Sprint Grading Rubric

Posted on 2 mins read

This page contains the rubrics that the TA will use to evaluate team performance for each sprint. Sprint grades are not based on how much functionality you completed but rather how well your team is following some software engineering practices. (Yes, product quality and functionality will matter when it comes to final project grading, but the purpose of your project is also to learn and use good software development practices.)

Sprint 1

  1. Issues have been created that capture work being and to be done
  2. Issues have a Fibonacci story point value in their title
  3. Sprint milestones have been created
  4. Wiki home page, user story page, project overview page, and sprints page have been created
  5. Initial working product has been demonstrated.

Intermediate sprints

  1. Issues have been assigned to the sprint milestone by day 3 of sprint
  2. Sprint wiki page has been updated by day 3 with completion of prior sprint info and initial current sprint info
  3. Sprint issues have been assigned to team members
  4. Work is being done on development branches, not on main; pull requests are being used to merge. (beginning late in sprint 2)
  5. Commits have issue numbers in their description, with hashtags
  6. Issues have a Fibonacci story point value in their title
  7. All team members have contributed some code
  8. All team members have contributed some documentation
  9. Increment of working product has been demonstrated

Final sprint

  1. All of the points for intermediate sprints apply to the final sprint
  2. Final product has been demonstrated
  3. A “Status” note has been added to each user story on the user stories page, stating the level of completion of that user story
  4. A “Status” note has been added to the software design page stating how well the final product follows the described design
  5. Wiki pages are all updated to be in the final documentation state
  6. All issues that have been completed are closed
  7. All issues that have not been completed are left open and have a comment added that documents their status
  8. Final product is based on the main branch in the Git repository
