# Notes regarding our Agile approach
1. Agile methodologies emphasize adaptability; this plan should remain flexible to accommodate changes in scope or priorities.
2. Each sprint focuses on a major functionality or Epic, ensuring comprehensive development and testing.
3. The Product Owner's role in backlog grooming and sprint planning becomes even more vital with the more focused sprints.
4. Sprint Retrospectives and Planning: Regular retrospectives are important for continuous improvement. Sprint planning sessions should prioritize features based on business value and dependencies.
5. The UI/UX designer collaborates continuously to align the design with functional developments.
6. Documentation and Knowledge Transfer: Continuous documentation of development processes and features is crucial for long-term project sustainability.
7. Stakeholder Engagement: Involve stakeholders in sprint reviews to gather feedback and align on expectations.
8. Technical Debt Management: Allocate time within sprints to address technical debt and ensure code maintainability.
9. Flexibility and Adaptability: The plan should remain adaptable to changing requirements or unforeseen challenges. The team should be prepared to pivot or reprioritize as needed.

This sprint plan aims to balance the development of complex functionalities with the team's capacity, ensuring a systematic and quality-focused approach to building the Manufacturing module of the ERP system. Regular assessments and adjustments based on team velocity and stakeholder feedback will be key to the project's success.
