Last Sprint Demo and more

Thursday, 15 May 2025, is the day for our final Sprint Review, Demo and Retrospective. The Sprint Demo will be from 13:15 to 16:05 (with breaks).

All teams can schedule their final Sprint Reviews and Sprint Retrospective for some time during the day. The final Retrospective should focus on methods for future projects: good things to keep doing, up to three things that would be worth trying, and maybe some problems that you need to watch out for.

Make sure that all team members have a copy (or photo) of the summaries of good/try/problems from all three retrospectives. These summaries often contain useful ideas for each team member's Individual Project Reflection.

What each team's demo should be like

This time, the examiner appoints a designated presenter in advance. Presentations will be in English.

Introduction to the product: what the team is creating. Length: up to 1 minute, with 1 presentation slide.
Sprint summary: what was the sprint goal, did we achieve it, and if we didn't: why not? Length: up to 1 minute, with 1 presentation slide. Why things went wrong (if they did) can be very helpful for future projects.
Favourite method: which of the methods from the Practices and Tools page in Canvas is the team's favourite? You can describe and discuss two favourites (but not more) if the team is divided about the favourite. Length: up to 2 minutes, with 1 presentation slide.
Expo Web-site and poster: show the expo website and poster to the audience. Length: up to 1 minute.
Live demo of the product prototype. Length: 4 minutes, optionally with 1 presentation slide listing user-stories (with the unfinished ones marked clearly). The demo is important - make time for the demo.
Questions from the audience Length: 4 minutes. Keep the demo on-screen while answering questions. Questions and answers are important - make time for them.

The Expo

Instructions for preparation is in Canvas, link: Expo: Instructions for Teams. Attendance is obligatory during the expo, but time reports are not used. Instead, you are all trusted to do what is required.

Cleaning out the rooms

On Friday, 16 May 2025, the rooms must be cleaned. This includes (but is not limited to):

Clearing everything from the tables;
Removing everything you (or I) taped to the walls with yellow tape;
Restoring all tables to their appropriate position (check the images at KTH Places);
Returning yellow tape, scissors and other stuff you borrowed, to me; and
Returning the team's two power extenders (in Swedish: grenuttag) to the teacher's desk in the room (not to me personally).

When a room has been cleaned, I will inspect the room and approve. This can take up to 15 minutes per room. Only after an approved inspection can the teams in the room leave. The whole room is inspected at the same time, so all teams in the room must coordinate their cleaning.
