Day 14

Today started with sprint planning, we still had a nice backlog for our project so for us we just assigned story points to our backlog and added them to the sprint. The beginning was easy as we were adding new features that did not conflict with our completed stories. When we hit the famous attachment story about Power of Attorney documents, then our team decided to revisit the attachment module and make sure we would be able to support attachments over 100MB. This was taken on as a big story and it pretty much concluded our last sprint for us. 
Our last sprint :(

At 11 o'clock we had code review, where our code was deemed good, but we should make use of Linq more in our queries and iterations. This is somewhat easier than our Java team, where their code had to be more readable than this blog.

With our new tasks in hand we assigned them and everyone was busy working on their problems until the internet connection was gone from the whole house. As this happened half past 4 already most people decided to call it a day and head home. We on the other hand had our paintball activity event planned and it would be easier to leave as a group from our offices. So we waited out the internet issue, that only took about 25 minutes.

About 30 minutes before we were to leave for the event Oliver came into our room asking "Have you seen the weather?". We were caught by surprise as we had no windows in our room, "It's pouring rain outside!" Oliver explained. We still decided to give our group activity a shot, maybe it wouldn't rain there.

So yeah, it rained there. We rescheduled the team event for Tuesday and currently we are praying for good weather.
