Let me set the scene: It was around 3 weeks to the launch of our product (Expensive big bang PR launch) and the team are discussing the plan of attack for launch. We’re coming up to the end of our sprint and grooming the backlog so that it is ready for the next sprint, we’re also releasing the product early to a closed group (media/bloggers), so that we can get some early feedback. Apart from a couple of features, our last sprint of work is mostly related to compliance & legal requirements for launch, with the rest being bug fixes & polish.
