Agile Meetings

Daily Stand-ups

• Purpose: A quick daily check-in to sync on progress and blockers.

• Product Designer's Role:

  • Share what they accomplished the previous day.

  • Discuss any roadblocks they encountered.

  • Outline their plan for the current day.

Sprint Planning

• Purpose: To plan the work for the upcoming sprint.

• Product Designer's Role:

  • Collaborate with the team to define user stories and acceptance criteria.

  • Estimate the effort required for design tasks.

  • Discuss potential design challenges and solutions.

Sprint Review

• Purpose: To review the completed work of the sprint and gather feedback.

• Product Designer's Role:

  • Present the final designs and prototypes.

  • Gather feedback from stakeholders and the team.

  • Address any design concerns or questions.

• Sprint reviews are different to sprint retrospectives in that they include both the team and the stakeholders in order to inspect the work done and seek feedback on the product. In other words they focus on the work done / product increment and its impact on achieving the Product Goal. Sprint Retrospectives on the other hand just typically involve the team and focus on the process and how the team worked together during the Sprint with an aim of identifying what went well, what didn't, and how to improve the process for future Sprints.

Sprint Retrospective

• Purpose: To reflect on the past sprint and identify areas for improvement.

• Product Designer's Role:

Design Sprints

• Purpose: To rapidly prototype and test design solutions.

• Product Designer's Role:

  • Actively participate in all phases of the design sprint.

  • Conduct user research and generate design ideas.

  • Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.

  • Test designs with users and iterate based on feedback.
