The weekly blogging comprises 35% of the portfolio mark.

A specification for the portfolio assessment will be made available in coming days.

Weekly Blogging Topics

You don’t have to write on these topics specifically, they are just prompts if you’re not sure where to start. You can blog about anything!!

...

  • How is Sprint 2 progressing? As a team how are you functioning now you have a scope and deadline?

  • How well do you think you planned for this sprint? What hasn’t gone to plan, and why?

  • With all this rain it’s easy to forget that the sun and blue sky are still there hidden away! Share a nice photo of a sunrise or sunset from your camera roll. Here is Nick’s one - a photo of a sunset in Broome, WA.

Week 5

No blogging this week since the portfolios are due!

Week 6 - Wordless Blog

Since it’s flexibility week, rather than asking you to write, the blog post for this week will be slightly different.

A picture tells a thousand words. Share a picture or series of pictures that encapsulate your week’s reflection. (You are welcome to do a written post as well if you want of course)

Week 7

  • How is Sprint 3 progressing? How are you finding learning new technical skills and creating an application?

  • Do you feel you’ve improved as a team from Sprint 2 and learned from your previous mistakes?

  • If you had 24 hours left to complete the Sprint, what would the thing you focus on be?

Week 8

  • In the final Sprint, what are you most looking forward to achieving or working on?

  • What is one thing you want to change between now and the end of the project? (Can be about yourself, your team, how work is done)

  • Which team role are you? (see the lecture slides on Team Dynamics)

Week 9

This is the last blog post for the course!! (you don’t have to do a blog in Week 10 since the portfolios are due)

  • Reflect on the goals you set out to achieve in Week 1. Have you worked towards achieved them? How did they change as the course progressed?

  • Look back on what you thought the biggest challenge would be - was it that or something else?

  • What have you learned from the course? Pick 2 or 3 key things to talk about.

...

  • What are you most excited to continue learning about in future courses?

  • Include a picture of something - can be anything.

Well done on making it to the end of Week 9 - we’re almost there!!
