Project:

Linked List

Group Member Names:

Amy Holt, Erik Ingvalson

Project Expectations: What does each group member hope to get out of this project?

We both want to learn and use jQuery for this project! I want to get practice manipulating the DOM, and feel confident about the JS we've learned so far. Erik wants to also strengthen his confidence with JS and jQuery.

Goals and expectations:

We are both determined to get through Phase 4 and meet benchmark goals in a timely manner to avoid last minute stress.

Team strengths:

Erik has more experience since he's already done Mod1. I bring strong organization to the table. We have gotten to know each other in class and both work hard and stay focused, so feel good about the dynamic.

How to overcome obstacles:

We won't panic when we encounter obstacles; we will try to break down the problem to identify exactly where it is coming from. We have signed up for many pairing sessions over the next week to get Mod2 support.

Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually?):

Amy works best in the morning and has to get home to her dog ASAP after school. Erik lives close so has flexible availability. We will work about 1 hour before school, during lunch and 2 hours after school msot days. We are also both interested in working on the weekend.

Communication Expectations (How and often will we communicate? How do we keep lines of communication open?):

We will meet daily and reserve the last 5-10 minutes to set next steps and responsibilities. We will text if running late or have an unexpected conflict.

Abilities Expectations (Technical strengths and areas for desired improvement):

Erik has a stronger hold on JS and I care a lot about UI.

Workload Expectations (What features do we each want to work on?):

We want to work on all features together for this first project with the pilot/navigator.

Workflow Expectations (Git workflow/Tools/Code Review/Reviewing Pull Requests):

We will commit and push to GitHub at the end of each work session.

Expectations for giving and receiving feedback:

Give any feedback as soon as you have it. Be open.

Agenda to discuss project launch:

Ideas:

How we will display the count info and delete all read cards button. How to tweak the 'read' button (no longer a button).

Tools:

Pre-read next weeks lessons.
