Starting the first sprint
Pitfalls - Customer is there ( but not full time) and Sprint 1 started but no deliverables (working software) !! Challenges - Initial Product Backlog with must have stories are not defined which means there will be no initial design model. Engineering team is there but everyone is directionless as nobody knows where to start!! How to be prepared - Be ready with Product backlog with must have stories and requirement workshop with engineering team before starting the Sprint 1. Engineering team must have an architect to do the initial design. Requirement workshop to be conducted in presence of customer.Team should be well trained to work in Agile methodology. Plan some deliverable in the Sprint 1
