Software Design Lab

Introduction

Since sprints are three weeks long, there is one additional week that does not fall during a sprint. This quarter, we will place this week in Week 10 and use it for course wrap-up.

Requirements

Individual Contribution Report for the quarter

The individual contribution report summarizing your contributions to process and software development over the course of the entire quarter. Each student should prepare their own report and submit it to Canvas separately.

The individual contribution report is your chance to highlight your biggest contributions to the team over the course of the year. It does not need to be more than one page long, but should not be less than half a page long. Think of this as your last opportunity of the quarter to make sure I didn't miss something really important that you did this quarter. I do not need an exhaustive list of your contributions. One to three major contributions under each of the areas of process and software development are sufficient. Think of Dr. Hasker's instructions as a brainstorming list to help you remember what these contributions were.

I am occasionally pleasantly surprised, especially by contributions students mention under process. For example, a student might mention, "I suggested that we include PBI numbers at the start of every branch name. This helped the team know who was working on each branch more easily." Or "I was behind ___ that helped the team be so successful at accurately estimating our sprints." There are many creative ways to contribute to process. Even something as simple as, "I suggested we do ____ to avoid being too chatty during meetings. It seems to have worked!" can be meaningful to discuss!

There is no deliverable due for any Week 10 development activities the team may perform. If you have completed any PBI work not mentioned in the Sprint 3 Review, it would be good to higlight this in your individual contribution report.

Please submit the report as a PDF.

Peer Evaluations

Please submit the peer evaluations through the link found in the Canvas assignment. (TBA)

Optional Week 10 Development Activities Report

There is no deliverable due for any Week 10 development activities the team may perform. If your team completes any major PBI work during this week, you may wish to reflect it in your review and retro for Sprint 3, or if the work is completed after Wednesday, email me an optional report on the work accomplished. Individuals may also wish to update their contribution reports within esubmit. If you do so, please include a Canvas comment on the changes you made from your previous submission so I don't miss the update.
