Question $1$

Imagine you are the leader of a software development team that consists of $10$

developers, and your client the Minister and CEO of the Department for

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs $($DEFRA$)$ of the UK has engaged your team

to develop a software application to help people to manage their footprint to

reduce carbon emissions when they travel locally, domestically, and

internationally $($e$.$g$.$ walking, cycling, car, bus, ferry, plane$)$ in regard to the UK

Climate Change Strategy $2021-2024.$ The Minister and CEO are a little unsure of

the exact nature of the application, but they do know they need an initial release in

one month $($or earlier if possible$).$ You let them know that your team follows an

Agile design and planning process and that you will explore the domain and

express your recommended concept via a report.

Part A: Please write a report, which should:

Outline the personas considered $($at least $5),$ and explain why you decided

to focus on one of the personas for this first release. Please use the same

format used in class:

a$)$ For the brief personas $($name $+$ role $+$ picture$)$

b$)$ For the chosen persona $($name $+$ role $+$ picture $+$ quote $+$ relevant

biography$)$

Cover the stories you generated for the chosen persona $($at least $10).$ Hint:

you should use the same format used in class for each user story: a title,

number, acceptance criteria, and an estimate of story points $($also include

best and worst case$).$

Cover the release plan, including the goal of each time$-$box and what

stories will be delivered in that time$-$box. Your release plan must include $4$

x $1$ week time$-$box sprints and must include at least one release to the

public. Please also include your rationale for deciding the team's capacity

for each sprint, and why you think that this release plan makes the most

sense for the client. Burn down charts should be included for each sprint

and design UI prototypes $($e$.$g$.$ paper and or digital$).$
