Sprint Planning
We divided the project into sprints and held weekly sprint planning sessions. Each sprint involved:
Creating and refining user stories
Assigning tasks via Trello
Setting achievable sprint goals
Holding check-ins during class or virtually via Microsoft Teams
We made sure everyone updated their status at least twice a week and wrote clear commit messages on GitHub for team transparency.
