Project Management Lunch & Learn: 2/23

If you missed the first session on Agile projects, that is OK. You can join for the next session tomorrow (2/23) at 12:00 in MG1.

To get you up to speed, we created the product data sheet, elevator test statement and the product vision box for a digital signage project we are simulating. You can get an idea of the project by looking at the product data sheet. Hope to see you at the meeting where we will talk about user stories and assigning story points. If you ever wanted to use the Fibonacci scale, here is your chance!
