Team Challenges

Team Challenges

In the process of creating our social media site, we faced many challenges.

1. Lack of Communication

  • To overcome this challenge, we held several meetings and discussed issues in our code during class.
  • We frequently used Slack to communicate and inform each other when to pull, preventing merge errors.
  • The Live Share feature on VSCode allowed us to collaborate effectively, even with overlapping work.

2. Organization Difficulties

  • With six people working together, organization was not easy.
  • A Kanban board helped us track progress and view pending tasks.
  • Personal burndown lists allowed us to check the next steps for our individual features.

3. Code Issues and Errors

  • We collaborated to ensure correct formatting and sought help from the coding tutoring club.
  • We formed groups with members working on similar features to troubleshoot problems together.
  • We tested our functions on different computers to improve the overall user experience.
