Overview of Scenario #5 Task Assignment

Ms. Donna Cortez, PMO Director at XYZ Corporation, has tasked you with viewing four videos under consideration for inclusion in an upcoming course on Agile/Sprint Retrospectives. To assist her, you will view the requested four videos and write a short response on each video, per her specifications. Any information not included in the XYZ case may be augmented as you see fit as long as your extension is not in conflict with the information included in the original case.

Key information on the four videos is listed below, including video number, video title, and video URL on the web. In your analyses, you will refer to the video number, and not the title. The four assigned videos are as follows:

Video 1 - Title: Agile in Practice: Retrospectives after Iteration
Video 2 - Title: The Wrong way to do Agile Retrospectives
Video 3 - Title: How to improve your Scrum Sprint Retrospectives
Video 4 - Title: Inside the Sprint Retrospective

No comparison of the videos is required. Per Ms. Cortez, your task assignment is to execute the following steps and to develop and submit the cited summary/analysis deliverables.

1. View Video 1 several times.

2. Summarize the key content of Video 1 and state its provided definition of Agile retrospectives. Also, include a reminder about any related content important to XYZ Corporation that is not included in the video.

3. View Video 2 several times.

4. Summarize the key content of Video 2 and state each of the wrong ways dramatized in the video. For each wrong way included in the video, state the corresponding right way, and provide a brief description of the right way in the XYZ Agile environment.

Be sure to address: 1) what to keep as is ("like"); and 2) what to improve ("don't like") for the next Sprint, as well Mr. Southerland's concept of "the one thing" to emphasize. After your initial summary, include 3 representative examples of items that may come up in a retrospective in the category of what to keep as is and the category of what to improve.

Task Requirements

1. Do tasks #1-#8 in the preceding list;

2. Make your responses as short or long as needed (generally, a 100 word narrative for each video is sufficient) to address the PMO Director's requirements appropriately (FYI... the PMO Director wants your expert viewpoint, so no outside sources are expected);

3. Use a numbered list to present your four responses to the four assigned videos;

4. Follow all guidelines in the provided assignment rubric to maximize your grade; and

5. Submit your assignment in LEO per the Course Syllabus.
