ESCUELA DE CIENCIAS APLICADAS E INGENIERÍAS-Retrospective 3

What should we continue to do?

• Timely implementation of key functionalities such as text recognition, AI, and speech recognition.
• Strong individual progress tracking, evidenced by detailed weekly reports and clear schedules.
• Effective documentation and collaboration, as shown in the use of GitHub's wiki and preparation for deliverable presentations.
• Consistent improvement in group communication, despite needing further refinements.

What should we start doing?

• We should start updating the project backlog as tasks are completed, rather than retrospectively, to ensure accuracy in planning.
• We should start improving coordination when working on project reorganization and branching to avoid conflicts and improve workflow.
• We should follow our diagrams more closely during implementation to align with the planned architecture and improve delivery speed.
• We should create better time management practices during development and ensure that we allocate enough time to both learning and implementation of new technologies (like AI and speech recognition).
• We should formalize the use of virtual environments and proper branching strategies to avoid merge conflicts.

What should we stop doing?

• We should stop allowing unrelated discussions to dominate the time allocated for weekly meetings, keeping the focus on task updates and deliverables.
• We should stop postponing work on critical tasks, such as diagram finalization and AI implementation, which sometimes delay project progress.
• We should stop underutilizing the teacher’s resources, and instead actively incorporate feedback and best practices from provided materials.
• We should stop merging code without reviews and testing, particularly when new functionality is being added to avoid breaking the main branch.
