We’ve all seen it. The “manager’s special”. Hastily created and pinned to a wall, either helping clear stock, or clumsily attempting to tap into interest in a local event.

Each sprint cycle starts with a Sprint Planning meeting where the tasks that will be worked on during the sprint are identified. We hold two Product Backlog Refinement meetings, one halfway through the sprint and another toward the end. In these meetings we decide on the importance and size of any “pending” work, the result of which determines what tasks will make it into the next sprint cycle. When the sprint is finished we hold a Review and Retrospective meeting, providing us with the opportunity to discuss what we achieved during the sprint and identify areas that could be improved or refined. And then the cycle begins again!

These real-time changes ensure your screens remain accurate at all times and your competitors will be amazed at the speed of your response.
