Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use JIRA to run our project, how to create a Sprint, and how to bring refined backlog items in so that we can use a ready Sprint that meets the definition of ready. We determined how big the right size for a Sprint commitment is using yesterday's weather. We also learned how to start a Sprint, how to use JIRA during a daily Scrum and throughout the Sprint, and we looked at burndowns and board views to do that.

We talked about how to best help the Sprint succeed using JIRA as a tool, different concepts to structure work so that our team is most effective as they're moving through the Sprint in the board view, either through subtasks or smaller stories, and then finally we learned how to complete a Sprint.

In the next chapter, we're going to talk about reporting.
