Your team will be expected to use Trello for the course project.
Your grade will be impacted on how well your use Trello throughout the
term. You will be expected to provide access to your instructor based
on the instructions they provide.
1) Trello Accounts and Board Creation
Each team member
must create a Trello.com account. Once that is done, select one member
who will then create a Trello Board with the following naming
convention:
20XXTT-SS-SWEN-101-TEAM-X-yourSuperCoolName
Where:
XXTT
represents the year and term (e.g. 201701
means academic year 2017 - Fall semester in calendar year 2017) SS
represents your course section number (e.g.
section 03
)
X
represents the group letter
you were assigned in CAPS
(e.g. group 'a' record as TEAM-A) yourSuperCoolName
is a mutually agreed original team name
Once the board is created, have all team members, instructor and FRESCAs added to your
board and confirm that everyone has access to it.
2) Setup Team Logistics
As
a team discuss meeting times. Then, create the following cards:
"Team Information" card
Each member adds comment to this
card with their: Name, Role, and at least TWO ways to be reached (SkypeID, cellnumber, etc.)
"Meeting Times" card As a team discuss and record ONE agreed time when the team is committed to meet outside of class. Also agree and document location.
"Meeting Process" card
Agree on how the meetings
will be held and who will do what (preparing agenda; taking turns as
scribe, time-keeper; transcribing action items to Trello, etc.)
"Weekly Status" card
Here you will capture a brief summary
of the team's weekly: High-level accomplishments, Risks/Issues and
plans to mitigate . A card should be created at the end of
each week and labeled with that
week's #. This column should also hold any "Meeting Notes". Label
these with the date the meeting was held.
All cards in this list should appear on reverse
chronological order (latest meeting/Week at the top).
Lastly note that other cards should be created
as a result of action items/risks identified during your meetings or
weekly status. Make sure to assign deadlines and member(s) who will be responsible for each card.
3) Other notes about using Trello
All team members should participate in the upkeep of the board.
Trello is pretty basic & largely straightforward to
use, but a good tutorial may be found Here.
