Welcome to your mini‑sprint! In the next 2 hours your squad of 3–4 developers will turn this scaffold into a working, test‑driven word‑scramble game you can play in the terminal.
-
Git & GitHub – clone, branch, commit, open a PR, review & merge.
-
JavaScript & Jest – implement functions & make the tests pass, then extend with your own tests.
-
SCRUM teamwork – pick a Scrum Master (SM), Product Owner (PO) & Devs; time‑box tasks, run a mini‑retro.
# 1. Fork and clone the repo
$ git clone <your‑repo‑url> .
$ cd scramble-cli
# 2. Install dependencies
$ npm install
# 3. Run the tests – they should FAIL at first
$ npm test
# 4. Create a branch and start coding!
$ git checkout -b feat/implement-isCorrect
# 5. When all tests pass, open a Pull Request & get it reviewed| Role | Primary focus |
|---|---|
| Scrum Master & Product Owner | Clarify acceptance criteria, update backlog (/tasks.md). Keep the team on time (15‑min sprint planning, stand‑ups, retro). |
| Dev A | Implement scrambleWord() in src/scramble.js. |
| Dev B | Implement isCorrect() & extend Jest tests. |
| Dev C | Build CLI flow in src/index.js with Inquirer. |
| Dev D (opt) | Add extras: score tracking, ASCII art, timer, etc. |

chalk. - Persist high scores to a JSON file.
