Workload Expectations (What features do we each want to work on?):
TBD (pending)
Workflow Expectations (Git workflow/Tools/Code Review/Reviewing Pull Requests/Debugging and Problem-solving Techniques):
Use Git Merge Workflow GitHub Project Board - use labels and seperate storyboard by columns For PRs, a BE PR should be reviewed by one of the following: Sarah, Jake, or Jacob; a FE PR should be reviewed by one of the following: Ann, Sarah, or Jacob
Expectations for giving and receiving feedback:
Be kind, make it actionable, be specific
Project management tools we will use (GitHub projects or Trello are popular tools):
GitHub Projects / Google Calendar
Day 1 Agenda:
Initialize your repositories (don’t write any code just yet!) Set up your scrum board with Github projects. You’ll be requireed to use a single board for all repos. This will make it easier to see what everyone is working on during the project. Each student create your goal for something you would like to learn about the other stack (BE student creates learning goal for something about the FE, and vice versa) Normalize on git workflow (we recommend using a “rebase” workflow, as opposed to “merge”, as it is most common on the job) - use a PR template Determine MVP (knowing it could change as the project continues) Create user stories Create wireframes Construct schema design Decide on rough tech stack
