Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful? YES, you can still fully answer this question without knowing exactly what you're going to build.)
Kevin: Implement new techniques and fully understand them.
Johnny: Gain experience from working with a group w/ one repo.
Zack: Build upon my JS knowledge and working with a larger group.
As a team we aspire to achieve at least a 3 on every element. When will know we're successful when we are satisfied with our project and the grading according to the rubric.
Together our group members possess strong communication skills and feel we can all be great leaders. We feel we will work best by meeting after class each day to limit distractions and increase productivity.
We have three team members to brainstorm ideas and direction with. This will help make critical decisions when it comes to pseudocoding and wire framing.
We need to be sure to discuss all important changes with each group member before implementation. Utilizing our communication skills will play to our strengths and help develop a product we're proud of.
Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually? What constraints do we have?):
We plan to do majority of our work after class. We will also utilize slack vid calls with screen share. We will work weekends as necessary.
We will all take the time in the late evening 6pm-8pm to work on things outside of our project.
Communication Expectations (How and often will we communicate? How do we keep lines of communication open? How will we make decisions as a team?):
We will use Slack/text messages to check in daily and discuss our project.
We plan to utilize grid and class/constructor the best we can. We will use this project to practice and hone our skills.
Will will be polite and use the "complement sandwich" style to give each other feedback, making sure our feedback is constructive, detailed, and nice.
I try to make myself available as much as possible for collaboration. This was evident in all of us staying after school ends and meeting up through frequent slack calls.
What was a specific technical challenge your group faced? How did you approach this challenge? What went well? What was a struggle?
We struggled through getting the star to repopulate, if a card was favorited, when you reload the page. We made progress little by little, first getting that property to update within local storage on reload, and finally getting it to show on reload.
I found that working with this group, this being my first time working on code with a group like this, that it is very helpful to have other people to bounce ideas off of. Our collective knowledge had a much bigger scope than any of us had as individuals.
I feel confident that I can store and remove things from local storage, and I can reflect the info stored in local storage on reload of the page.
Improving my JS and feeling more confident working on a project alone.
