Description
In your report, you will complete two designs from the Fold’NFly website. You need to select a “Hard” or “Expert” design. You will create the three models of the first design using a Scrum approach. For the second design, you will use the Kanban approach. Your report should be submitted as a Word (.docx) or PDF document with screenshots from Trello and Excel. Other document formats will not be accepted. Clearly indicate each report section (i.e.: design 1, design 2, retrospective) and subsections. You may use other software, but make sure you properly identify and reference the software used. As a report the document should contain an introduction, discussion and conclusion/retrospective section as well as references.
DESIGN 1 USING THE SCRUM APPROACH
Provide the name of the design (as titled on the Fold’NFly website) that is being created
Write all user stories needed to build the three paper airplane models of design 1
Provide a figure (image) of the product backlog (Trello is recommended)
Provide Sprint lists (likely 3-5 user stories) with a total time estimate. Assume all are of equal priority.
Provide a burndown chart, with associated data tables, for each sprint using appropriate time steps
State time steps in fractions of an hour (not days)
Estimate how long it will take you to complete a sprint
Indicate your expected burndown velocity
At the midpoint of your estimate, re-evaluate your estimated completion time
Provide pictures of your three finished airplane models with a ruler for scale
Of the three airplane models which you tested, provide a table of performance for distance and time aloft.
DESIGN 2 USING THE KANBAN APPROACH
Provide the name of the design (as titled on the Fold’N’Fly website) that is being created
Write all user stories needed to build the three paper airplane models of design
Provide a figure (image) of the product backlog (Trello is recommended)
Create a Kanban board for all three models of this design in Trello using the following queues: In-Progress, Testing, Completed.
Provide a figure of your initial Kanban board with limits in the title of each queue where appropriate
Provide a figure of the mid-completion Kanban board and the final Kanban board
Provide pictures of your three finished airplane models with a ruler for scale
Of the three airplane models which you tested, provide a table of performance for distance and time aloft.
RETROSPECTIVE SECTION
Of the two approaches, which did you prefer for creating the airplane models and why?
If you were applying these approaches to a larger, more complex project, what would be your key insights?
Burndown Chart Resources
For more information about how to create a burndown chart, please review How to Create a Burndown Chart in Excel from Scratch. This is far more complex that we need for this project, but gives an idea of how to create a chart in Excel for a larger project. Here is a much simplified Excel spreadsheet that can be used for this project -. It is based on time rather than story points. Keep track of how long it actually takes to complete the tasks – Be honest!
Note: you may choose to create your burndown chart using other software or approaches.

Project 2: Applying Agile with
Airplanes
Description
Yes, that’s correct. For this project, we’ll be building paper airplanes. You may be
thinking, what’s that got to do with IT management in businesses? Here, the objective
is to examine the application of Scrum and Kanban to a simple problem. While the
problem of building a paper airplane may be simple, the real task is to demonstrate
your understanding of these two Agile approaches.
Getting Started
To demonstrate a Kanban approach, I have created an example Kanban board with a
Backlog, To-Do, In-Progress and Complete Queue. You may use this Kanban board
format to create your own board. Note: the WIP Limit of 3 is only an example and
can vary.
My Kanban Board for Creating Project 2
Backlog User Stories
As an Instructor, I would like students to review
the readings and videos in this module, so that they
are familiar with the topics of the project.
As a Project Designer, I would like the students to
go to the Fold’NFly website because they have
many great airplane designs
ToDo
InProgress
WIP
Limit: 3
Complete
As an Instructor, I would like the Difficulty
selected ‘Hard’ and ‘Expert’ so that they are
somewhat challenging to create
As a Student, select for Type, select ‘Distance’,
‘Time Aloft’ and ‘Acrobatic’, so that the planes can
be fun to fly
As an Instructor, I would like the students to select
two (2) designs from those shown on the website
so that there is some variety in design for the
different tools
Select three (3) types of paper
As an Airplane Experimentalist, I would like to
select three (3) types of paper so that differences in
performance can be observed.
As a Student, Construct and Test Design 1 with
each of the three types of paper using the Scrum
method, so that this method can be experimented
with.
As a Student , Construct and Test Design 2 with
each of the three types of paper using the Kanban
method, so that this method can be experimented
with.
As a Student, I want to submit a concise well
written report so that the instructor has something
to grade, so that I can get a good mark.
As an Instructor, I want the student to do a
retrospective so they can reflect on what they have
experienced, so that they can identify their
insights.
As an Instructor, I want the student to Post their
best performing plane in the Discussion forum so
that everyone can see what they did.
