Week 1

Week Behind

Due to my coding skills, I have decided to take a different approach to the HMW question. I effectively started from scratch but I will be using the code done by my former team up until Sprint 2.

This week I:

• forked my former team’s repository (last commit during Sprint 2) and am using that as my repository.
• created a progress board using Zenhub which can be viewed in my repository.
• created a new system diagram.
• located two wedges.
• formed 3 user stories based on the system diagram.
• drew product sketches for 2 of the user stories and converged on a unified user story that includes elements from both.
• formulated a narrative that I believe sets the scene for the user story.
• included my goals for the semester.
• included my development process, although I believe I will be modifying it when I start developing my solution.
• created an architecture diagram that maps out the main technology components of my solution and two possible rat holes.
  • I already tackled one of the rat holes: networking. I will use a cloud-based solution instead.
  • I have a backup plan in case the second rat hole pops up.
• listed my stakeholder touchpoints.
• got myself set up with the code.
  • installed the latest version of Unity.
    • Installed required plugins and add-ons.
  • installed the latest version of Xcode.
  • installed the latest version of Visual Studio Code.
    • Installed required plugins and add-ons.
  • upgraded the solution to work with the latest versions of the above tools.

Week Ahead

This week I will:

• form the product loop.
• sketch a storyboard.
• estimate market size.
• create a go-to-market strategy.
• flesh out the TUX map.
• design (mock up) 2 screens.
  • These will be high-fidelity and I will get started on implementing them.
• get started with user findings and logs.
• attempt to complete the homework for this week to the best of my ability.

Weeks 2, 3, and Sprint

2 Weeks Behind

Over the past two weeks, I:

• formed the product loop.
• estimated the market size for this product.
• created a go-to-market strategy.

  • This includes 3 screens for Enter, Engage, and Extend.
• completed a Sprint.
• made minor changes to the architecture diagram.
  • I updated the versions of software dependencies.
• completed a NCP.
  • These are just GIFs for now but will include textual descriptions soon.

Week Ahead

This week I will:

• complete the NCP description as required.
• prepare for the final presentation on November 22.
• include my legacy user findings as well as try to conduct 3 more tests for more findings.
• complete the punch list.
