Hold Retrospective, Update Charter

BTM-8 Order: #8 Construction Has Dependencies

Updated 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Guidance

Objective

Close the first shipped iteration, test the assumptions in Charter v0 against observed evidence, and publish an approved Charter v1.

Required inputs

  • docs/project/CHARTER.md at v0.
  • The first iteration goal, manifest, release evidence, and Definition-of-Done result.
  • The latest Iteration Assessment Report and all open Risk/Problem tickets.
  • Any Iteration Improvement Proposals (IIPs).
  • Participants from the Charter Team Roster.

Procedure

  1. Create docs/project/retros/BOOTSTRAP_RETRO.md.
  2. Record what was expected, what happened, evidence, and consequences. Separate facts from opinions.
  3. Review every Charter section:
    - goals and success measures;
    - roster, authority, and ownership;
    - team maturity classification and its evidence;
    - tracked-variable measurement contracts and thresholds;
    - required-artifact coverage;
    - meeting cadence;
    - aspirational roadmap.
  4. Review each IIP. Record accepted, rejected, or deferred, with owner and reason.
  5. Update docs/project/CHARTER.md to v1. Add a dated change log; never silently overwrite v0 assumptions.
  6. Obtain explicit sponsor/Delivery Manager approval.

Completion evidence

  • Bootstrap retrospective exists and cites iteration evidence.
  • Charter says Version: 1, contains the dated diff, and has no undefined variable source, threshold, owner, or gating policy.
  • Every IIP and open Risk/Problem ticket has a disposition or named owner.
  • Approval is recorded. Do not declare Bootstrap complete without it.
