1. Overview
The Student Information System (SIS) is a simulated Agile project run over a full academic semester: a 4-person Scrum team designed and built a web-based class registration platform for Administrators, Professors, and Students — user management, course catalog management, class roll and grading, and course enrollment — delivered across three two-week sprints on the PERN stack (Postgres, Express, React, Node).
My role was Tester: developing test strategies, test plans, and test cases; running system tests each sprint; reporting bugs; and verifying delivered features against acceptance criteria. I also contributed directly to frontend implementation — login, student portal, and transcript view functionality.
2. Agile Process
The team ran full Scrum ceremonies across Sprint 0 (technical spike) and three delivery sprints, with a defined role for every team member and a release plan that adjusted as scope was learned.
Sprint Planning
Each sprint opened with backlog review, story-point estimation, DONE-criteria definition, and a top-5 risk identification — committing the team to a realistic, sized scope before work began.
Standups & Backlog Refinement
Three standups a week tracked progress and surfaced blockers in real time; dedicated refinement sessions kept the backlog prioritized as the Product Manager added and reprioritized user stories.
Sprint Review & Retrospective
Each sprint closed with a live product demo against sprint goals, stakeholder feedback captured directly into the backlog, and a start/stop/keep retrospective to improve the next sprint.
Release Planning
The release plan was revised twice mid-project as scope and velocity became clearer — a realistic look at how Agile plans adapt under real schedule and workload pressure, tracked with burndown charts in Jira.
