During my internship I tried to apply the agile methodology. This meant having 2 times per week (wednesday and saturday) feedbacks on latest progress with my technical supervisor Frank and other fellow front-end intern Elinor. Not too late after the internship began, we setup a scrum-based workflow in Jira, where I could receive tickets from my other two supervisors - CEO Maha and security administrator Vasilios. Before that, I didn't necessarily have strict deadlines unless it was especially mentioned during a meeting, however the workflow felt more like sprints of 2 weeks. I've also kept more personal ToDo list on my computer locally where I divided the tickets from Jira in bite-sized steps.
Before starting the internship I knew it is a must to better understand the product in order to comprehend the big picture and thus the final goal. I started by doing a functionality research. This meant deeply analyzing and writing down each of the functionalities available in the ribbon bar.
