This week, our team worked on developing our plan for prototype inspection day. We discussed our plan with our sponsor to make sure we were all on the same page. Our preliminary plan for our prototype involves demonstrating the Bluetooth connection between the customer mobile application and the merchant device, and the automatic transfer of JSON-formatted data between them, which can be modified on the device and sent back.

We also changed up some of our team roles this week! Shaun has assumed to role of Team Leader, and we’ve established roles for the agile software development part of the project. We also ordered and received the hardware we needed for the project.

For next week, we plan to spin up a rudimentary mobile application to start adding features and UI components. We will separate functionality into stories and assign developers to each, with daily stand-ups to report on our progress. In addition, we will start working with the hardware we received and decide on what is needed and will be used for this upcoming prototype.
