Capstone Project - Week 6

With the trade show quickly approaching, you will need to work with the team to create an impressive working demo by the end of this sprint. With the added pressure, issues may arise. Will the team get the product completed in time?

Well, this was quite the ride.

I hope you all had fun.

I would like to do a project retrospective.

I know we've done Sprint Retrospectives in the past,

but how many of you had done a project retrospective?

>> I have.

>> I haven't, I've heard of them, but I've never done one before.

>> Okay, well as we were all just eloquently told, this project wouldn't

have happened without all the hard work by every member of this team and I personally

just want to say that I'm really proud to have worked with all of you.

Okay, so the first step in any project retrospective is to make sure that

everyone feels comfortable talking openly about what's on their mind.

So I'd just like to do a quick anonymous poll.

If you can just put a number on the piece of paper from one to five.

This number represents how safe you feel contributing to an open conversation in

this meeting.

A one indicates that you are very uncomfortable and

a five indicates that you're very comfortable.

Okay, well this is great, I din’t think we'd have any issues, but

nobody said anything less than a four, not that I had any doubts, so let's continue.

Did everyone bring in their artifacts?

>> So, what do we do with these?

>> Well, I would like everyone to talk about

what artifact means the most to them?

Josh, would you like to start?

>> Okay.

So, I brought in a screenshot.

It's a printout of a screenshot that I took and

it's a screenshot of my unit tests, failing.

I took this the first time my test failed when I thought that they wouldn't and

I like it because it's a good reminder that my code isn't always perfect and

that unit tests are important too, even if they take up more time.

And I also brought a can of bug spray that Alexa bought me as a joke.

>> Excellent choice, Josh.

>> Okay, I'll go next.

I brought in this post it note that someone left on my desk.

It says, good work today, keep it up.

I don't know who wrote it so, don't tell me because I kind of like not knowing,

but it helped me get through kind of a hard day.

It's just nice to be appreciated, you know?

So thank you to whoever wrote it.

>> Wonderful, it was really great working with you.

I brought in something too, of course.

I brought in our burndown chart from the project.

I think it's incredible the amount of work that we did and

that we accomplished together, and I wanted to remind everyone of that.

I also brought in a children's book.

It's a hard copy of the one we were using for Can Data.

I went out and bought it.

[LAUGH] But it's a memento of the project that will hopefully bring books like

this to deserving children all over the world.

>> It's perfect.

>> Thank you.

Maybe later, we could take a picture with our artifacts as a team.

>> Yeah, good idea.

>> Great.

>> So let's talk about the project a little bit more.

Was it a success?

>> I don't know. I mean, we got everything done that we

were supposed to, but I just wish that we could keep working on it.

I feel like we didn't build the best product that we could have built.

>> I see what you mean, but you have to remember that we did do really a good job

of staying focused on what was important and staying on time.

>> Yeah, and we had to deliver something for the trade show in just a few

sprints and you can't expect to get much done in so little time.

>> Well, you're not wrong, we could have done more.

What do you think Josh?

>> Actually, I thought it was pretty good.

I mean, nothing really major happened, so.

>> Okay, well then, the next exercise is building our project timeline.

I mean, it should be pretty straightforward considering how short

the project was.

So we'll all write down an event on a sticky note and

then put them on the piece of paper and

then we'll write down other significant events and put them on the paper as well.

So yeah, let's start, how about I’ll start with the beginning of the project,

then we all started working together.

>> So the first major event should be when we started building the app, right.

>> I think we should put down the requirements process first.

>> I think we can put them both down.

It was a collaborative effort.

Perfect, okay, well let's just think about this timeline a bit.

Our lovely product manager has given us some topics to discuss,

so, let's talk about them.

What worked well for us?

>> Our process.

I think we followed the Agile practices really well.

>> That's so true.

I think we worked really well as a team and

we communicated pretty well when all was said and done.

Okay, anything else?

No? All right, what did we learn?

>> I learned that writing test cases isn't really all that hard.

>> I learned that it isn't good to just do what you think is right without talking to

everyone first.

>> Okay, very good, you two.

>> I learned that SCRUM can be used on small projects with good success.

>> I also learned that I work well in a team, better than I thought I would.

>> Anything else?

>> Nope.

>> Okay, let's move on, shall we?

What would you do differently next time?

You guys rock, do you know that?

This is a lot of stuff and wow, we really did a lot during this project, didn't we?

All right, well that's just about it.

I don't think there was anything else that we need to talk about.

Can you guys think of anything?

>> Nope. >> Not me.

>> All right, well then, this has been fun.

How about we take a picture with all the stuff and

then I can send it to you guys right away?

>> Awesome, thanks for doing this with me.
