Week 6 General Announcement

Communication, Collaboration and Development

Good Morning Thoth Tech

Here is this week's update from your friendly neighbourhood leadership team.

Firstly, congratulations on being half way through Capstone, you should all be very proud of your efforts (I hope you know we are). This also means its time to dive right into your projects.

OnTrack tasks

Please start working on Task 6.x.

For Task 6.2, this is an update of the company report and project submissions to be added by the 21st to allow time to compile- more information will be coming but:

This will be worked on collaboratively on GitHub by submitting .md PRs to team folder in branch: task6.2/company-report-project-updates

This will include discussion on testing and data strategies and Software Requirement Specification documents, along with a project update

For D/HD aiming students, there are 4 tasks that due on the same day on Sun 24/04/2022 - please be aware of this and plan accordingly

Company tasks

If you are interested in Leadership, check out the Leadership Conference. The sign up form is here

We know there are still some students who might have questions and don't feel comfortable asking, so we have made a Q&A form and questions will be answered all at once in a FAQ style post.

Please work on the relevant project repositories from the thoth-tech organisation on GitHub. Please do not pull or push to the original Doubtfire or SplashKit repositories - if you have the wrong repo, check out this guide

There will also be a Company wide meeting after Intra-Trimester Break (so be looking out for this). More information will come soon.

You should have seen the new Documentation Repo. If you have any questions, first person to reach out to is Documentation and they can answer your questions.

If the file is relevant companywide and for more than one trimester, it goes in the handbook repo

If the file is relevant to a product or project, it goes in the documentation repo

What you can expect

Area Leads will be jumping into project meetings this week to catch up on the progress and answer any questions.

From this point on the Area Leads will be taking a step back, first point of call for information is the Products Leads - they are eager to help out.

What we can expect

By now you should have:

• Received project epics
• Broken it down into user stories
• Trello boards filled out in depth with clear communication on what is happening - reviews were given last week
• Software requirements Specification (SRS)
• Discussed data requirements
• Discussed testing requirements
• Have documented your work and progress
• Had your first retro
• Feel confident in what you are doing - if you do not REACH OUT
• Upskilled

We will expect the teams are working on:

• Data and Testing strategy templates filled out this week ready to present in company report
• Beginning work on projects if all up to date (this will be different for all teams)
• Continuing your leadership/cohort contributions (D/HD students)

Thank you for all your continuing work. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Delivery and Product leads first. For more serious enquires the Area Leads. Have a great week!
