Backend Capstone Professions Development Q+A

Taylor Keller Pairin Top 4

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength is being able to work well with others. I respect my teammates' opinions while also freely offering my own solutions. Also, I am not afraid to come to my teammates for support when I am struggling to understand a concept or when I am stuck on a problem and need a new set of eyes on it. I know this from my experiences in the past working on team projects.

How do you work best?

Backend Capstone Gear Up Q+A

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

Being able to connect with others is a key role that empathy plays in my life. Empathy helps me to see past the empty emotions that a person may be showing. For instance, when you begin to empathize and understand someone it becomes easy to see when they are "off". Instead of becoming upset with someone because they are in a bad mood, I can empathize with them and realize that there is some external force acting upon them to cause this mood. Most frequently I find this in small miscommunications. There is a small miscommunication and someone overreacts I try to practice empathy to understand if they are upset with the situation, or if there is something else going on that is affecting them.

How does empathy help you build better software?

Empathy helps to build better software in vast number of ways, so I will only hit on a couple. First, it helps to create

PD Agile Reflection
What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
I have learned that agile seems to be the preferred method within the industry. Agile allows for quicker identification of
issues that may develop. It also allows for a constant feedback loop that leads to a better overall design. Waterfall seems
inferior in the sense that their is not as much interaction between the different teams. The project is passed from one team
to the next without a feedback loop to indentify/correct potential issues, or seek customer input to improve design.
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 had daily meetings to talk about what needed to be done in the project, and then would work as a team, in groups, or individually
to accomplish those tasks.
