Agile Business Analysis

Assessment - Retrospective Storyboard

Learning Outcome 1: Communicate agile methods, processes and approaches with stakeholders in order to address organisational requirements.

Task Summary

In preparation for Assessment 3 - a group assessment - you are asked to take the time to do a personal retrospective on how working with your team has gone so far. The aim is for you to take stock of the current situation and think of creative ways to bring to team together to best achieve your goals and objectives for Assessment 3.

A key tool to help you is a storyboard. The aim of using a storyboard is to help you to do a personal retrospective reflection on how your tea work is progressing.

Context
Working successfully as a team is core to Agile - no one hero can carry the team through complex projects. The whole team needs to pull together to achieve the best outcomes. Reflective and retrospectives enable changing how one is working, to help your team get better results.

Task Instructions

It is not expected that you are a talented artist - stick figures are more than adequate to help you tell your story.
You are free to use a storyboard template of your choosing and write whatever notes around the frame of what you have drawn to make your story clear. You will be expected to label team members by name.

The storyboard is meant to help you not hinder you, so be creative and use it to your best advantage. Watch this video for some tips:

Use the storyboard to illustrate an example of a team activity where you have worked together.
After you have completed the storyboard, it is time to do a personal retrospective reflection:
1. What went well -
a. What success has the team achieved together, whether it was the timely submission of team agreement, or arriving at a good cadence of team meetings - select something your team has done well.
b. Who contributed to this success and what did they do?
c. What was your direct contribution to this success?
2. What didn't go so well -
a. What opportunity does your team have to improve their performance?
b. Who in the team is helping, and who is holding you back.
3. What will I do differently next time -
a. What actions could be taken to achieve a more productive outcome.
b. What steps you are going to take next to achieve that positive outcome.

Report Structure
The submission is brief and therefore will NOT require an executive summary or abstract.

Title page: should include subject ID, subject name, assignment title, student's name, student number and lecturer's name.
Introduction (150-200 words): Also serve as your statement of purpose for the report. This means that you will tell the reader what you are going to cover in your report. You will need to inform the reader of:
1. The method you will use
2. The key concepts you will be addressing,
3. What the reader can expect to find in the body of your assessment response.

Body of the report (1100-1200 words):

1. What went well -
a. What success has the team achieved together, whether it was the timely submission of team agreement, or arriving at a good cadence of team meetings - select something your team has done well.
b. Who contributed to this success and what did they do?
c. What was your direct contribution to this success?

2. What didn't go so well -
a. What opportunity does your team have to improve their performance?
b. Who in the team is helping, and who is holding you back.
3. What will I do differently next time -

b. What steps you are going to take next to achieve that positive outcome.

Conclusion (150-200 words): summarise two recommendations that you plan to implement on the group project going forward to help the team to improve their performance and achievable grade outcome.
