The primary concern of our team this sprint was re-stabilizing our group. We had lost two team members, and it was clear that our goals for the rest of this project are, and have been, unrealistic. Over the course of this sprint, we spent time re-evaluating what we'd be able to accomplish for the rest of the course, and re-aligned our goals with the time frame. All extra and unnecessary features have been cut from our project, and we've boiled our goals down to those features that will be absolutely necessary to display primary functionality to the client. Advanced features such as live chat, and advanced route mapping have been scrapped for the time frame of this course, and focus has shifted over to correcting and improving data entry into the database by users, how that information is displayed, and overall user-interface.
As for myself, aside from aiding in the group re-alignment, I've been tasked still with front-end development, and have worked on implementing some neater, more user friendly controls for the pages we will be presenting, replacing basic toggle controls, so that the client will be able to see a more polished overall design for our next showing.
I think a big issue with this sprint specifically, is that progress was heavily stunted due to mistakes made earlier in the development of our project. Our scope had fallen far out of hand, leaving us with a project that needed some serious re-focusing before we could even hope to be prepared for out client. That being said, now that we've taken the time to simplify and re-focus, everyone is more clear on what needs to be accomplished, and I am feeling more confident moving forward.
