Agile Development

I need steps to complete this assignment:

The Sprints for your organization run for 21 days but the default Sprint duration in the system is 14. Update the default Sprint duration in the system to reflect your company's standards.

Once you have updated the duration create a new Agile group named HRBP with a capacity of 45. Create a new sprint with this group and confirm the updated default sprint duration is 21.

I assume this is an assignment from a course you're doing?

Please explain which step you're having trouble with and someone will be able to help you.

So you want to know how to change the default sprint duration and how to create a new Agile group?

I don't know what course you're doing but surely those were two key concepts that would have been explained?

And the exercise is an opportunity to put your learning into practice.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions if you're stuck. But I don't see the point of asking the Community to simply complete your assignment for you.

Let us know exactly where you're stuck, so we can help you, and that way it becomes a learning exercise.

Just my opinion.

This is a micro certification so there are no helpful hints or lessons.

I am also taking the Agile Development 2.0 Simulator Micro Certification course and am having the same issue. I am not seeing any training materials to reference at all. If I find anything, I'll let you know, yet wanted to share that you are not alone. 😔

Hey Simon, I too am taking this micro certification course, Agile Development 2.0 Simulator Micro Certification, and there are no training materials included in how to set up sprints or anything else. I have even reference the Agile Development 2.0 Fundamentals course information I previously completed and still details are not shared there either. Additionally, the course did not state any pre-requisites, so to assume members are just trying to 'complete the course' without putting forth the effort to learn is erroneously presumptive.

Please add the user system administrator to the Agile group and then try. You should get an option to create sprint in the related links.

Step 1: Update Default Sprint Duration

Navigate to the System Properties in your Agile tool (e.g., ServiceNow or Jira).
Search for the property controlling sprint duration. For ServiceNow, locate: com.snc.sdlc.scrum.pp.default_sprint_length.
Change its value from 14 to 21 to reflect the new default sprint duration.
Save the changes and ensure they are applied across all relevant boards or plans.

Step 2: Create a New Agile Group

Go to the Agile Groups or Teams section in your tool.
Click on Create New Group/Team.
Name the group as HRBP.
Set the Capacity of the group to 45.
Save the group configuration.

Step 3: Create a New Sprint ( Add the user to the agile group)

Navigate to the Sprints or Iterations section.
Select the newly created group (HRBP) as the associated team.
Create a new sprint and ensure its duration is set to 21 days. The system should automatically apply this based on the updated default duration.
Save and confirm that the sprint reflects the correct duration.
