Sprint 1

I had my first "Sprint planning meeting" with myself.  It was actually harder than I thought as I really have no idea how much I can fit into a sprint since it is my first one.  This is good as it is all a learning experience and next time after seeing how much I accomplish during this sprint will help me better estimate next time.

Github is a really amazing tool which is helping me stay organized with my code, my backlog, and my sprints.  I created a milestone called sprint 1 and added all the tasks I believe I can finish during this sprint.

Sprint 1 is from 10/09/11-11/09/11

With all the labels, assignments and milestones, I feel so organized!  Trying to keep track of all this would be infinitely harder without this.

You can see there are comments on 3 of the issues, this was before I realized you could put multiple labels on issues, I was putting estimates within the comments.




For most of those I will put user stories, but for the infrastructure update, Update to rails 3.1, I will just do it.  There is an extra chapter on the E-book that goes through this process and I will be doing that, which is why its not actually that huge of a task.

If I do finish all of those before the Sprint is over I will just pull some other smaller items out of the back log.

I will keep posted with user stories and progress as the sprint goes on.  That will be sort of my scrum meeting since I don't have a team to report on the progress I can at least post on here a few times a week.

Again if you have any feedback, questions or any constructive criticism let me know!
