Communication Expectations (How and often will we communicate? How do we keep lines of communication open?):
* Slack
* Texting 
* Send a slack message when you submit a PR
* Give each other daily updates at a minimum (whether that be over slack or in person)

Workflow Expectations (Git workflow/Tools/Code Review/Reviewing Pull Requests):

* The person approving a pull request should comment on the pull request they merge

Expectations for giving and receiving feedback:

Agenda to discuss project launch:
* End of the day friday to complete full functionality of first 6 iterations
