Roles Taskmaster Gitmaster Testmaster
Daily process Morning standup started by yesterday's Taskmaster New roles assigned (by yesterday’s Taskmaster) Yesterday? Today? Obstacles? (by today’s Taskmaster) Pair program on assigned tasks Rotate tasks around every 3-4 days Record issues that are non-blocking and discuss right after lunch at re-group meeting Bring up any blocking issues after 15-30 minutes of spinning your wheels At 2:30pm have re-group meeting where you check-in with blockers, status updates and plan for EOD merge Immediately prior to end of day make applicable pull requests, review each other’s code and merge into master
Team expectations Each of us reserves the rights to our nights and weekends, and we have all been straightforward about when and how we can commit to working on the project If you have a blocking issue, slack before interrupting another’s train of coding-thought We will assign tasks vertically (instead of horizontally) None of us will specialize in terms of front-end and back-end code Share the mic Disagree often and discuss -- argue infrequently At least message the group when you change what you are working on
Issues
If the group is divided on a certain decision we will take the following steps: Take 10-15 minute break List out the pros / cons Vote on it If the vote is split, escalate to a fellow or instructor If you are frustrated Take a walk or get some water Talk constructively about actionable items (e.g. raise your hand instead of interrupting, let me learn and struggle until I ask you for help, etc.) Bring in a 3rd party (e.g. fellow, instructor) to mediate if you feel too frustrated
