We started work on the features without too much panic, because the sprint demo was at 3 pm. With the tasks related to the sprint demo being in progress we tried adding some functionality from outside of the scope of this sprint. Our mistake in this was, that we also tried changing the part, that was in the sprint. This caused a big part of our system to have buggy implementation 2 hours before our first official demo.
This meant that it was time for our first hotfix, to restore the previous functionality in time for the demo. With this done we had an introduction to Jira for our next sprint.
The demonstration was up next and after a nervous start everyone got the gist of the story and our Product Owner had to decide if she accepts the story or not. I'm happy to say all of the stories presented were accepted.
With a successful sprint behind us it was time for our retro. As we stickied our ups and downs during the sprint we had some patterns emerging. On the positive side our teamwork is good. On the negative side.. Oh boy.. If Estonians are known to be critical of things, then in this sprint even our Georgian teammate ran out of red stickers. The conclusion for the bad part being : Task planning, Different views on programming, Code quality, Testing.
The last thing we did was discuss our codebase and decided to add The Repository Pattern to our existing codebase and refactor the existing codebase.
