Time to Review

An important part of Agile and Scrum is backlog refinement. This is a chance to review all the pending work and confirm it's still valid. Due to the iterative nature of Agile, something that was necessary last week, might be unecessary this week!

  • If a work item is no longer needed, change the estimated time to zero and close it.
  • Add any bugs discovered that haven't been added yet.
  • Add any other new work or assignment deliverables.

Time Management

Daily Workflow
Start of working:
  • Review the Dashboard:
    • What work needs to be done?
    • Are there updates by team members?
  • Select what you will work on today.
End of working:
  • Add the amount of time you spent today
  • Update remaining time the value to what you feel is the most accurate reflection of the amount of work you think is remaining.
  • If the work is done, set the remaining time to zero after adding all spent time and close the work request.
