Sprint Schedule

• Weekly Kickoff Meeting: on the Monday of each week of the Sprint
  • Sprint Participants (or a representative from your organization) should attend the Sprint Week Kickoff Meeting (in DSpace Meeting Room).  
  • The goal of the Kickoff meeting is to:
    • Touch base & finalize plans / goals for the Sprint week (i.e. ensure everyone is on the same page)
    • Ensure all participants have assigned tasks, and any necessary support/resources to begin their work
    • Go through expectations / protocols of the Sprint (Contributing code via PRs, Where to ask for help/support, Meeting schedule for week, etc)
• Daily Standups: On each day of the Sprint (Tues-Fri), prior to 15:00UTC, each participant should report their (individual) status update on Slack.  This will act as our daily "standup" meeting.

  • Template (feel free to copy and paste into Slack and fill in the details)
