Project planning 7

Sprint planning 8

Scrum 9

Standup meetings Each team member must be present at every standup meeting Not in the last two weeks during the examination period Missing two meetings will have as a consequence that the student receives an official warning (“yellow card”) After the third missed meeting the student is excluded from the project and cannot pass anymore The project manager keeps track of presence Permission of absence is granted by supervisor or (if needed because of personal circumstances) study counselor

Assessment / marking Necessary conditions for passing the project: All professional skills assignments are completed One has not been excluded from the project, e.g. because of free-riding, or missing three scrum meetings The mark is calculated as follows: Documents and code delivered by each group are marked using the SEP marking form (see website) A copy of this form will be filled in by at least 2 staff members Code quality is checked by tooling The results will form the main (average) mark for the group The individual contribution of each student is judged based on the peer reviews, held twice during the project. Filled by: The students of the group The project manager and quality manager The supervisor The mark for each student is the result from (1) with a correction [-1,+1] from (2)

Peer reviews Halfway and at the end of the project Use a standard peer evaluation form Available at website At the start of the project: The group defines the characteristics of a “reliable team member” Discuss the notion of “contribution”, “commitment” (inzet) and “reliability” to obtain a common understanding These characteristics should be added to the review form

Other project procedures Review of documents Attention points from checklists Customer involved in: URD, SRD, SUM, and Acceptance Test review Approval signature needed of supervisor and customer Reporting: time metrics (weekly) Every project member keeps track of time spent Exception: project manager and quality manager Time spent and planned for each back log item Some standard items (documentation writing, ...) All user stories as separate item (white index cards in “Scrum and XP from the Trenches”) Collected by project manager Ready every Monday, then sent to SEP coordinator

Time metrics (each week)

Management roles and tasks Project manager / scrum master Planning: chairs planning sessions, stand up meetings, demos and retrospectives Organizes scrum board, keeps back log up to date Reports progress to SEP coordinator: Weekly progress sessions Weekly e-mail metrics (time tracking) Quality engineer / manager Responsible for quality of documents Use marking form as check list Takes care that reviews are held Takes care that a proper testing environment is set up by the group Enforces “continuous testing” approach Organizes peer reviews

Planned meetings Daily standup meetings Total team Headed by project manager Weekly project meetings (sprint planning, demo, retrospective) Preferably also supervisor present Weekly progress meetings Project manager, quality manager and SEP coordinator 15 minutes for each group, Monday Individual meetings of team members and supervisor Two times: halfway the project and near the end General meetings Intermediate presentation Project status Final presentation Presentation + poster For general public (invite: parents, relatives, friends, ….)

Short term work Define project name Establish meeting schedule Contact between group and project manager Contact supervisor Assign tasks and responsibilities Start UR group (2-3 people) Go to customer Ask questions Write iteratively versions of URD Involve customer as much as possible Set up development environment Including configuration management Perform research into technical questions Read about scrum
