Tutorial 6: Project 2, Sprint 1

From this week tutorial attendance is marked. For the rest of the semester the tutorial slot will serve as a time to meet with your group and make progress on the industry project.

Your tutor will act as a non-technical supervisor throughout the second project, making sure you’re on track and assessing checkpoints, but won’t be providing significant technical assistance.

Tutorial Outline

In today’s tutorial you should:

• Meet with your team

• Plan your approach to the first sprint of Project 2

• Set up your GitHub Classroom repository

• Set up a system for assigning and managing tasks (we suggest Kanban)

• Establish a communication channel for outside of the tutorial

• (Suggested) Plan an additional meeting slot outside of the tutorial

• Ask any questions you’ve got about the first sprint

Sprint 1 Checkpoints

These checkpoints will be assessed during the tutorial next week.
