Validating a Sprint – Part 3
Developing and Testing Product Backlog Item’s
The developers should work with the Product Owner on validating the features developed as soon as they’re done. The Scrum Team should think of collaborating together to achieve the Sprint Goal and to meet the Definition of Done instead of rushing to a deadline.
A good practice would be to have an internal run-through of the Product Backlog Items in the Sprint Backlog. This would serve as preparation for the Sprint Review, as well as a venue for the Product Owner to validate the acceptance criteria for each Product Backlog Item.
Usability Testing
A great way to validate the product is to conduct usability testing. Usually held in a testing lab set up by the development team, usability testing allows target users to interact with a low fidelity paper prototype or a working software that represents the product. The tester navigates their way around the product on their own without the development team explaining the features. The raw reactions of the user are vital inputs to the product and are representative of how the general public would also receive the product when it’s released.
