What is the value of a checklist?

>A checklist has both practical and psychological benefits that help to gain efficiencies in productivity. The practical benefits are simply and elegantly in keeping track of your tasks. It has taken me a long time to accept the fact that if I don't write something down I will not remember it and it will not get done. This goes for even the most mundane tasks. At work the moment someone makes an ask of me I write it down. I often pause conversations in order to write down the task. I have found that others are welcoming of this as it shows them I take their request seriously. The psychological benefits are twofold. Firstly by writing down the task you are better committing it to memory. It may seem counterintuitive but by writing things down you are setting yourself up to remember them better. Second, checking something off feels great! Third, having a clearly written to do list all in one place helps you to prioritize the highest impact tasks first. I personally use se

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

Empathy is key in any good relationship. One of the most pivitol things I have learned is how to express my own emotions. This may sound simple but it turns out people are really bad at mind reading and if you are open with someone about having had a bad day or not being in a great mood they are often very understanding in giving support. Others cannot give you support if they don't know its needed and people are often really bad at guessing when its needed. I don't leave empathy up to chance, I make sure I am communicating to others before expecting behavior.

Agile & Feedback Reflection Guidelines

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:

1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?

• I have learned that agile is a pretty easy concept to grasp mentally however its application is considerably more difficult. It is easy and natural to get caught in the weeds of your code and very difficult to step back and actively seek out input. Even though past experience has shown how helpful the outside input can really be.

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.)?

• We used github projects to manage our project. T
