Release 2

Successes:

1. Component Development: Completed separate voice-to-text and landscape generation features, with successful demos of each.
2. Team Communication: Regular meetings ensured steady progress, with effective task division.
3. Presentation Quality: Detailed slides post-demo were appreciated and clarified our project’s current state.

Challenges:

1. GitHub and Version Control: Inconsistent commits and lack of unified version control (considering Unity Plastic SCM or GitHub LFS).
2. Integration Issues: Initial integration of voice and landscape features showed compatibility challenges.
3. Defect Tracking: Need for formalized logging of known defects in GitHub.

Lessons Learned:

1. Regular GitHub Updates: Consistent commits and detailed task documentation are essential for tracking progress.
2. Early Integration: Integrating components sooner would allow more time for troubleshooting.
3. Clear Documentation: Improved build/run instructions and defect logging needed.

Next Steps for Release 3:

1. Structured GitHub Use: Regular commits from all members, detailed tagging, and defect tracking.
2. Focused Integration: Priority on integrating voice and landscape generation for a seamless experience.
3. Enhanced Documentation: Keep Wiki updated with retrospectives, meeting logs, and AI usage; refine README for clarity.
