Project Reflection
What is one thing that went unusually well during this project?
- The DTR process, starting the project as a group, then splitting up into sub-pairs to tackle different parts of the project
- Staying on track using Trello as our project planning tool, following an accurate Github workflow
- Being in constant communication by having daily check-ins before starting the day, and communicating when a piece of functionality is complete and ready for review
- Trying people's suggestions, playing to people's strengths
- Having flexibility for individual learning needs
In hindsight, is there anything you would have done differently?
- Adding all contributors (in GitHub) to portions of the work that was either worked in a group or pairs
- Although the project as a whole has collaborators, when branches are worked on by multiple people, only the person that commits that branch as a whole and does a pull request is credited
If you were working with this partner again, what is something that you would want to focus on improving as a team?
- At the end, I can tell we were somewhat tired, and our communication dropped a little bit, but overall the team communicated consistently
What strengths did your partner bring to the project?
- Javier was our team's resource and visionary, providing resources along the way, and always planning ahead by giving us feedback to improve the quality of our work
What is something they could do better?
- Javier talked about feeling a bit out of focus when others were driving in a group work setting. I wonder if taking on the role of navigator for a previously agreed upon time by the team, would help.
