Alternalien Development Part 7: Crash Course in Agile

All development stopped today as we relearned Agile methodology.  We went over the basics, and even a few new things that I didn't know.  Agile is supposed to have 5 meetings, and we were only doing one of them.  They are in order: Backlog Grooming, where the Product Owner cleans and adjust the backlog for features that are going into a sprint.  Sprint Planning, where a feature team decides what goes into the next sprint.  Daily Scrum, which we call Stand Ups, are when team members give a brief report on what they've been doing and any impediments.  These are done before and during a sprint.


After a sprint has concluded, we then go into the Sprint Review meeting, where we report what tasks were done during the sprint.  Once that has concluded, we move onto a retrospectives, and the difference between a retrospective and a sprint review is that a retrospective is used by a team to make sure the methodology is being applied, while the sprint review is only to report the tasks done.  We decided on a day and an order in which to have these meetings, and this should help us in the future.
