This is a Collaborative Learning Community $($CLC$)$ assignment.

In Jira: stories, bugs, and tasks describe a single piece of work, while epics are used to describe a group of issues that all relate to the same, larger body of work. Epics are typically completed over several sprints or a longer timeframe if you do not use sprints.

For this assignment, you will use the team's release plan to plan the first sprint for your project. Sprints are short intervals $($usually $1-4$ weeks in length, with $2$ weeks being most common$)$ in which the team works to complete a selected list of features related to a specific release. For example, in the scenario where your team is building a software product to streamline employee's job tasks, the project was broken into three distinct phases during release planning. Sprint planning will further subdivide a release into multiple intervals $($sprints$)$ to get all the features required for a release completed within in a specified timeframe. The team's Scrum Master plays an integral role in managing a team's sprint. For the purposes of this course, your team will engage in three one$-$week sprints.
