Review: organize your tasks!

Achievable Development Plan: It is always important to align your goals with the Customer’s goals. Stay focused on your Customer’s requirements.

Defining Iterations: It is important you define your Iterations with your team. Iterations should be short, about 30 work days, that way you can catch mistakes quickly.

VELOCITY-Productive time: Velocity is how fast your team can actually work. In other words velocity is a percentage. Given X number of days, how much of that time is Productive work.

Backlog: The backlog is actually just a big board on the wall of your office. You should Use it to keep track on what work’s in the pipeline, what’s in progress, and what’s done.

Milestone 1.0: It is your FIRST MAJOR release, you show your Customer your working, functional Software and you expect to get paid for it.

Break User Stories into tasks: Divide the work into smaller, achievable tasks. By Breaking User Stories into tasks you add confidence to your Estimates and your plan.

Use estimates to track your project: Track your project from Inception to Completion, it is always smart to know exactly where you are and how you are doing.

Update your backlog: Your User Stories and tasks must be moving from the Pipeline to “in progress”, to “completed” all the time. It is important to update the Backlog daily.

Standup Meetings: Small daily meeting you have with your team to inform others of your progress, general feelings and difficulties.

Analyze and Design: Analyzing and designing your software , and pivoting when necessary is going to be an Integral part of the Software Development Process.

Modeling your Design: Once you know you need to adjust remember you must adjust your Backlog, User Stories and Estimates too.
