Sprint 4 kickoff

This is the last build sprint. The goal is a site you can present with confidence, not a site with more features.

Your two priorities

Before you open VS Code, your team states two things out loud: "We need to fix ___ and finish ___."

If you're tempted to add a feature that isn't on your must-have list: don't. Every new feature added today is a risk to something that already works.

What "done" looks like

  • All must-have features work
  • No broken links or console errors
  • The home page clearly communicates what the site is for

Check these three things before you stop building.

Feature freeze at noon

Morning is build time. After lunch, stop writing code and start preparing your pitch. A site you can explain clearly is more compelling than a site that does more things you can't describe.

Demo Day format

Five minutes per team: 1 minute on the problem, 3 minutes of live demo, 1 minute on what the team learned. Every team member speaks. Plan the click sequence for your demo now so there are no surprises tomorrow.
