What is this Sprint aiming to achieve?

It’s time to actualise your designs into life. In Sprint 2, you’ll be building an MVP of your microservice/API. The learning outcomes of this Sprint can be broken down into three major pillars:

  1. Iterating on the Design. You’ll have received feedback about your design from Sprint 1 - you will need to iterate and improve. You’ll also need to start going deeper into the detailed design by completing a data model for your application.

  2. Building an MVP. Fast, good, cheap. Pick two. You only have two weeks to build the service. Start simple and build outwards, like a balloon. Get a basic “hello world” API working and deploy that. Then add in more functionality and keep iterating on your MVP.

  3. Mastering the Craft. Software Engineering is about so much more than just coding - writing clean code, testing, deploying, documenting and working as an Agile team. You’ll be building your skills in these areas that will help you in future Sprints and beyond.

Perfect is the enemy of good (smile). Pick the most important things and prioritise them!
