Sprint cycles

• 1 week sprints
• Daily “async” standup in the rocket chat
• Schedule additional calls as-needed
• Weekly call: Sprint Review (Demo and feedback) + Planning Thursdays @ 3:00 pm
  • No separate retros
• After Sprint Review
  • Product Owner and Code Review, approvals on PR

Development practices

• Feature work in a branch
• Open a PR in draft mode
  • when a PR is opened a temporary deployment is created where the changes can be viewed and we can use for demos
• Merge into main requires approvals from others
  • Konane as PO will sign-off on features
  • Code review as needed will be from Om and Aman
