Our team has reflected on our recent project experiences and identified areas where we can strengthen our collaboration to improve project outcomes. Here’s a breakdown of what worked well and what didn’t, along with proposed changes for improvement:

Successes:

  • We successfully completed a significant portion (75%) of small tasks.
  • Our meetings were productive, fostering meaningful discussions.
  • Communication among team members was clear and effective.

Challenges:

  • Difficulty with Docker-compose and documentation tasks due to inaccurate task weighting.
  • Essential details were not easily accessible, often buried within overarching epics.
  • Task distribution among team members was uneven.
  • Overreliance on one team member for handling GitLab logistics.
  • Limited collaborative assistance on individual issues.

Proposed Team Improvements:

  • Foster a culture of teamwork by encouraging mutual assistance on tasks.
  • Assign task weights more accurately based on lessons learned from previous sprints.
  • Improve team proficiency with GitLab and provide support as needed.
  • Ensure that issue details are readily accessible within individual tasks.
  • Distribute task assignments more evenly among team members.

Proposed Individual Improvements:

  • Communicate problems to teammates or the professor promptly for timely resolution.
