SE 591, Week 1

Looking Back

Over the past week, I have accomplished the following tasks
  • Prepared project plan for Q2
  • Prepared individual plan for Q2
  • Designed "look and feel" for website
  • Migrated Azure subscription to Microsoft Imagine; added code review policy to repo
  • Updated DB structure for anticipated user stories for Q2
  • Contributed to list of gaps from Q1

Challenges

As was expected with anything Azure-related, it took some trial and error getting the entire system migrated off the Pay-As-You-Go to the Imagine subscription, but we eventually got it set up.

We did decide to require code reviews on every push, and in doing so, we also now have a CI/CD environment set up.

Preparing a detailed project plan required quite a bit of work. Thinking about every story, every dependency, priorities, etc. isn't necessarily difficult, but it does take a lot of time.

Metrics

While the items accomplished this week were "chores" and therefore didn't receive values in our tracker, I estimate my contributions this week to be approximately 15 points, so this establishes my baseline for this quarter.
