Sprint 1 Marking Criteria
When marking the project the following scheme will be used as a guide.
Maximum marks for a criterion, eg 5/5, will only be awarded sparingly.
The marks for group-based part of Sprint 1 will be the sum of the individual criteria.
The marking critera of the components of Sprint 1 are:
- The overall quality of the Scope of Work/Epic as a document (/5).
What is being assessed here is not the format, but the clarity, both in the
use of language and as a logical exposition of the work to be done.
| 0 | Absent or totally garbled |
| 1 | The document is: incoherently laid out; has little evidence of proof reading; inconsistent; difficult to use |
| 2 | The document has a little useful content but is seriously deficient on the other criteria |
| 3 | A reasonable standard of presentation but has many small defects or content is imprecise or inconsistent |
| 4 | Very few errors in presentation |
| 5 | Remarkable job. Has high clarity and appeal |
- Acceptance Tests (/4)
| 0 | Absent or meaningless |
| 1 | A rudimentary set of tests which do not appear to challenge even a basic set of requirements |
| 2 | A reasonable set of tests but with some shortcomings in scope or presentation |
| 3 | A clearly defined set of tests which appear useful |
| 4 | A comprehensive set of tests which are perfectly specified and exercise all the use cases corresponding to the top $70 (70%) of value |
- Skills and Resources Audit (/4)
| 0 | No skills audit |
| 1 | Just a token effort |
| 2 | Rudimentary, but some evidence of thought |
| 3 | Solid audit of what the Team has versus what will be required for the project |
| 4 | The Team has really thought of everything |
- Risks Register (/4)
| 0 | No risk register |
| 1 | Just a token effort |
| 2 | Rudimentary, but some evidence of thought |
| 3 | Solid audit of the risks the project may face and what the Team will do to mitigate those risks |
| 4 | The Team has really thought of everything |
- Coherence and reasonablenesss of the set of Sprint 2 stories (i.e. intermediate goals) (/5)
| 0 | No plan |
| 1 | Incoherent set of stories/goals that bear little relationship to desired final outomes |
| 2 | Sprint 2 stories/goals bear some relationship to final outcome |
| 3 | Sprint 2 stories/goals clearly heading to final outcome, but something missing, e.g. they are either too close (essentially just final goal recapitulated), or too unambitious, leaving far too much for the final Sprint |
| 4 | A solid set of stories/goals, with appropriate phasing, but something missing |
| 5 | An extremely solid plan |
