How we did it
As a team who started this project from essentially zero experience creating web apps, it took lots of patience and communication to complete this project effectively
Django
We used the Django python framework to create our web application, this allowed us to easily manage our project by separating and clearly organizing all the files we would need to get our application running
Github
We used Github to share our code with each other in order for us to work on separate parts of the project, while still making steady process on the entire project by ensuring that nobody was doing work that had already been done by someone else
Sprint Planning
Split into multiple sprints each project began with a planning document outlining each team member's role, responsibilities, and goals throughout that sprint. Clear deadlines were established during these planning sessions and followed diligently to complete the project as stress free as possible. We also utilized a trello board to keep us on track and understand what each other were working on.
Scrum Meetings
Our team participated in bi-weekly scrum meetings in order to keep the entire team honest and on track, as well as discuss if any deviations from our original plan would be needed. Through these meetings, we learned the importance of being flexible and worked together to help squash any issues we were facing.
Pair-Programming Focus
Since all of us were completely new to the world of web applications, we often worked in pairs of two in order to ensure that all of our code stayed readable and easily understandable, as well as to guarantee that everybody understood how all facets of our web application worked.
