Sprint Backlog

All work undertaken is captured into stories, and these are grouped into sprints. A sprint is made up of around eighty hours of work, at which point we close it and make a new release. Each sprint is organised around a sprint mission, which is made up of one or two themes. The sprint we are currently working on is called the active sprint. All other non-active sprints are read-only archives of past activity.

We group sprints by version. Each version has a version mission. The version mission is the overall objective for that particular group of sprints. We close a version when that objective has been achieved. The version we are currently working on is called the active version. The version is encoded into CMake as the major version (i.e. CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR and the sprint as the minor version (i.e. CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION). For example, the following CMAKE_VERSION 0.1.0 is version 0 for sprint 1.
