Revising the Backlog
|
Hello! I am Oskar Nolstedt and I am the project manager for Team Nazgul. Seeing as we project managers do not have a ”creative” speciality all we can really do is help the artists and programmers best we canf or we can work on for example documentation. Except for making the team run smoothly and so on obviously. This last week I mostly spent revising the backlog from the first draft. We had some things that had to be changed, but we also had to add a few artefacts that were not there in the first place. We were done with the first draft of the backlog pretty quickly with everyone in the group helping each other to figure out all the things that had to be in there. We sat down as a group and did it together. I know some groups designated one person to completing the backlog but we figured it best if we all helped out so that we all knew what is in there. It is also often better to work together in the group since you most of the time get a lot more done a lot quicker if you are in the same room than if you are working from home where it is a lot easier to be distracted by other things. When we made the backlog in the first place we were all a bit stressed, something that can probably be related to my inexperience as a project manager (I’ll get better!), so some things ended up in the wrong place. This obviously had to be corrected, so that is what I spent the most time on. It was not really that hard but it was quite tedious and took some time since the google spreadsheet does not have a function to change an entire column (at least not that I know of). So that was basically what I did the most, sat down and changed every single box in a couple of columns in the backlog. Very boring, but it had to be done! Hopefully I will do something a bit more fun next week!
