• Exercise 20: Team Tasks Posted: Sep 23

  As a team, take a user story that has an estimate, and create the tasks for that user story. Then, create the estimate for each task by playing planning poker using the procedure described on pages 48-49 of the book. Go through the estimation process at least one time.

  When the team reaches a consensus for the estimate, place the estimate at the bottom of the task, e.g., "Estimate: 1 day" or "Estimate: 3 days".

  Individually, each team member will turn in to Brightspace individual notes that include for each round of planning poker:

  • Title of the user story and task
  • Any questions on or confusions with the user story/task
  • Any assumptions that you made
  • Any interesting assumptions that other team members made
  • The spread of estimates, indicating which one is yours
  • The estimate, which is a team consensus (if the team was able to reach one in this round)

  If the team cannot reach a consensus, table that task and go on to another one.

  The notes are due by the end of class. They can be a PDF (print to file from a computing device) or a JPG (picture taken via phone). The notes are for today only. Do not start with the notes from the previous team meeting.

  The more you work with the user stories, the more you will find improvements to them. Be sure to make those improvements.
