Posts categorized 'Reflection'

So, I used to post my reflections after my iterations are complete and I haven't been. Not because I haven't been doing any reflection, but because my iterations have been different and more on the fly now that things are wrapping up. So, now I will be posting my fogbugz queue and going over the big...

I can't even comment on how much I have learned in the past year. As far as how my project is going, it's going well... there are still a handful of things to be done. Partially because of scope creep and partially because "90% of the work is done with 10% to go" (I forget who said that to...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Honestly, I kid. I know I've been doing a lot of complaining lately ... and in my defense I have been pretty stressed. This is a huge responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I'm enamored by the idea behind the site. I'm in love with the design. I seriously can't wait to forward...

My poster now says "Iteration 7 of 9" with is a added comment in big black marker of "OMFG" underneath it. Ok, it's not that bad yet, however, I'm almost there. What's stressing me out right now is not the code, that part I can do, it's all the other stuff. The making sure 2430978...

That is the biggest thing I struggled with this iteration. It's hard for me to get in the face of consultants and make sure they are performing. I'm...

Hey folks, how are things? Things are awesome over here. Development is in full swing, a lot of things are done and in the woodworks. I'm really excited about this. I have found some great consultants to do work for us, I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can do. If they can't self document...

Iteration 3 has come and gone. (First of all, I'm hella sick today, in the office but not 100% here if you get my drift, so if I seem distant that's why. ) How do I think things went? Well, I had to stop mid-iteration and replace some thigs because some pre-reqs weren't completed. That has less to do...

Ok, so this iteration was a little more stressful. I have learned one valuble lesson (a lesson I have learned many times before) nothing is completed until it is TESTED TESTED TESTED. I ran into some issues with the nHibernate when I went to implement it with my controls I had scheduled. So when it came...

Well, here it is, my first post-iteration reflection. (I definitely rested over the weekend, so that's already taken care of). Looking back I'm generally happy about how things went. I got a lot done, the database is completed, Subversion installed (I want to keep my work as transparent as possible,...
