Great job on getting Sprint 2 completed!
✅ Sprint 1 Feedback and Marks Released
Last week you should have received your feedback from your tutors (please ask your tutor if this is not the case). Your marks have now been finalised and should be viewable via Give . Please make a forum post if this is not the case.
🌤️ Deployment Costs
Please note that it is your own responsibility to manage your deployment costs. You can minimise costs by turning off services when you are not using them. Make sure to check the cost dashboard regularly so you are not getting charged.
This course only takes responsibility for the AWS Academy Learner Accounts which we supply (this will not require you to enter any payment informatioin). Unfortunately, any additional costs you incur will be your own responsibility.
🎥 Sprint 3 Introduction Video
There will be no lectures this week however Fethi has created a Sprint 3 Requirements video to help you understand what is required: Week 8_Video_Sprint 3 Requirements.mp4 . Please watch this before you start on the Sprint.
Don't forget that this Sprint involves a presentation during your Week 10 tutorial (please ensure that you attend it so you can receive the presentation marks). Unlike other Sprints it requires you to write a final report (make sure you can download it as a PDF ) which you will submit via the following Microsoft Forms link: https://forms.office.com/r/5DhGGJqPj4. The Sprint is due on Week 11 Monday 28 Apr. 5 pm .
🎨 Portfolio
You will be submitting your portfolio via this link as a PDF : https://forms.office.com/r/Cuz6KzB7A4
Note that there is a maximum of 4 pages excluding appendix. Please follow the page count as penalties will be given for exceeding the page count.
The portfolio is due in Week 11 Tuesday 29 Apr, 5pm.
Please ask on the forums if you have any questions!
Hope you had a good flex-week! We're now around 2/3 of the way through the course!
🛑 No Week 7 Lectures
There will be no lectures this week to give you more time to work on your Sprints.
📝 Sprint 1 Feedback and Marks
Your tutors have almost finished marking Sprint 1 and will be giving you your feedback in your tutorials (please message them if you'd like it earlier via MSTeams).
Please note that we will not be releasing marks yet as we are still standardising marking between tutorials. This will be released early Week 8.
🏃 Sprint 2 Deadline
Sprint 2 will be due this Friday at 5pm . Please make sure you submit on time as your tutor will be checking the dates on GitHub, Jira and Confluence etc.
If you're struggling, remember to prioritise!
We will give you more marks for functionality over deployment, so please focus on what is easier to get done (get the easy marks before you aim for the hard ones). Feel free to post on the EdStem forum if you have any technical/spec clarification questions and we will do our best to help.
If you have group members who have dropped out during Sprint 2, we will make arrangements (e.g. scaling, lenient marking) to reduce the impact.
🎨 Portfolios
While portfolios are not due until Week 11, I recommend starting them early (it's due only one day after Sprint 3) and ensuring you have enough contributions to your group that you can document for it.
I would encourage everyone to come to our lectures today in person in Mathews B:
Our Atlassian guests will also discuss job opportunities and you will have the chance to have one to one interactions with them.
