Team Meetings
In addition to Team Labs, TAs are responsible for leading weekly, virtual team meetings. Team meetings are 50 minutes long and these meetings are best spent using the time to plan with corporate partner mentors. This meeting is the only regularly scheduled time the team will have with corporate partner mentors so this time is very valuable.

TAs and Mentors can NOT cancel labs or team meetings. This will cause issues with Purdue University policies. If you are unable to make it to a meeting, contact your mentor to discuss what will be covered. If your mentor can not make it to a meeting, please use the meeting time to discuss and complete work with the team. |
Use these team meetings to complete the following sprint ceremonies:
Sprint Planning
Sprint planning should be conducted every two weeks at the start of each sprint. Having the assistance of corporate partner mentors is valuable during sprint planning because they can help keep the project moving in the right direction. Proceed by moving through all sub-teams and assigning tasks to each team member to be completed during the sprint.

Sprint Review
Sprint reviews should be conducted every two week as well. These meetings are times for sub teams to present progress updates and demonstrations to corporate partner mentors as well as receive feedback on their work. This time can also be used to ask mentors questions that are relevant to the whole group.
This meeting allows for consistent, technical presentation practice, giving team members new presentation skills and confidence. Sprint reviews are also open and honest discussions between the team and corporate partner mentors. Using this time effectively will aid the project immensely.
