Selecting a Project
- Avoid ‘New to the World’ technology
- Better to finish something
- With any idea, ask
- Is there something new, an unmet need?
- Is there something much better – a differentiator?
- Suggested (i.e. required for an ‘A’) approach
- Build a minimal system in the first few weeks
- Pick something rich enough so it can be enhanced in later iterations
Team Meetings: Face to Face
- Have an organizer for each team meeting – rotate the role
- Send out agenda in advance
- Include what members should do to prepare
- Take notes; record “who will do what by when”
