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..
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.
