About the process

Hi again everyone, hope you are doing just great there!

I am now going to tell you about our application development process and how it all has succeeded. Shortly put, our target was to design an teaching application for high-school students in co-operation with them and their teachers. During this process I found some new skills and talents not just from me, but as well from my teammembers. Besides this, I discovered also some features from myself that needs some practise in the future.

In the very beginning, inventing the idea of the application was a bit challenging, but after our group got the project started it was more easy to go on with the development work. I was working mostly on the planning, scheduling and marketing field during the process, which I find maybe most familiar subjects to me. The rest of the group was putting more energy to the technical and the raw coding work. What was (still, nowadays...) unexpected during the process was the fact, that agreeing and dealing with the deadlines in real world means a lot of work and needs lots of effort and commitment to the team from everyone. Scheduling and managing with time asked a lot of ability to prioritize and organize.

In my opinion, you can never can pay attention too much to the good service quality and the communication skills in all aspects of life, and this has to be mentioned here in software development, too. It was nice to find out during the process that our team had really problem solving way to co-operate with the customer with the touch of good marketing skills as well.

From this experience I learned a lot of useful skills for the future. One is leadership, how to lead team at some points. The other thing I learned was about the planning work and paying attention to the real needs of the customer and how to respond them in a correct way. Of course I learned some skills of coding too. Lastly, I have to admit I learned a bit to tolerate ambivalence and being calm with the upcoming deadlines. 

The thing I am most proud of in this project is that our team managed to co-operate well and

achieved the targets in time in the end. I have to mention the fact that we didn't know each other in the beginning of the work at all.

So here were some of my thoughts about our software development work, hope you had a nice time reading it!
