Planning
|
After the pitch for the game was approved, a plan was required so that the ones responsible for the course could see that we were going to make the vertical slice within the time allotted for development. In the concept, we had decided what the vertical slice would consist of. The planning was a collaborative effort of the entire group, because each member has an area that they know how much time is necessary for each artifact. In the planning document, we also described how we would keep up with development. To do this we decided to use the agile development method Scrum. In a previous course, we had been taught this method and decided that it would be the safest option. Scrum consists of stand-up meetings each day and sprint planning’s and reviews at the start and end of each week. At the sprint plan meetings, each member of the team describes what they are going to work on during the sprint, these sprints in our case are one week long. During stand-up meeting, each team member informs the team what they have done up until the meeting and what they are going to do that day. On the sprint review the team members review what has been done during the week and if they are on schedule.  |
