The Many Faces of Jack Sparrow was a retrospective activity adapted from an exercise created by another team project manager to help talk members through how they felt about an upcoming project. This activity was quite fun, and based on Johnny Depp’s famous “Pirates of the Caribbean” character “ Captain Jack Sparrow”. One of things we have been working on is developing unique agile retrospective activities.
Development Services is responsible for developing software applications that support the learning, teaching, and research mission of the university. Our agile team was formed in the past year to tackle the renewal of applications in our identity and access-management environment.
