CSC322.01 2016F, Class 14: Iteration 1: Day 3 ============================================= _Overview_ * Preliminaries. * Admin. * Upcoming Work. * Questions. * Reminder: Written reports. * Reminder: Presentations format. * Prep Time. * Presentations. * Time to work on written reports. Preliminaries ------------- ### Admin * I have not yet heard a revised meeting date from MICA. * Presentations today! * Then work on your reports! ### Questions Reminder: Weekly Reports ------------------------ Every Sunday night each group should send a weekly report to me and to *all* the mentors (not just yours). The report should cover the following four points. * What did you accomplish during the past week? * What do you hope to accomplish in the coming week? * What obstacles stand in your way? * What resources will help you accomplish your task? Presentation Format ------------------- We will have presentations every week. We'll alternate between quick presentations (this week) and more substantive presentations (next week) Quick * _Intended Goals_. Remind us of your goals for the time period and the points you associated with those goals. * _Overview of Accomplishments_. Which of those goals did you accomplish? What other (unexpected) things did you deal with along the way? * _Continuing Goals_. What are you anticipating doing in the next week as you wrap up this iteration? Substantive * _Intended Goals_. Remind us of your goals for the time period and the points you associated with those goals. * _Overview of Accomplishments_. Which of those goals did you accomplish? What other (unexpected) things did you deal with along the way? * _Demo_. Show off the current state of your system, focusing on the parts you were working on. * _Code Walkthrough_. Show us an interesting part of your code from the past two weeks and explain it to us. * _New Goals_. What do you intend to accomplish over the next two-week iteration? What points have you assigned to each task? How are you dividing the work? Please strive for organized and coherent presentations. Time To Prepare Presentations ----------------------------- You will have some time to work on your presentations. Presentation: Board Bank ------------------------ ### Iteration Goals _We changed our list completely since last week._ * Review code base. * See below. ### Status In reviewing code base, identified the following tasks. * Deliver sensible error messages when you can't add a user. "As an administrator, I want to be able to see an error message when I try to add a user so that I can fix the problem." * Fix elastic search. Pick up where the other group left off. "As an organization, I want to be able to find people based on their indicated interests so that I can identify people who would actually enjoy working for my organization." * When filling out profiles, select among interests, such as "working with children", or "gardening with children" * Consider security issues. * Look more like the GPCF Web site. Something about green. ### Expect to complete this iteration * Read up on Elastic search. Complicated and essential. * Error message. ### Questions and Answers * Why are the error messages green? We misspoke. * Can I just get a list of all the volunteers? Yes. * Boolean searches? No. It depends on what the partner wants. * Next mentor meeting: Wednesday * Next client meeting: Needs to be set. ### Reminders for next week * Clearly identified tasks, workers, and points. Presentation: Phone Notification -------------------------------- ### Iteration Goals * Check correctness of phone numbers * Edit student information * Get template messages working ### Status * Phone number checking implemented! * Student information can be edited, with some caveats. * But fields are not yet filled out. Need to work on that. * Need a new way of changing the classroom. * Something about repo * Template support * In progress ### Expect to complete this iteration * Tables to deal with template stuff. * Reminder: Messages and translations. * Realize: Original database design was insufficient. Amazingly, students may have multiple responsible adults. Redesigning the student table first. * Think about changes to that table. * Write user stories. * Need to talk to community partners! * For student information, working on filling in the fields. * Unit tests for phone number checking. ### Questions Presentation: GAM ----------------- We hope that our missing group member feels better. ### Iteration Goals * We wanted to figure out what needed to be done on the project. * Needed to talk to people who worked on it last semester. * Document code (informally)! * Got Admin working. ### Status * Got a good road map. * All the functionality is there (hah!) * Needs more tests. * Cucumber is not cool * Need to fix bad code * Need to write unit tests * Need to preserve Sam's credit card. * Need to comment their code. * Did lots of commenting ### Expect to complete this iteration * Talk to Alex Leach * Establish what to do next. Questions * Meeting with community partner? Not until they have specific q's. Presentation: Resource Portal ----------------------------- Only 60% here. Perhaps less, because it's not clear they are at full functioning state. ### Iteration Goals * Understand ethics of collecting information on users * How do we gather information from users? Example, if someone doesn't have children, we don't need to show them stuff related to children. * Talk to previous group members. * Seed database with sample data. * Incorporate categories and subcategories ### Status * Need to work with MICA on ethics of collecting information * Clients may want communication system. * Need to consider security. * We can now seed database. * Categories and subcategories put on hold until we better understand the user paradigm. * Need to learn how to clear database. * Need to work on UI. ### Expect to complete this iteration * Conceptualize UI overall. * Revisit functionality. * Understand security. ### Obstacles * Talking to MICA!!!! (Or not) ### Questions Time to Prepare Reports ----------------------- See above for guidelines.
