Sprint Planning Meeting

Sprint Planning Meeting (We are using sticky notes to brainstorm ideas at our sprint planning meeting, picture credit to @markhoel)

User Stories

We brainstormed some ideas on a game designed for children. Since we cannot find any young children during the meeting, we did some research online and pretend us as children in different ages.

  • User Story #1: As I am a 9-year-old, I want a colorful game with a nice surrounding, so it looks pleasant.
  • User Story #2: As I am a 7-year-old, I want something easy to play and understand, so that I can easily play it.
  • User Story #3: As I am a 10-year-old, I want to play something cool and interactive, so that I will have a lot of fun.
