Tips & Tricks
Tips & Tricks
Start thinking about project ideas before the first day.
Make sure your project is focused.
You may have a great idea for a prototype that requires you to learn a totally new skill. Don’t let that scare you! This will be an amazing time to speed-learn a new skill.
Communication is key! Try using Discord, Slack, Whatsapp, or another group messaging platform, as well as video calling.
Designate someone as the product manager or leader, and make a game plan before starting on your project.
Document the process. Take screenshots of initial ideas or have a friend or relative take some photos of you while working.
