MOSP sprint 2006

From DaVinci

  • Bad Things:
    • Didn't start on time
    • Not use enough graphics
    • Didn't finish on time
    • Didn't discuss about the process specifically
    • Didn't have slides to cover the future plan of the next semester
    • Didn't discuss a lot of the architecture
    • Missed notion of the architecture; "when will you start?"
    • Missed master plan to build it; don't know where you're going in the long haul; could't get the sense of progress; when and how will you have the 'big picture'?
    • Team seems to be behind in requirement elicitation, the approach to address the problem?
    • Spent too much time on project background
    • "I do not understand what their system does." Where did your component fit in their system?
    • Why are "good things" good things? "
    • Requirements, the impression is that you're doing the right things, but should have covered more ground at this point.
    • Could have an OSATE screenshot showing a hello-world kind of design, just to make it more concrete to the audience
    • Could have a timeline graph showing sprints just like the one you presented to clients at the end of (if not mistaken) sprint 3
    • You guys didn't demonstrate a grasp of the architecture on one side and of the big picture plan on the other. You'll be asked about that in the EOSP.
    • Find ways to engage audience.
    • Be able to clearly show if we are making progress
    • Need to include in our presentations items that imply/show we are following our process



  • Good Things:
    • Good coverage of project scope
    • Summary of progress on commitment
    • Answer questions adequately
    • Good backup slides
    • Had an ok Q&A session
    • All the team was here for the presentation.
    • Continuity from previous EOSP
    • Adequate understanding of business drives
    • Pretty good job at describing architectural drivers
