Describe what is a Spike and Zero sprint in Agile? What are their goals?  

Answer»

Sprint Zero is the iteration where the team get prepared for the project execution.  

Sprint Zero is used for the following REASONS. 

  1. Collecting servers or hardware resources for the project 
  2. Constructing the team 
  3. Elaborating the primary backlog items 
  4. Creating Application Architecture design 

A Spike is a TASK aimed at clarifying a question or collecting information, rather than at designing a shippable product. A spike is created to handle the task further after collecting relevant information and hence it can be estimated correctly. 

Spikes are time-boxed ACTIVITIES that have precise goals and desired RESULTS. This technique enables delivery teams to determine how to deliver a working product efficiently. 

Spikes can be of three types: 

  • Functional: Inspects story by DECOMPOSING it and identifies risks 
  • Technical: Defines the impact of a story or task to understand the technical necessary design. 
  • Exploratory: Explores organizational impacts for a particular story.
