Our Initiative -

We are team Bhagirathi from the Samurai-2 batch of Masai School tried to make a clone of the lumen5 website. I’m writing this blog to explain our journey while doing collaborative work remotely.

We believe, “ Always there is a chance of improvement ”. So our team tries not only to clone the website but also to incorporate some additional functionalities so that it can be more user-friendly.

Our Agendas -

1. Breaking the whole work into the smallest divisions according to our strong zone.
2. Setting up the deadline for every individual.
3. Review the code when someone is unable to make the part prominently.
4. Regular commits in GitHub and 2 times stand up so that everyone is updated accordingly.
5. If some flaws are found in the original website, try to solve them as well.

Willing is not enough, we must do.

(- Bruce lee)

So, we thought of adding some extraordinary updates to our project and we make it happen.

Challenges -

1. Communication

Distance always matters for group work. As we are from different parts of India, miscommunications were the common challenges for us. But, we make it happen with the help of slack and WhatsApp

2. Collaboration

As we are using Git collaboration, initially we were facing some technical issues, but continuously co-ordinations, make things easier

These two challenges improve our abilities to be a good Team Player

Conclusion -

I would like to thank, all of my team members, Mangesh Landge, Deepak Hegde, and Milind Dev for their contribution. The first day, after getting the project, we thought, it was impossible for us, but

Everything is impossible, until it is done…

I’m feeling very proud to get such hard-working team members and also feeling very fortunate for being a part of Masai School.

Thank you for reading……..
