  1. Detailing your features for your second client meeting What to put on your Google Group for them to review!

  2. A. Verify the features you’ll do • I’ll send a list of who signed up for what – by adding the names onto the non-duplicating features. • Assume you got it right, in the meantime! • For each of your team’s features: • Review at all the “duplicates” to be sure you captured all the meaning. • Be sure to include/determine urgency and criticality.

  3. B. Add “surrounding” info to each feature • In a sentence or two, write what the feature means to you. Paraphrase it! • In a special comment, note what other features are closely related to this one. • Add to that note what other teams are working on those features! • Add a comment about how the feature relates to the surrounding environment. Like, what does it accomplish, as part of a big picture.

  4. C. Divide your features into smaller features • This applies to the big ones, like, • “Student explores existing concepts and adds internship experiences.” Or, • “Student pre-registers for classes.” • Try to identify components, as “sub-features.” • Could be pieces that add up to the whole thing. • Could be varying situations or alternatives.

  5. E. Create a “user story” about each feature, or about the key part of it • Do this for the main flow of the 5 most important features you are doing! • Call this line of description “User story” to make it clear. • Make it read like this: • "As a <role>, I want <goal/desire> so that <benefit>“ • Like, “As a user closing the application, I want to be prompted to save if I have made any change in my data since the last save.” • See website http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/topics/user-stories for additional information.

  6. F. Do a storyboard and include it • Pick the MOST important feature you are doing. • Pick the MOST important flow that occurs in that feature. • Draw pictures showing a sequence of events for that. Scan them in, if done by hand. • Describe at least a sentence for each one. • Be sure to identify where it fits in with your feature, like referring from the feature to this figure.

  7. G. If possible, get your PM’s advice • You’ll also be talking with them about HW 2, but • Your Milestone 1 isn’t due to them till Friday. • It can be missing a few things, but it should be close enough that they can provide detailed advice.

  8. H. Post features in your Google Group • Make sure it’s a public document. • Call it “Team<team name>Features.docx” (or some other file type your client could edit). • Post there 24 hours ahead of your client meeting. • I’ll notify your clients to go look on the Google Groups. • Whew! That’s it. • Note – this also can all become a part of your Milestone 1. The features are a good part of that.
