Agile Sprint Planning with Orangescrum




Developing a product or a service your customers will love, requires exquisite planning and management of the product and engineering teams. Requirement sign-offs as well as the agreed timelines by the customer are critical success factors.

Once you are set to begin execution, it is important to have the project phases, user stories, sprints, and tasks aligned. Furthermore, ensure that your teams understand what is to be delivered as part of each Sprint without losing sight of the overall deliverables.

The focus should always be that of ONE SPRINT at a time.

“Quick & Dirty” or a “Good Enough on time” deliverable has always been preferred over that elusive delayed yet “perfect” result. 

This is where the agile way of doing things scores the most. It is incremental & iterative. Our clients today are obsessed with quick results. What better way than Sprints to satisfy them!

They always want things delivered yesterday!

Not only that, an agile offer us the flexibility of making changes at the right time rather than at an end stage which is detrimental to the project and all involved.
And this where having well-planned Sprints come in handy.

You time-box your Sprints, lay out the tasks involved, have the team ready to execute and monitor results as you make progress. 

And if you look at it from an IT Service Provider standpoint, it gives you greater control over your projects, prevents them from being overrun by unwanted scope creeps & delays and lastly from running out of the budget.

In this short article, I will explain how you can plan and manage your sprints in OrangeScrum.

With OrangeScrum’s sprint planning, you can have the full clarity on your sprint plans, milestones, sprint launch dates, backlogs and all the progress in one place.

As we all know Sprint is a set period of time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for review.
