Project Statement, Scope, and Scale

A photo share App that allows people to share photos amount of friends and family. Online-based application software utilizing modern technology and platforms to help people to share their photos using secure authentication when logging into the app. To achieve this, we decided to utilize the Android OS and create a server to store user’s data and pictures. the scope of the first sprint includes creating a home screen, establishing camera access, and uploading pictures to a server. Time allowing, the scope of sprint 2 will include secure login, account creation, and fingerprint scanner authentication. The Application can handle, and direct service demanded. The Application will allow the user to share his family or friends’ pictures. The same application should be able to let the user create an account and send people invites to the site.

Team Management Plan

a) Team Leadership:

Sean Bruce is the team leader for the entirety of the project.

b) Task Assignments:

Tasks will be discussed and assigned as a group on Tuesdays. We will also do daily stand-ups to make sure everyone is on the same page.

c) Communication Platforms:

Our primary mode of communication will be via our team Discord channel as well as email. We will be using a new Github site for version control and a repository.

d) Documentation:

Documentation will be primarily done by Philippine and Tiffany. Code versioning will be Andrew’s responsibility. Storing and sharing documentation will be lumped into communications which are Sean’s responsibility. Note-taking will be either kept in Discord chat logs, email, or recorded in Zoom meetings where applicable. Tasks will have a weekly soft due date of Friday. This will time for revision where applicable and submission compilation before final turn in.

e) Change Management:

Change management will be documented and tracked through Github with commits and pull requests.

Conflict Management Plan

In the unlikely event of a conflict, the team will work together to resolve any issues that may arise. We will practice strategies in conflict resolution learned in previous communications courses in our program. And if these practices fail to produce results, the team will enlist the help of the course instructor to help mediate the conflict.
