As per what Mother Teresa says: "None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." Building a strong team, together with our various stakeholders, plays a vital role in the development of Team Alpha. Each of us have different strengths and weaknesses, but we complement each other in various ways. With a positive energy and strong team morale, the team has improved throughout the phases of FYP. Having meals together after every meeting ensures that there is a work-life balance within the team. Our current progress thus far definitely plays a part in pushing us to achieve the best. Individual ReflectionHui Yee's ReflectionManaging the different stakeholders and team management not an easy task. Setting the goals and expectations is important as it helps to bring everyone together to achieve what we have set out to accomplish. Thus, I have always checked on my team and also the stakeholders to seek for their concerns and feedback, hoping to drive the team towards our final goal. Aloysius's ReflectionJun Ming's ReflectionCarine's ReflectionEvery joint supplies. Although everyone is tasked with different things/functions, it all contributes to what we are aiming to achieve. It has been a learning journey and I'm thankful for the understanding of my peers when it comes to making mistake and learning on-the-job. Through the open discussions and technical integrations thus far, I've gained greater understanding of the back end developments beyond my role as a front-end developer. In addition, I have experienced the importance of adaptability and flexibility towards requirement changes / feedback, personal time management and commitment. Jeremy's ReflectionDuring the last few months, I realized that teamwork and communication is vital for this project. Compared to other school projects, this project is an on-going process and requires us to work with external stakeholders. This means that we had to consistently improve our application and update our stakeholders periodically. Trust is another important factor. Besides believing in your teammates ability to complete their task, there is also a need to consistently remind and motivate each other to strive for the best. By doing so, we have a better understanding of each others workload. At the same time, whenever there are any issues, we were willing to ask and seek help from each other. This created a good working environment in our team. Hong Ye's ReflectionOver the past few months, we have seen major changes in our application in both its front and back ends especially after each client meetings. I've also learnt to manage our workload of existing features along with new features to balance with school work and other commitments. After working hours on coding, I've been able to improve my technical skills after being exposed to not only back ends features mainly on security but also front-end design elements during integration. |
