Team Fahrenheit

This document describes our team social contract for this project

Roles

  • Taskmaster
  • Gitmaster
  • Testmaster

Daily process

  • Morning standup started by yesterday's Taskmaster
    • New roles assigned (by yesterday’s Taskmaster)
    • Yesterday? Today? Obstacles? (by today’s Taskmaster)
  • Morning standup is deciding on tasks for the day, what to focus on, what blocking issues exist that are stopping others from progressing
  • Pair program on assigned tasks
  • Record issues that are non-blocking and discuss after lunch at re-group meeting
  • Bring up any blocking issues after 20-30 minutes of spinning your wheels
  • Share your code in Slack before pulling someone in, in case it’s an easy fix that just needs a second set of eyes
  • 1p - 230p EST lunch
  • At 2:30pm have re-group meeting where you check-in with blockers, status updates and plan for EOD merge
  • If no after-lunch meeting is needed, slack that information to your teammates
  • Immediately prior to end of day make applicable PRs, review each other’s code and merge into master

Team expectations

  • Each of us reserves the rights to our nights and weekends, and we have all been straightforward about when and how we can commit to working on the project
  • Coding after-hours is allowed, but continue to remain communicative
  • If you have a blocking issue, slack before interrupting another’s train of coding-thought
  • We will assign tasks vertically (full features rather than “all frontend” or “all backend”)
  • None of us will specialize in terms of front-end and back-end code
  • Don’t interrupt teammates
  • Be communicative

Issues

  • If the group is divided on a certain decision we will take the following steps:
  • Take 10-15 minute break
  • List out the pros / cons
  • Vote on it
  • If the vote is split, leave it up to the gods of chance and flip a coin
  • Absolute last resort is escalating to the project manager. We are all adults and can handle issues internally.

If you are frustrated

  • Take a walk or get some water
  • Talk constructively about actionable items (e.g. raise your hand instead of interrupting, let me learn and struggle until I ask you for help, etc.)
  • Bring in a 3rd party (e.g. fellow, instructor) to mediate if you feel too frustrated
  • Be an adult, you know how you best handle tilt.

Summary

  • Be an adult, don’t be a jerk
  • Practice “yes, and…” to build on each others’ ideas
  • Remain communicative
