Project Plan

Define your optimal sprint duration and plan your sprints until project end using Global Sprint Plan Table 1.

Sprint Start Finish
Project 03-20-2020 06-23-2020
First research 02-20-2020 05-03-2020
System schematics and structural drafts 03-06-2020 03-10-2020
System schematics and structural drawings, cardboard scale model 03-11-2020 03-20-2020
List of materials completed 03-21-2020 04-22-2020
Refined interim report 03-26-2020 05-29-2020
Functional tests 04-23-2020 06-12-2020
Upload of the final report, presentation, video 06-03-2020 06-12-2020

Build your project backlog, including all relevant tasks/deliverables, using Project Backlog Table 2. Prioritize all backlog items (PBI), keeping higher priority items at the top, and lower priority at the bottom.

Table 2: Project Backlog
PBI Title Status
Z Drafts and structural drawings In progress
K List of materials In progress
D Create a name and a logo In progress
A State of the art Almost done
B Uploading Gantt Chart In progress
E Interim Report To do
F Design To do
G Functional Tests To do
H Final report To do
I Presentation To do

Plan each sprint at its beginning (Sprint Planning session) using the Sprint Plan Table 3.

Table 3: Sprint Plan
Sprint Task Duration (d) Responsible Involved
1 D State of the Art 2
1 Z Global sprint plan 1 Team
1 Z Project Backlog 1 Team
1 Z Gantt Chart 1 Team
1 Z Global sprint plan 1 Team
1 K Defining a clear idea 4 Team

Review each sprint at its end and update each item status on the Progress Register Table 4.

Table 4: Project Progress Register
Sprint PBI Responsible Involved Status
1 Z X and Y X, Y, Z, W Done
2 K Z X, Y, Z, W Done
3 D W, Y and Z X, Y, Z, W Done
4 A Y X, Y, Z, W Done
5 B Z and W X, Y, Z, W In progress
6 E X and W X, Y, Z, W In progress
7 C Y and Z X, Y, Z, W In progress

Current version of Gantt Chart. Gantt Chart was mainly made by using known deadlines. Figure 1. shows the construction of the Gantt Chart.
