Sprint #1

All sprints will have the same due dates, but the sprint start and end dates are slightly shifted depending on when a team has their lab (2 hours) and lecture (50 minutes). This is so that sprints always start with a lec and follow the format lec-lab-lec-lab.

You can find a visual of the sprint schedule in the Agile Training Ceremonies page. More details will be covered in the agile training below.

*Please note that sprint 1 starts on August 22, the first day of fall 2022 semester, for both schedules. Once we are in a regular sprint schedule, you will see the lab then meeting schedule shift to starting on Thursdays.

Check out the Team Meeting Times & Locations page or your course registration.

Please also refer to Microsoft Teams for more information on Microsoft Teams and email groups.
