Overview
The final project for this course is a retrospective that aims to identify the “lessons learned” from the Scrum Team’s product development process. When writing the final retrospective, reflect on your experiences in various Scrum Team roles in the journal assignments throughout the course. In this module, you will learn about the importance of communication in an Agile environment. You will also briefly discuss Agile project-management tools and how they enhance team communication and efficiency.
Directions
In this final journal assignment, you will evaluate the importance of communication on an Agile team and how effective communication practices support work on a development project. Use the following questions to guide your last assignment concerning Agile communication practices and project-management tools. Apply what you have learned from your experience in each role within the Scrum Team.
What communication practices (such as information radiator, Scrum events, and so on) can create openness and transparency in a Scrum Team? Why?
Consider an example from the SNHU Travel assignments or from the group discussions in this course that helped your team complete their work. What communication practices were particularly effective?
Describe how an Agile project-management tool (such as JIRA, Azure Boards, or RTC) can help coordinate and increase efficiency within the team. Be certain to consider a tool and not a Scrum event.
