Meeting 1: October 5th, 2024

Location: MS Teams Time: 7:00 - 8:00pm

Attendees: Mary, Merwin, Kunjal, Imad

What went well during this sprint?

  • We successfully set up the project environment and dependencies, including React Native and MongoDB.
  • Everyone contributed to initial project discussions, and roles were clearly defined.

What didn’t go well or caused challenges during this sprint?

  • There was a lack of communication. Team members did not stay in close contact throughout the sprint, leading to confusion about progress.
  • Tasks were completed last minute, resulting in rushed work and potential issues that could have been avoided with better time management.

What can we improve in the next sprint?

  • We need to communicate more frequently—this could include daily check-ins or updates on our progress, even if brief.
  • Better time management and planning will help us avoid rushing to complete tasks at the last minute. Setting internal deadlines earlier in the sprint may help with this.

Were there any roadblocks that slowed us down?

  • The lack of communication and last-minute task completion were the main issues. This delayed collaboration on certain components and affected the overall flow of the sprint.
  • Some confusion regarding the setup of the MongoDB environment caused minor delays as well.

What actions can we take to improve in the next sprint?

  • Implement regular team updates, such as quick daily or every-other-day status reports, to keep everyone aligned on progress and challenges.
  • Break tasks down into smaller, manageable units with internal deadlines to avoid last-minute rushes. Assign responsibility for communication to ensure everyone is updated and aware of each other’s work.
