Scrum Review Meeting

• Go through each sticker in “complete”– Demonstration to make sure they actually were

completed• E.g. Thermal image to recognize hot-spots -- shows the

program running on a laptop that puts a box on the image• Take snapshot! Live demos are hard.

– It is bad if there are many in the “incomplete”– Learn/adjust for next sprint

Buying things

• As early as possible• BUT do research first– DONT buy the wrong thing because you are

hurried– Make estimations of risk
