DTR: Define the Relationship - Sam & Jacob Project: Palette Picker
Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:
What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?
- Both are great in general.
- Starting off focusing on more of a pair programming approach to build out structure of the project.
- Make sure we're on the same page first before splitting apart.
- Then once we feel we have a strongly defined structure, then we will move on to divide-and-conquer.
How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others?
- Frequently, honestly and openly
- Revist the DTR midway through the project.
- In person as much as possible. If not then utilize Slack DM for any additional communication.
What are each of our strengths? How can our strengths complement each other?
- Jacob - Well rounded understanding, proactive - likes accomplishing tasks, resourceful - comfortable researching answers
- Sam - empathic, driven to accomplish specific tasks, willingness to learn in relationship to code
- We both like to work hard and accomplish our project goals. At the same time, we will learn a lot.
