Govhack Closing Thoughts

Project Mission Statement

Laws and plans are being created and changed all the time without the people of the nation even being aware. There should be a way to be notified when something close to your heart is about to be decided. That is where our App comes in. Put in your topics of interest and when an issue around that topic comes up then you will be informed and then there is the opportunity to engage with government to mould the country and area that you live in.

The biggest takeaway was definitely the efficiency which was capable with a rigid development process in place. 

My team, consisting of teachers, graduates, and current students of Dev Academy, have a software development process engrained deeply into their work ethic. I’m familiar with the principles of agile and scrum, but this was the first time that everyone in a group of mine has followed the process at every stage of development.

The process became crucial for effective communication between our 3 sub-teams, which were:

Front End

Back End

Notification Delivery

My Roles

Front end wireframes and mockups

Coding the front end designs
