it begins

So my group had a formal kick-off meeting (or as the construction guys would say - ground breaking ceremony)
In under two hours, we were able to make a lot of headway, with the tasks split up amongst ourselves
( is this still the forming stage of Tuckman's model... or have we entered the performing stage already?)

We've agreed to go with an SMS interface and have set ourselves a task of having a rapid prototype ready by spring break. Ha! This better work or else I'll go back to one of my other Professors and tell him his agile software theory is not working (lol...)

Anyway, we're trying to see if we can have a very light version of the system available before spring break so that this can be tested during the trip to Brazil. We've created our use cases and the code is being worked on right now.

Sometime during the week, the Assured Labor team met with the project founders and another team working on the project from another class (the venture mentoring service group). It was a fun and relaxing evening. Whoever said "techies" are nerds? Well, you need to come meet people who are passionate about "Harry Potter" and those who are at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Time to get back to the "deliverables" for the week
