Inventory Sheet
Collection of fine grained tasksEstimates in PomodorosMultiple User Stories
Repository for new and unexpected tasksOrder defines priority
Tasks categorized by @tags
![Page 13: You Say Tomato I Say Pomodoro](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/54437d06b1af9f640a8b456e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Inventory Sheet Structure
UPPERCASE HEADERS FOLLOWED BY A COLON: IT’S AN USER STORY NAME OR A SUBPROJECT:
- @multiple @tags starting with a dash 5- @followed by a number are tasks 4THE INBOX IS AT THE BOTTOM:
This is the “TaskPaper” format (VIM plugin available)You can roll out your own
![Page 14: You Say Tomato I Say Pomodoro](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/54437d06b1af9f640a8b456e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to Use the Inventory
Move lines around to set priorities
Try to use a single line each task
Append to INBOX all new tasks
Process the INBOX before the standup
![Page 15: You Say Tomato I Say Pomodoro](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/54437d06b1af9f640a8b456e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inventory Workflow
Process INBOXGrab tasks from User Story repoSplit tasks, add spikes if necessary
Re-estimate PomodorosPrioritize, move up and down

Record relevant session factsCreate a new one each session (day)
Fill from inventory when emptyMark done pomodoros
Mark total done and total plannedRecord interruptions

The Pomodoro Domain
Inception to user storiesStory selection for current iterationDevelopers volunteer for stories
pomodoro domain starts here
Developers fill out the Inventory SheetDevelopers start their first Pomodoro

Process Independent
The Pomodoro influence is at the task execution levelIt does not mandate programming techniques
It does not alter the software process
affects the focus/relax cycleimproves estimates precision
improves productivity

Multiple Inventories
One each pair/developer OR each workstation
The story owner is responsible to maintain the inventory OR whoever sits at the workstation
It contains tasks from the current storyIt contains tasks from QA storiesIt contains other technical tasks
