unitED Sprint 3
The product owner, in consultation with the sales/marketing team and
based on the feedback from a focus group, has decided that the
product is not likely to sell well and that it needs many more
features. To that end, several new stories have been entered into
the product backlog.
1 Before the Sprint Planning Meeting
1.1 Additional Features
Before the sprint planning meeting you must all read and understand

1.2 Preparing for Deployment/Release
Also before the sprint planning meeting each member of the team
must read the descriptions of the:
and add appropriate items into the sprint backlog. (Also, you
should probably agree on a firm date/time when these tasks will
begin, and think about what tasks are on the critical path before
these tasks.)
2 The Sprint Planning Meeting
During the sprint planning meeting you must:
- Move stories/tasks that were not completed during the last sprint
to this one.
- Apply the sprint planning process to those stories/tasks
and any remaining stories in the product backlog. (See sprint 1
if you've forgotten the process.)
3 The Remainder of the Sprint
After the sprint planning meeting is over, each member of the team must
complete the tasks that they took responsibility for and
record their progress in the Scrum tool.
4 What You Will Need for the Review
You should, by now, know what you will need for the review.

sprint.
