report development process

how do we distribute report development process in sprints? should i put requirement gathering in sprint 1 and design in sprint2 or all activities such as requirement gathering , design , development should be part of single sprint?

Hello @powerbiexpert22 

 

It's depends on your project requirements/ timelines and team efforts.

 

The best approch I will follow is..

 

  • In sprint 1, I will gather high-level requirements and create initial designs and wireframes and finally I'll get feedback from my clients.
  • In sprint 2, After sign-off from my client, I'll proceed furthur such as start developing the report based on initial designs, continue ad hoc requirements and designs as needed and I will conduct repetative testing and gather feedback from my clients
  • Then, in sprint 3 I will finalize the development based on feedback and performing the market testing (UAT) once I got sign-off from clinet I'll publish to higher  environments.
  • Inf Sprint4 I will grant access to all end users and clinet will announce Go-Live.

Hope you are clear now.

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

There are a few different approaches you can consider:

The Sequential Approach: In this approach, you would allocate different phases of the development process to separate sprints. For example:

-----------------------------
Sprint 1: Requirement gathering

Sprint 2: Design
Sprint 3: Development
Sprint 4: Testing and deployment
------------------------------
This approach allows for a clear focus on each phase, but it may lead to longer overall project timelines as each phase is dependent on the completion of the previous one.

 

Parallel Approach: In this approach, you would include all activities (requirement gathering, design, development, testing) within a single sprint. This means that each sprint would deliver a small, but complete, increment of the report. For example:

-----------------------------------
Sprint 1: Requirement gathering, design, development, testing for a specific feature or section of the report
Sprint 2: Requirement gathering, design, development, testing for the next feature or section
--------------------------------------
This approach promotes continuous delivery and feedback, allowing for adjustments to be made throughout the project. It can be more efficient but requires careful planning and coordination.

 

 

Hybrid Approach: This approach combines elements of both sequential and parallel approaches. You might start with a sprint dedicated to requirement gathering and high-level design, followed by sprints that include design, development, and testing for specific features or sections. For example:

------------------------------------------
Sprint 1: Requirement gathering and high-level design
Sprint 2: Design, development, testing for Feature A
Sprint 3: Design, development, testing for Feature B
---------------------------------------
This approach provides a balance between focused phases and continuous delivery.

 

You can flexibly adjust it according to your needs.

 

Hope this helps.
