February 💘

It is the start of February and once more, we are in the amazing sbarc|spark in Cardiff.

We used this session to understand the ordering of content (from the audit we conducted). This allowed us to agree what we would load up onto the site first, and to agree future plans in more detail, including our initial beta sprint.

It was agreed that for our initial beta sprint we would focus on the “Our work” and “Help and advice” area of the new site. Content will be copied across, categorised, tagged, teaser intros made, and 3 projects will be created in the “Our work” area. We aim to get this complete ready for beta testing in early March. The beta testing session will allow us to get a feedback loop from our users, ensuring we can then improve other areas of the site (that come in a later sprint).

As always, at the start of a sprint we agreed our sprint goals. These are:

**🎯 Sprint goal

Prepare "Help and advice" and "Our work" area for beta testing with users**

Duration 4 weeks - 6 Feb to 3 March

Plan showing beta stage, split into 3 sprints of roughly 4 weeks each
