Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we are getting ready to take a short break before the final push this iteration.  Over a third of the remaining work is blocked on paperwork from the state of Virginia, so we may not close out everything on the list if we don’t hear from them in time.  If that turns out to be the case we will just wrap that administrative work up in December.

In the mean time, we are collecting some great test data and our testers are doing wonderful things like raising money for children’s hospitals on Holoseat.  We cannot express how thankful we are for our testers and everything they are doing.

Backlog – See Kanban 1.2 tab for current sprint plan and Backlog tab for full backlog.

The post PY19 Kanban 1.2 Stand Up 3 appeared first on Model B.

We are doing some mid-iteration inspection and adaptation, which closes our burn down better than last week, but also represents a little backing up to try a different course where social media is concerned.  In other news, the business structure work is coming along at a reasonable pace.

As we hoped, the burn down chart looks much better this week.  The trick will be to keep up this pace for the full sprint.  Check out our Pics feed for shots of the evolving v1 release of Holoseat!
