TODO Outline

Status report

How much work goes into creating one, and how much time do people actually spend looking at it? (waste)

What’s in a Status Report?

  • Recent Accomplishments
  • Upcoming Activities
  • Risks
  • Schedule & Budget Updates

Scrum Board

  • Use the A-TEAM Board to build the lesson. Walk through the board examples to build up to the full board. Impart the idea that the full board shows the full cycle from idea to completed work (value).
  • If you have any examples of boards of your own, show them if you can
  • What can the learners take back to their own teams on Monday from the boards we’ve reviewed?
