We recently had a "Take Our Kids to Work Day" at iPipeline Canada. This is a day where children of our employees that are in grade 9 accompany their parents to their workplace to experience the environment. As part of this we quickly exposed them to what it is like to work on an Agile team.
To support this agile concept we needed a product. Our product was creating a new super-hero. This super-hero would be defined by the team within the sprint and would need approval from our "product owner."
Prior to the kids arriving we had developed user stories and prepared our scrum board. Example stories included:
- As a super-hero I need a skin colour to be identifiable
- As a super-hero I need a hair colour to be identifiable
- As a product owner I need a social media presence so that I can market our upcoming super-hero
We quickly went through a video of Scrum concepts and assigned roles to the team; Scrum Master and Product Owner were employees. From there we quickly did sprint-planning, did some work, had a stand-up, did some more work, had a demo and a retrospective. All of this was in 30 minutes.
This project was quickly developed (about 3 hours) to support the "social media presence" user story. The "model/hero.js" file is used to generate a JSON representation that is reflected on the root page.
As you modify the hero.js file the page will automatically reload and display all of the changes that you have made.
Note: This only currently works in Chrome, it did not work in Edge or Firefox.
After running npm install all you need to run is npm start
