final_project's Issues

Milestone 1 feedback!

👍 The goal of this sprint is to have the basic screens and workflows ready as much as possible. A few notes

• Pls create tasks that are well defined and seem achievable in the given timeframe. Take a look here on how to create tasks - https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-the-issue-tracker-221449750.html
• Pls assign tasks to team members keeping in mind that work load needs to be divided equally among all members of the team. This is critical in working as a team and also gives equal learning opportunity to everyone involved.
• Consider diving a bigger parent task into a number of smaller subtasks - provides a better picture of the progress on the issue
• Consider creating a project wiki so you can have a thorough documentation of all design decisions made during the project. You have a good start on this by listing down required and advanced features on ReadMe.
• Depending on the strategy your group has come up with, consider creating regular check ins to sync up your code to avoid having multiple errors at the end.
• Consider creating tasks to QA the app a few times to check the basic flow. Integration testing will especially be important for this project since each team member is working on a separate module. The best part is seeing it all come together into a polished app.

Consider incorporating as many screens as possible in this sprint so you can have enough time to add UI polish and advanced features later on. It is those little extra things you do that make everything feel more polished and desirable to use. Look forward to what you all come up with.

Milestone 0 Feedback !

Thanks for submitting this and documenting your progress so far! Good to see you have an initial version of the wireframes complete as a starting point for your app.

Remember that by the end of your second sprint, we expect each team to have their core flows functionally complete (but rough), so this week (Sprint 1 review), your team should complete the first 50% of the core app functionality.

While building this app, try to keep in your mind the story for your app and what you need to have a polished demo. Be aggressive about which features you can scope into the first version for internal demo day.

As far as the process goes, try to break down each of your stories/app features into smaller tasks (create issues) and assign it to your team members so that each team member has a clear idea on what they have to work on.

Excited to see what your group comes up with! Let us know what we can do to help.

Milestone 2 feedback !

👍 Nice work so far on the group project. Your team has made great progress in the last week. Hope you are proud of what you have achieved in ~6 weeks.

• Good work implementing the core flows. You guys have made great progress in sprint 2 and it seems like most of your application logic is in place.
• Good to see you have tasks/issues being worked on actively.
• Good to see that you have already started adding UI polish to your app
• Good to see that your team had regular commits/pull-requests to merge the code
• Consider improving your test coverage by incorporating positive as well as negative testing to determine if your app handles improper user behavior correctly.
• Keep working on integrating the core flows and make sure all pieces fit together perfectly.
• Consult with your mentors to get their feedback as often as you can. Remember they are here to help!
• While working on polishing your app for next sprint, remember that your app follows the android design guidelines and also benchmark your app on sites such as android app patterns to improve the UI/UX.

Take time this week to clean up and polish your app. Generally, most of these tasks are small and easy, but go a long way in making an impact on how your app will get perceived. I would also encourage you to start thinking about coming up with a user story for the demo day. It is the apps with the most appealing story that gains the most attention on the demo day. Excited to see your progress next week!
