Epic level planning and estimating
- inputs from team complete
Methodology
- epics/stories/tasks
- estimates are done at story-level
- if a story is > 8pts, it is converted to an epic
- need to add field in jira for story-points in 'tasks'
- it will take more time (6 weeks?) to hone in on accurate velocity
Scheduling
- not all short-term stories have yet been created
- approaches
  1. start working, and back-fill jira work (planning)
  2. do not start iteration until jira work for iteration is complete
- suggestion
  1. get jiras populated for work in next two weeks out
  2. we come to next week's meeting with stories to review
- need basic agreements: java6? scm? appserver?
- define what each team member is planning on working on in short-term
- discussed jira DFR-63 as an example
  - - story-points 2?
    - Bill 3pts
    - Chris 2pts
- Brad and I to put story points against security tasks
- Dan and Chris to look at Object Creation Service
Box account
- monthly ?$
- yearly $400
- will create an account as soon as we are ready to use it
