Getting Started

The project groups were posted to Ed. If you were not present in class, or don’t remember your group assignment, check out Ed.

Please read through the entire set of Getting Started instructions first, before performing any of the steps! Follow the instructions very closely, the setup is different from how we handle individual assignments.

As an individual, you will need to:

  1. Click through the GitHub Classroom link.

    Unlike past assignments, this is a “Group” assignment in GitHub classroom. When you click through you will be presented with the option to join an existing team or create a new one (unfortunately we can’t initialize the teams automatically). Select your team if it already exists, or if not, please create it. Please use the names (VT mountains) I specified if you are creating a team. Note that these names are just for organizational purposes, they do not have anything to do with what you ultimately choose to call your application.

    Everyone needs to click through! Doing so will add you to the corresponding GitHub team, giving you access to your team’s repository. Changing GitHub classroom teams seems to be an open issue, so please be careful at this step.

  2. Review the Scrum Guide, and the different roles, meetings and artifacts that make up the Scrum process.

  3. Start thinking through (and discussing with your team if possible) your application’s major features. Review the User Stories included in the proposal for your project (and others).
