I will schedule a 20 minute individual meetings with each project group that will occur during class time. If you are doing an implementation project we will review and discuss the initial product backlog and your initial sprint definition. If you are doing a research project we will discuss your progress to this point and define your direction for the next several weeks.

For Implementation Projects prior to the meeting you must:

• Address any short comings or requested extensions of your demonstration of minimal functionality from the Project Architecture Assignment. (I will notify you via e-mail of what I would like to see addressed or extended.)
  
  
• Create a project in ScrumWorks.
• Consult with your client to produce an initial product backlog. For each product backlog item you must:
  • Provide a description of the item.
  • Define one or more acceptance tests that can be used to confirm that the item is completed.
  • Estimate the effort needed to complete the item in arbitrary units of your choice.
• Prioritize the initial product backlog in consultation with your client.
• Break the highest priority product backlog items into tasks, provide descriptions of each and estimate them in hours.
• Estimate the number of hours you will have to work during a 2-week sprint from 10/23/07 through 11/6/07.
• Create a new sprint in ScrumWorks for 10/23/07 through 11/6/07 and commit an appropriate number of the highest priority items (w/ their tasks) from the product backlog to the sprint backlog.

For Research Projects prior to your meeting you must:

• Revise and add additional entries in your annotated bibliography as requested. (I will send any requests for revisions / additions via e-mail.)
  
  
• Be prepared to discuss what you have done in pursuit of your research question in the preceding 2 weeks.
• Be prepared to propose specifically what you plan to do in pursuit of your research question in the succeeding 2 weeks.
