Why are we doing this?

If you want to graduate, you've got to join a cross functional Agile team building a full stack web application over four weeks.

Find the entry and exit criteria for the Launch module and review it.

To prepare:

  1. Read the curriculum! What does it tell you about Final Projects?
  2. Grab the starter kit and get a version deployed and running (there are guides on the curriculum to help you, and there's a wiki on the starter kit with all the common problems.)
  3. Attend a Merge Conflicts workshop
  4. Read up on small scoped feature branching
  5. Take a look at some successful Final Projects; look at their project boards and especially notice velocity -- you should be opening a small PR at least once a day during final projects, not one a week.
