pg. 2 Why does Guidewire timebox Inception?Guidewire timeboxes inception to avoid collecting excessive details.Name three best practices from Inception.Utilize an agile methodology, map business case to the themes /subthemes, estimate stories using points, introduce base product features and functionality, document key requirements on story cards, avoid deep discussions about detailed requirements, manage time judiciously, assess product alignment for each user story, create new story cards for gap stories, define a delivery backlog at the end of inception, assess business value to help prioritize the Delivery backlog.How do we estimate stories? When is this activity done?Points. At the start of the project and also validated during each sprint.How and when do we estimate tasks?Hours. Only in the current sprint as part of sprint planning.What is the reason we use points when estimating?People are better at estimating relative sizes, not the detailed hours. There is little value in estimating at this granularity until you are ready to do the work.Why is team capacity so important?Allows you to know what the team can accomplish during the sprint.What is the maximum size recommended for any story? Why?13 points (although 8 is even better). It's the largest story that most teams can complete in a 4 week sprint.What are the five steps completed during sprint planning?
- Determine team capacity
- Define sprint backlog
- Validate estimate for each user story
- Define tasks for each user story in the sprint
- Add new user stories and tasks as needed
-Assign a resource to each task -Estimate each task
Which criteria are used to prioritize the backlog? 2 / 4
