CAREER JOURNAL MODULE 4 (1911 Cohort)
PD session 6/3/20 & 6/5/20
Both optional. Attended what I could. Learned a lot about optimizing my linked in for searches by recruiters. Keywords and I will be reviewing everything after mod 4. Great info!

What is one thing that went unusually well during this project? Personally, for me, this was an excellent experience. Except for a few parts in my mod1 group project, this was my first experience with splitting up work like that. I have previously either done the majority or worked paired on every part of the project. I haven't felt comfortable with the idea of splitting user stories, and relinquishing control but this time, I am physically and mentally exhausted. I am running on cold medicine and caffeine so, I think it was great to not have to be in control of everything, and to be able to rely on my partners in my weakest moments. I can see the benefits of a collaborative project now, and I can see at least some of the hazards. This group project, has taught me to trust that others care as much as I do, and that working in a group is actually, in some ways, better than working solo. I have my group partners to thank
Alex showed a high level of dedication, committment to the project and obviously has a good eye for detail. He was the best of all of us at looking carefully at pull requests. I learned from him.

What is one thing that went unusually well during this project? Chase: I think Chase was the rock star of this project. He had a high level of committment and did an extremely good job at managing different personality styles. Great communication. So, personally, for me, this was an excellent experience.

What is one thing that went unusually well during this project?
I thought we worked together very well. Paul is open-minded, empathetic, with a great work ethic, and was accommodating with scheduling work time. He also did a great job answering questions when I had them. He was receptive to my ideas, which were sometimes different than his, and when we had differences of opinion, we were able to resolve them easily, without tension or conflict. We had an easy time getting work done and it was enjoyable to do so.
I came to Turing in the fall of 2019. Before Turing, I was a stay-at-home-mom, for about 14 years. This fall, my youngest child entered her freshman year of high school. My children continue to evolve from dependance to independence, and my role as a mom is changing. As I thought about the implications of those changes, I realized that I wanted to contribute to the world in other ways. Turing is how I chose to transition into the workforce. I thought about software development, and after attending one of Turing’s “Try Coding” events, I decided to enroll. Upon successful completion of Turing’s back-end software development program, I hope to find a position somewhere that I can apply myself and contribute in a meaningful way to the success of the team and the company I work for.

| In interviews, you'll be asked about how you approach working in projects, and being able to describe how you utilize agile processes is a great way to help you stand out as a junior developer candidate. This reflection is meant to help you develop this skill. | |
| With that in mind, please answer the following questions in your own gist about your group project: | |
| What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? | |
| I learned that waterfall is a process used to develop software that can take a large amount of time and resources to develop software without actually knowing how the user interacts with or even appreciates the software, while the agile process offers a huge potential cost savings to develop software. The agile process makes a version of software that performs specific functions and then releases that software for it's potential users to try. Then it modifies and improves that software based on user experience. This means that real-life results drives the upgrades in |
