Questions

Prep time

You have four hours outside of class each week to work on your project. You’ve had about one and a half weeks. Groups of 6 therefore have 36 hours of person work done and groups of 5 have 30. What have you accomplished in that time? Please present with appropriate context. You will have five minutes.

Some things to consider.

• What is your project (for your classmates who don’t remember)?
• What have you accomplished so far?
• What are your goals for the next week or two?
• What are some useful user stories for us to hear?
