Project Plan For Milestone 3
Milestone 3 represents the final delivery of our project. The primary objectives are:
- Complete all remaining feature implementations (Gamification, Admin Tools, Reporting)
- Modify needed changes based on Milestone 2 feedback
- Ensure full deployment of web and mobile applications
- Finalize comprehensive testing coverage
- Prepare documentation and final presentation materials
All issues listed below are assigned to Milestone-3 in the GitHub repository.
Our team utilizes GitHub Issues for defining unit-level tasks and GitHub Projects for visualizing sprint status through Roadmap and Board views. For collaboration, we hold face-to-face meetings during Tuesday lab sessions and conduct weekly online update meetings every Thursday. Additionally, each sub-team (frontend, backend, mobile) organizes smaller collaboration sessions over the weekends to maintain steady progress.
Below are snapshots from our GitHub Projects board, illustrating how we visualize our roadmap and current sprint status.
This high-level view allows us to track the timeline of tasks and visualize their deadlines across the milestone sprints.
We utilize the board view to track the immediate status of tasks (Todo, In Progress, In Review, Done) during each development sprint.
