Debrief/Midproject Retro

(this is not a blame and shame. The focus is on events in the last iteration and not the people.)

  • What happened in the last iteration

    • what Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic/Relevant, Timely (SMART) goals did we achieve?
      • Client side functionality:
        • Create and manage courses
        • UI for that
        • Submit Jobs (basic UI)
        • Query for Jobs (ask if job is done and retrieve them)
        • Scrubbing of student data
        • login component
      • Met the deadlines--performed sufficiently for Bockus (Stage 1/Stage 2)
      • Processing Server:
        • API
        • primative java plagiarism detection
        • accept jobs and return results
      • Testing
        • test files
        • travis
      • UI Mockups and logo
      • Still good group dynamics
      • No one has cried
      • We've all learned a lot of valuable software dev skills

  • What areas need improvement?

    • the software (k values, UI, conforming to SRS)
