Project Name: Shopping Trifecta

Project Description: Selling burgers to the masses online

This document describes our team social contract for this project

Roles:

  • Taskmaster
  • Gitmaster
  • Testmaster

Daily process:

  • Morning standup started by yesterday's Taskmaster
  • New roles assigned (by yesterday’s Taskmaster)
  • Yesterday? Today? Obstacles? (by today’s Taskmaster)
  • Program on assigned tasks
  • Record issues that are non-blocking and discuss right after lunch at re-group meeting
  • Bring up any blocking issues after 15 minutes of spinning your wheels
  • After lunch, have re-group meeting where we check-in with blockers, status updates and plan for EOD merge
  • Immediately prior to end of day make applicable PRs, review each other’s code and merge into master

Team expectations:

  • We will keep work on nights and weekends to a minimum. Respecting flexible hours and each others’ preferred schedules.
  • Slack, don’t tap! This will help avoid interrupting a teammate’s train of thought
  • We will assign tasks vertically (instead of horizontally); None of us will specialize in terms of front-end and back-end code
  • Pairing will be used when we are stuck on a problem, but we will largely be working independently
  • Don’t interrupt - raise your hand; Share the mic
  • Disagree often and discuss - argue infrequently
  • Message the group when you change what you are working on

Issues:

  • If you are stuck:

    • Don’t struggle for more than a half-day
    • Bring up the issue at the next stand-up
    • Get help from teammates
    • If necessary, submit a help ticket

  • If the group is divided on a certain decision we will take the following steps:

    • Take 10-15 minute break
    • Give everyone the floor for 2 minutes to explain their position
    • Find a compromise
    • If no consensus is found, escalate to a fellow or instructor

  • If you are frustrated

    • Take a walk or get some water
    • Hold a quick stand-up meeting, or bring frustrations up in scheduled stand-up
    • Give the frustrated person the floor for a couple of minutes to talk it out
    • Discuss potential solutions, careful to listen and avoid interruptions
    • Bring in a 3rd party (e.g. fellow, instructor) to mediate if you feel too frustrated
