Agile Practices/Project Management

What project management strategies did you use in your projects this module?

This mod, in both my Game-time project and my Weathrly project, my project partner and I are organizing our task assignments using waffle (kanban board) in order to ensure that we both do not accidentally work on the same feature. Before each project, my partner and I would sit down and have a DTR in order to decide on our optimal work schedules, and what works best for each person regarding our strengths, skills, and areas we need improvement on.

What went well?

In Game-time, my partner and I kept to a schedule on time-boxing our pairing sessions, and switching driver/navigator during our pairings. We also realized that planning our strategy via whiteboarding prior to actually sitting down and writing our code really helped to speed up the process for both of us and as a result, both of us not only understood the logic behind solutions in much more depth, but we were able to get through writing the code faster.

What would you do differently next time?

If I were to do the project over again (game-time), I think it would help for us to make better use of our kanban board. We started off with the best of intentions of course, but as the project went on, we slacked off a little with keeping up with our updates on waffle, and as a result, the organisation of our project was not as optimal as it could have been. With Weathrly, I am making much more of an effort to keep it up-to-date.
