Describe the project in detail.

the project (MVP) consisted of 3 months - divided into 2 weeks sprints.

As the cooperation on our side was based on 3 working parts (our local team, Mindcraft and a 3rd provider responsible for the frontend and integration) we decided initially to work in parallel and have team specific sprint- and status-meetings.

As soon as the components came close to full integration we decided to combine the meetings and integrate the development efforts.
