Impressions

Jeff

• It was interesting to work on this project fully remote. Although it was hard at first to plan and start the work, we soon got used to it and utilized online communications effectively to make it work. I realized how important to set up the API documents as thoroughly as possible for the development cycle to be smooth, including the functionality of the API, input types, and output types. If the API documents are well-written, we barely even need human to human communications.

• It was quite rough for me personally due to COVID as I have been quite personally affected. Despite all that I'm glad to have teammates who were understanding and thankfully we were able to clutch this one out. Honestly maybe more time for planning could have been used but other than that I believe everyone did their best and helped each other.

• This project was particularly difficult in my opinion, not just because of the content, but the difficulty of communication. Our team members are all situated in different timezones, and finding times when we were all available to meet was perhaps one of the biggest challenges we encountered. That said, I strongly believe that given the circumstances of this final project, the team really pulled through and tried their best. There's not much more I'd ask for in a team.
