Retrospective

• What went well

• All the PBI’s got done, and everyone pulled together to make sure it happened. This was especially impressive considering that there were a lot of items
• Scope creep of Apogee III banner design did not affect other PBI’s getting done
• Everything turned out well
• Finally captured the full history of GS
• Demonstrated across the country coordination of physical asset (the display)
• Many assets produced will be important for future PR work.

• What didn’t go well

• A number of last minute tasks being done, like assembling the display materials. Some things might have turned out better had they not been rushed.
• Some of the PBI’s could have used more thorough descriptions
• Not all PBI’s were independent (see GS history)
• A number of sprint members missed many standups
• Scope creep of banner

• What we could do differently

• Aggregate all of the lessons learned and review them at the beginning of the sprint
• Each standup when a hard deadline is in play, review what work is left to do and make sure that things aren’t slipping to the last minute.
• When selecting PBI’s for the sprint, make sure everyone's clear on what done means for them, and adjust PBI description if needed.
• Sprint members should not be acting under multiple roles on a regular basis
• Better marketing of Ground Sphere and more networking
