How does a sprint work at Younify?
Submitting tasks
The Product Owner prepares the tasks needed to reach your goals.
Pre-refinement
Together we go through the tasks, so they’re clear and complete.
Refinement and story points
Our development team discusses each task and estimates the effort in story points.
Sprint planning
The Product Owner and our team lead choose the tasks for the sprint, within your priorities and budget.
Build and release
We build the tasks within the sprint. Afterwards, they go straight to the live environment.
Demo and retrospective
We show the result and look back together: what went well, what can be better?
The Product Owner at the centre
A strong Product Owner (PO) is the key to a successful project. The PO represents your interests, sets priorities and makes sure development matches your goals.
We advise all our clients to appoint a PO. Don’t have one in-house? Then we can fill that role for you.
Your budget, your choices
Every service client has a fixed number of story points per sprint. Together with our team lead, the PO decides which tasks go into the next sprint, based on your priorities and budget.
That way you always stay in control of what gets built and can keep adjusting your development budget, without unexpected costs afterwards.
What you can expect from us
Full transparency on costs
At the start of every month you know exactly what you get for your invoice. If a task turns out more complex than expected, we don’t charge extra hours: what was agreed is delivered for the agreed price.
Guaranteed delivery
We plan enough capacity for every sprint and finish the agreed tasks within the same sprint. After the sprint, the work goes live straight away, so you see results quickly.
Continuous improvement
We close every sprint with a demo and a retrospective. That way we check the result and grow as a team and as a partnership, sprint after sprint.
How long is a sprint at Younify?
A sprint lasts three weeks. After every sprint, the delivered work goes live, followed by a demo and a retrospective.
What is a story point?
A story point is a measure of the effort a task takes. Our development team estimates every task in story points during refinement.
Do I need my own Product Owner?
We advise appointing a Product Owner who represents your interests. If you don’t have one in-house, we can fill that role for you.
Do I pay extra if a task turns out more complex than expected?
No. We don’t charge extra hours. A task is delivered as the Product Owner described it, for the agreed price.
When does delivered work go live?
Straight after the end of the sprint in which it was built.
Curious what working together looks like?
Predictable, transparent and in fixed sprints, at up to 30% lower cost.
