After completing the mini agile sprint before this project, as a group we knew that we needed to spend more time on the planning process this time around. We spent most of Day 1 whiteboarding different app ideas, writing out our CRUD operations, wireframing, etc. and decided on the most flushed out idea that we had.

Once we had our project idea, we split up roles/tasks, and wanted to make sure to specify which features team members/pairs would be responsible for from front to back. We also tried our best to modularize our functions in order to avoid multiple team members working on the same files, and worked off of separate branches and kept the master branch clean. We whiteboarded our to-dos at the start of each day and divided them up, and checked them off as they were completed.

There were certain features that ended up being more complicated to code than we had originally thought. Having standups every morning and evening helped us to reprioritize which features we wanted to spend time on and which to mark as optional.

On the morning of Day 4, we faced a ton of merge conflicts and had to resolve all the conflicts before we were able to move on. This was probably the biggest obstacle we faced during this process. We always made sure to resolve conflicts in pairs and not individually.
