Iteration 1: COMPLETE!

posted 13 Apr 2011 17:47 by Adam Neumann
Lounging Hound is currently 100% focussed on finishing the prototype. In fact, we are so focussed that we have finished our first iteration ahead of schedule!!! Woohoo!!! Go LoHo!!!

We use GravityDev.com to handle our Agile ALM. This is what our story burn down chart looked like for Iteration 1:


Our task burn down chart also looks good (albeit with a chaotic 'remaining hours' line). The peaks correspond to entering new tasks at the commencement of a story. The chart looks like this:


Some of the things we've taken away from this iteration include:
  • our estimates were a little high (ie. we underestimated our AWESOMENESS!)
  • tasks (especially estimated hours) should be entered before starting the iteration
  • we should better leverage tasks (steps to completing or the method) and acceptance tests (outcomes or goals) when decomposing stories
