You will work in a team and go through real development processes: discussing a product, defining an MVP, running sprint planning, daily standups, writing code, doing reviews, and completing a retrospective. +To participate effectively, you must review key concepts from the Foundation module and study several additional topics that we will actively use during the session. + +## Part 1. Review key topics from [the Foundation module](../../../courses/foundation/intro-to-agile/week1/preparation.md) + +Before the session, make sure you remember the following concepts: + +- Agile Manifesto and core Agile values +- Differences between Waterfall and Agile +- Scrum framework: roles, events, artifacts +- What a Sprint is and what an Increment means +- How Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog work + +## Part 2. Key concepts to study in more depth + +### MVP (Minimum Viable Product) + +#### What you need to know + +- MVP is the smallest version of a product that delivers real value to the user. +- It is not a “cut-down” product. It is the fastest path to testing a hypothesis. +- MVP does not need full polish, but it must work and allow learning through feedback. + +![Making sense of MVP](session-materials/Making-sense-of-MVP.jpg) + +> **Simple example** +> +> Imagine building a recipe web app. +> +> A full version might include: +> +> - advanced search +> - shopping lists +> - user profiles +> - photos + video instructions +> - comments +> - recommendations +> - nutrition data +> +> But an MVP could be: +> +> - a list of recipes, +> - step-by-step instructions, +> - one image per recipe. +> +> A user can already cook a dish. +> Value is delivered — the product is validated. + +### Sprint & Planning + +#### Sprint + +A short, fixed period (usually 1–2 weeks) where the team focuses on delivering a specific, working increment of the product. + +#### Sprint Goal + +A clear answer to: +What valuable outcome do we want to deliver by the end of this sprint? + +> Example: +> +> "The user should be able to add tasks to a list." + +#### Sprint Planning + +Planning consists of three core parts: + +1. Define the Sprint Goal. +2. Select the tasks that support that goal. +3.

It protects the team, the product, and the development flow. + +## Key idea + +This module simulates real teamwork in a real development cycle. +Preparation is needed so we spend the session building, planning, syncing, and reviewing — not learning the theory. diff --git a/shared-modules/agile-teamwork/week1/session-materials/Making-sense-of-MVP.jpg b/shared-modules/agile-teamwork/week1/session-materials/Making-sense-of-MVP.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..2bb57306 Binary files /dev/null and b/shared-modules/agile-teamwork/week1/session-materials/Making-sense-of-MVP.jpg differ
