Sprints
Sprint #4
I created a website you’re looking at right now. I didn’t manage to implement a theme I designed so I decided to use a default Jekyll theme. I have uploaded my Daily Scrum notes. I don’t think they have much value, but I did it for the sake of transparency. I was thinking how to bail out of it, so I hope you enjoy them. I stopped entering time spent - I let Trello track it. While I still occasionally enter time spent on writing Daily Scrum notes, I plan to use a dedicated card.
Sprint #3
I started using a template to write these notes. I got a hang of it and now I need only <5 mins to write them! I wasn’t consistent with updating time spent but I was spending up to 4 hrs every day.
Sprint #2
These notes might be a bit chaotic. My only true goal was to get a hang of Scrum. I planned on writing Daily Scrum notes, Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective. And I wrote them indeed. I was trying to use Excel as a Scrum Board but I failed miserably. I slipped on flyweight factory refactoring and failed to close the sprint on time. I also forgot I should probably add a win screen or something. Closing the sprint was a traumatic experience, I assure you. It will only get better, though.
Sprint #1
The first sprint wasn’t really a sprint. I just had a list of features I want to implement and I was coding them. I wasn’t using Scrum back then, that’s why there are no notes here. Due to some perturbations I didn’t release it as v0.1.0 but merged it with the next release instead.
