Week 2 # Sprint 0 # 08.10.2020 - 14.10.2020 # Idea Pitch

At week 2, we had discussed more the idea we had pitch last week, and after discussing with the lecturer, we reduce the number of ideas to consider from 9 to 4.

And also we start to discuss more detail about the 4 ideas. 

Topic:

  • Discuss Project
  • Discuss Language/Framework/Tech will be Used
  • Creating Sprint Backlog Item

Progress:

On this Friday, Gerry assigned us to scrumwise group, because I am the ScrumMaster in this team, so I started to plan the backlog item and set up the sprint 0 tasks on Saturday noon. At the evening I had a meeting with all the teammate to discuss the point and hour should assign to each task, and any backlog Item we need to do.

 And also at this week, we all work on further investigate about the idea we pitched by ourself and thinking about the requirement and hardware-software needed.

After reading the Mahara page about Aquality V1.0, I start to think about what feature we can enchant or add into it and become Aquality V2.0, I don't have much direction but I thinking about maybe we can automate the project instead of the participant need to go to the river bank and taking the kick sample. Because after I reading the Small Steam Characteristic System (SSCS) Survey Manual written by Atlantic Salmon Group, there is actually some part of the data we can do it by using sensor automatically. 

Issues:

 Because Aquality project is an external project, and we have no reason to communicate to Centre for Freshwater and Environmental Studies ( CFES ) if we don't decide to take the project as our year 4 project, we actually are building the requirement and functionality by my own thought, and my own imagination that is actually not a real requirement and not realistically needed by CFES.
