- Evaluating the requirements and re-thinking the strategy used in Sprint 2
- Modifying different aspects of the application that seem more appropriate
- Fixing bugs consistently
- Epics 3,4 will be considered for implementation in Sprint 2
- A detailed list of the goals for Sprint 3 along with a task-wise breakdown and assignment to the team members will be done in the Sprint 3 planning meeting
