(paraphrased and adapted from previously written and misplaced reflection)
This module, we have integrated the use of waffle cards effectively, most evident in our current project Little Shop. I think
what made it easier to use waffle was the fact that, on this project, the spec was divided into user stories. User stories are
small, bite-sized chunks, that group members are not shy pulling down and completing. When the project was in whole iterations,
the tasks were often open-ended and more difficult to track progress. Regardless, more thought should have been given to dividing
bike-share more effectively. I have found since that it is much more effective to work in the same room with group members, but
seperately. That way, questions can be asked and answered quickly, but the whole group time is not spent laboriously going over
the plan. I enjoy the agile workflow, as it allows for greater compartmentilization and makes sure that each part of the program
is working before moving on to the next. It also means that different parts of the site can be tackled by different group members
concurrently. Getting each piece working before adding new functionality makes it easier to communicate between iterations/pieces
of the program. With the agile workflow, I feel as though the key is in planning over time, but not wasting too much time on the
plan itself.
