Group Project Milestones

Use these as the overall milestones you need to reach before Demo Day. Each one should be broken down as tasks to smaller pieces with a kanban board using agile principles.

REALLY

You want to bring to bear all the various self-reflective learnings y'all have made throughout...

  • "doing more thought up-front would have really helped"
  • planning is DOING
  • listening to what the instructors were telling us to do step-by-step would have saved us time
  • making sure everyone was moving along with their assigned tasks from the kanban board
  • doing honest standups and listening to others to ensure we are all moving forward
  • helping stymied/blocked team members sooner to keep us all moving
  • consulting instructors and getting navigation hints sooner
  • if a team member has problems, bringing it up to instructors ASAP to consult
  • don't let team dysfunction turn into emotional hurt, work it thru

Milestone Zero - 6-Spring

As a group, everyone get all 6 spring labs done, and into your personal Github Accounts. Do this quickly, as a group, ASAP. Clear with instructor before moving onto M1.

Milestone 1 - Document Phase

Decide on a series of features the project should have.

Build a One-pager, a Data Model doc, and work up some UX/UI mockup diagrams. The more planning done at this phase to the Data Model, the easier the subsequent phases will be. Tech stack will be

  • FrontEnd - VanillaJS first, and then, -> React
  • Middleware - Spring (via spring boot initialzr)
  • Backend - MySQL (with possible aws S3 storage for large assets)

What entities will your project manage on behalf of a User entity?? What operations will your app do to provide some capabilities to your User? Depending on your topic/app area, you may have entirely different operational ideas than other groups.

Milestone 2 - Data Model

Two different ways possible:

  • Go with "straight" SpringBoot/start.spring.io, create Entity beans, Controllers, Servies, DTOs etc.
  • Develop the JDL file to be used with jhipster. Carefully discuss the relationships between the entities.

Milestone 3 - Create Backend/REST Server

Use Spring Initializr or Jhipster to create a rest server backend in Spring.

Disable the Security beans so you can test the API without having to handle logins and/or JWT-type authorization/access to the data model.

Be sure to use MySQL for backend.

Milestone 4 - First Front End (FE)

Build a VanillaJS, simple front end to your REST Server. Show some lists of entities and some entity details. Use very simple CSS styling.

Add a simple posting mechanism for some entity.

Milestone 5 - Front End in React

Either mimic what jhipster is doing for the UX/UI (with login and JWT support; look for current_user in the typescript HTML templates in the JH front end). OR generate a from scratch React UI, that talks to the JH/Spring server/

Milestone 6 - Business Logic

Make the services etc, work like they should for your app's main User operations.

Milestone 7 - Demo Development

You’ll need to work ups demonstration of your project. The end-goal is to have a very polished, tight, and well-crafted demo showing what your software does. You want to demo for success, and working hard on a demo is great way to show off what you’ve been learning.

Milestone 8 - Get running on XO

Use our XO server to host your project so multiple people can access it at once. This can be very impressive on demo day.
