1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? I have learned that agile process is better when you have a team that can break up the work into chucks that fit with the MVP idea. When you don't have a team that has a guide to break up a project up like the agile method wants or doesn't have the knowledge/will to break it up then you descend into the waterfall method which slows down the process of getting out the best product.

2. How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)? The tools we use in the futbol project were the github projects tool which allowed us as a group to see what we were working on, who was assign to what parts and what was coming down the pike. In order to hold each other accountable for our code we didn't allow anyone to merge their code into master. First the code had to look over by all group members and than one of group members would merged the code

1. What is the check_it algorithm checking? The check_it algorithm is checking if the parentheses are formatted correctly with each having their own pair with the right amount of space/elements inbetween them.
2. What other applications could this algorithm have? An other application this algorithm have is to check if other pairs have a partner and the correct amount of elements between them.
3. What kinds of problems are Stacks good at? Stacks are good at checking if the order of items are put in the right way and push out the right way.

What is my greatest strength and how do I know it?

My greatest strength is my memory and ability to keep track of the small details. With my memory it easy for me to remember little details that come up in meetings that someone said off hand but are in fact important. I can then bring this detail back up during a time where it is more likely to be discussed and not forgotten . I know this because comments made by past teammates who have repeatedly said how grateful they are that I remember something the rest of the group forgot. To build upon this I also have been complimented by previous bosses about how they like that they can something once and I will remember it no matter how insignificant it was at the time.

How do you work best?

I work best when I have a good amount of control over the project. I always get mentally stress when I work on group projects because it hard f

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it help you?

Empathy plays an important role because it allows me to build relationships with other people. Some of my best relationships are people who I have empathize with and help some of them with their problems. By doing this I know that we have a relationship built on trust and that any problems we have with each other can be solved. It also has the added benefit if I am in any trouble then these relationships will be nice to have because I trust them to empathic to my problems and would be willing to help me out, just like I have for them.

How does empathy help you build better software?

Empathy helps build better software because creating software is a group project which requires us to work together and it allows us to focus on the customer needs. By listening with an empathic ear to the customer when creating software we can customize the software to better fit their needs thus making them wanting to use it more. It also allows us to go
