Sprint 1 — Monday

Welcome to Sprint 1 Voyagers!

Today starts the first Sprint of your Voyage Project and there’s a lot that needs to get accomplished.

This Sprint is essential to building a solid foundation for the remaining sprints, and the success of your project. Over many Voyages we’ve found that building this foundation helps the Sprints that follow go more smoothly.

Remember that in starting this project you have made a significant commitment to building experience to help you further your career. You will not only increase your knowledge and experience in technical areas, but also in “soft” skills like teamwork and project management.

The technical skills you currently have and those you will gain over the course of your project will contribute to your teams success. But, a larger factor of success is how you and your teammates will communicate and collaborate with one another.

It’s called “Teamwork” for a reason!

1. Take the time to communicate openly, frankly, and with respect to your teammates.
2. Spend time to define not just your project, but also the constraints you need to plan for (like time off for work and family events).
3. Remember the **three “C”s** — commitment, communication, collaboration. These are the essence of teamwork.

Before you Go!
