Everything with the house is perfect except for the backyard; it seems like nobody has tended to it for the past many months and it is a mess. You plan to fix this yourself and turn your backyard into a beautiful garden. You could only attend to this project on weekends. That too, depends upon your available bandwidth after tending to other higher priority tasks. You have a reasonable idea what the end product should look like, but you don’t know the specifics. Further, since you cannot schedule time for this project and as this needs to be developed in your spare time, you think an Agile approach to this project will benefit the cause.  \nIn this exercise, you will setup your product backlog and identify high-level epics required. However, prior to moving on to the next page and starting to identify the epics, we recommend you speak to your family about this project and collect their requirements as well.  \n(Please note that since this is a learning exercise, select relatively simple epics and keep the documentation brief) .  \n[Project Name]  \nProduct Backlog  \nNote: You might want to use the provided Excel spreadsheet to document the following columns in the Epics tab. Alternately, you can use the template below to capture your project epics.  \nPlease note that since this is a learning exercise, document no more than 10 epics and keep the descriptions brief.  \n\n| Epic ID | Title | High Level Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| [EP-01] | [Lay Lawn Turf] | [The family wants to have a nice lawn so that kids can play with the dog in the backyard.] |\n| [EP-02] | [Install Fountain] | [I want an artistic fountain installed in front of the backyard wall so that I get a nice view and can relax in the garden with family and friends.] |\n| [EP-03] | [Establish\u003Cbr>Entertainment Area] | [I want to establish an entertainment area where I can invite my friends and throw BBQ parties.] |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |","cbCaijQi98QR2ZoN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijQi98QR2ZoN","pdf",171340,"English","# Activity A: Prepare the Product Backlog\n## Background and purpose\n## Steps to set up the backlog\n## Epic template and example epics","[{\"question\":\"What should be done before identifying the epics in the product backlog?\",\"answer\":\"Speak to the family about the project and collect their requirements before moving on to identify the epics.\"},{\"question\":\"How should epics be documented in this exercise?\",\"answer\":\"Use the provided Excel spreadsheet columns in the Epics tab, or use the provided template to capture Epic ID, Title, and High Level Description.\"},{\"question\":\"What limits apply to the epics in this learning exercise?\",\"answer\":\"Select relatively simple epics, document no more than 10 epics, and keep each description brief.\"}]","Agile Activity 1 - Prepare the Product Backlog | PDF",1789188284]
