The project will follow a fairly standard Scrum process with a few modifications. Additionally, this project will strictly adhere to the git management guidelines of GitFlow.

Scrum Modifications

  • Team will be most likely remotely working, thus rather than true face-to-face communications, we will utilize Zoom
  • Daily scrum meetings will be replaced with bi-weekly or tri-weekly meetings
