At the beginning of this Sprint, we all watched the videos that AMPATH shared with us for ideas for projects they would like to incorporate into their app. It was really encouraging to make contact with them. I was wondering how much they would ask of us, but I was glad that they seem to value what we’re going to do. I like that it looks like we will be able to do some interesting projects. I hope we are able to get through as many stories as possible because I want to do a good job on this.
After watching the videos they provided, and we all decided that we wanted to start by trying to implement the story which was to creating tabs in the app so more than one form for multiple patents could be open at once.
After a quick google search, I found some good resources from the official Angular site. It provided with some examples of different ways to implement it. It also showed the code behind it in an interactive app that showed how all the components work together. Within the app, I was able to modify the code and see in real time the changes I made to the example.
I shared what I found with the team. It is very exciting because this was exactly what we wanted, and it was laid out in a way that was really intuitive and makes it straightforward to see what we need to do next.
I think what may be our next biggest hurdle is getting something concrete started. After we have done that, I think it will be pretty straightforward assigning roles and dividing up tasks. When we have finished the first story, I think I will have enough of a feel of how things are done to branch out and form a sub-group so we are able to cover more ground.
Andrew was a huge help to our group. He pointed us in the direction of a lot of resources, especially how to interpret the code we have been provided.
I think a good goal for this upcoming sprint is to finish this one story that we have chosen. I think it is something that we can realistically do, and I don’t foresee that it will be all that challenging. It’s still early to say for the sprint after, but I would like to at that point do what I mentioned earlier and split up into smaller groups and between the four of us, tackle two more stories with two of us working on each.
Of course, I have coded enough to know that there will be unforeseen obstacles that we will have to overcome. There is a chance that one or several might cause quite a bit of delays, so I should not get too ambitious right out of the gate. After all, we have not done any real work of substance yet.
However, I believe it is important to set our goalposts high. If we don’t achieve all of our goals, we can just append it to the next sprint. I think we will achieve more of our goals if we are more ambitious setting them.
