This approach might save some dev time as well (since SAs/PMs only would be attending the meetings and we might be in position to lower the number of daily stand ups - at one point we had 3 daily stand up sessions) and we would have a session where all vendors would be grouped and in position to fully align with each other (currently we have only weekly status meeting which is a pure status overview type of meeting)]]> 2017-11-28 15:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_schnauffer/s8td2z1a5efo/wish/210947384 goran_posilovic https://padlet.com/mark_schnauffer/s8td2z1a5efo/wish/210949641 Currently, Sprint planning is not following the key Agile principles (e.g. almost 100% of Must functionalities; unplanned events not factored in - expected utilisation is 100%...)

At this point the team is exhausted (a good part of the Sprints were challenging and were based on heavily chasing target dates), knowledge shares are pending, as well as documentation updates (e.g. Phase 1 sign off still pending and documentation, most likely, will not be delivered before Jan 2018.)

Ideally, we should have a week break after 3-4 Sprints (9-12 weeks) to make sure all early mentioned deliverables are covered on time.]]> 2017-11-28 15:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_schnauffer/s8td2z1a5efo/wish/210950919 Marina_Belousova https://padlet.com/mark_schnauffer/s8td2z1a5efo/wish/210951025 All requests/questions always find quick response from other teams

Also, JIRA labels/approach to be reviewed for cleaner reporting.

In case there are leftovers from covered Sprint, new stories to be opened (containing remaining functionalities) and labeled as the new sprint items, etc.
