| What do you mean by Sprint 0 and Spike in Scrum?
When we say about the Sprint 0, this will refers to the small amoiunt of effort which will put in to create a basic or rough skelton of product backlog. This will also inlcudes insights towards estimating the release of products. Sprint 0 is required for:
- Creating the project skeleton, along with research spikes
- Keeping minimal design
- Developing some stories completely
- Having low velocity and being lightweight
On the other hand spike is mainly a a set of activities that involve Extreme Programming (XP) for design, investigation, research, creating POCs etc.
And the main aims of spike is to reduce the risks of the technical approach, helping gain knowledge to better understand requirements and improve reliability. | | |
