What feedback did you get on Dog Party today? What was your biggest takeaway?
Organization, preplanning could have saved some time and effort.
Goals and Expectations for the Project (You don't know the details of the project yet. But as you go into any project, how do YOU define success?)
Be satisfied with learning core concepts that the project is testing, or requires, more than having a finished project you don't understand.
Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here):
Imagination, openness to ideas. Collaborate well by caring and understanding the underlying anxiety with completely.
How we can use our strengths to overcome obstacles:
Our caring qualities and accountability will make completing milestones not as much of burden for the team. Our imagination will provide plentiful ideas for creating solutions and utilizing novel strategies to accomplish tasks.
Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually? What constraints do we have?):
Saturday as a rest day, and being vigilant of procrastination to make sure timelines are still kept. A flexday can be used if too little or too much work remains can adjust the workload that was previously scheduled.
Communication Expectations (How and often will we communicate? How do we keep lines of communication open? How will we make decisions as a team?):
Try to talk at least once a day with no expectations, maybe when we work from home just send a message saying we were tackling certain tasks, and if issues arise keep communications open to help each other.
Abilities & Growth Expectations (Technical strengths and areas for desired improvement): V: Researching solutions on google. Writing dry code. J: Organization and maintaining a sustainable pace, rather than sprinting and having to backtrack due to mistakes.
Workload Expectations (How are we going to make sure we contribute equally?):
Not a huge concern because both of us innately are compelled to pull our weight. Plan on dividing up tasks and assigning difficulty. Apply the Driver-Navigator technique for the first iteration. Then once we both have an understanding of the code, transition to ping-pong / remote style of collaboration.
Workflow Expectations (Git workflow/Tools/Code Review/Reviewing Pull Requests/Debugging and Problem-solving Techniques):
Driver-Navigator will keep contributions/commits balanced, by switching computers. Establish some code of conduct (pun intended), create in the repo the need for git pushes/merges be reviewed before they are added. Plus establishing rules as we go if we see the need.
Expectations for giving and receiving feedback:
Be open and honest, and never forget that our partners have the best intentions.
Project management tools we will use (GitHub Projects and Trello are popular tools):
Trello/GitHub Pages either one will be used for sure to make sure tasks are divided across days at a sustainable pace with some wiggle room.
I appreciate how detailed you were here, nice job setting expectations so thoroughly!
