The decision made was to apply for Level One Arboretum Status. This was tentatively approved subject to signs being created for, and placed in front of, each of the tree species identified. Forty-eight aluminum signs were placed. Each sign contains the Latin name and common name for each tree, an Anderson Township logo, a Heritage Center Arboretum logo, a QR code people can click on to read more information regarding that tree species, and a number so people can look up on the map where each tree is located.
One of the tree committee members also created a high-resolution map of the site showing exactly where each tree is, the buildings, drives, parking, and patio, and the elevation changes. This map will be available on-line, posted at the arboretum, and in a hallway of the government center.
Given the information in the first two chapters and here, it is time to create a charter for the project going forward.
Student Questions:
1. Create a vision statement for this project. Write it so the charter would be for one more year of work with an eye toward on-going maintenance of the arboretum after that.
In addition, write the statement to consider potential (but not yet approved) future development work after the first year.
2. Create a product roadmap showing two releases for the first year and other potential work that might be performed in future releases.
3. If you were the scrum master, what expertise would you want in your sponsor, product owner (PO), and core team members to help create a definition of done for the first milestone?
4. Brainstorm risks. Prioritize them. Develop at least one avoidance or mitigation response for each big risk.
5. Who are the key stakeholders and what does each one want? Which ones have the most power?
