Creating the Sprint Backlog: The Sprint Review

Once all of the items within the sprint backlog have been completed, it will be time for a Sprint Review.  The Sprint Review is when the development team presents the completed tasks, through a demonstration, to the stakeholders.

The Sprint Backlog cannot be deemed completed and all tasks officially ‘done’ until each task has been approved by the Product Owner.  Any items deemed as incomplete or ‘not done’ will be reviewed by the Product Owner who will then either return them to the developer for completion during the same sprint, or they will reformat the requirements of the task and include it in the next sprint.

User Stories Applied

A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review

User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them. He then discusses how to go about writing a user story, and provides details of the INVEST criteria that can be used to determine if the story is meeting all of its objectives. Next Mike gives an in depth discussion of who user stories are written for and where to begin when gathering the details for them. The book then discusses acceptance testing user stories, including how to go about specifying these criteria and the responsibilities of the development team and customers during this process.
