Meeting and task notes - 4/4

We are taking the things discussed in our client meeting and putting them into action.

Our next feature to be implemented is graph backtracking, where people can cancel the answer that brought them to a present state and go back to the previous one.  To me, this feature is just critical for the user experience.  If someone makes a mistake, or doesn't like where the process is leading them, they need to be able to take a bit of control and retreat to some previous state.  This feature doesn't seem like it will be too costly, and will add tremendous value to our application.

Tomorrow, the team and I will meet for a code review and clean up session.  We have a list of issues and things we intend to fix during this time.  Some of these are for cleanliness, others are for robustness.  For example, we are looking to change the way my code casts objects from MongoDB documents to POJO's tomorrow to be less dangerous.  This will also be a good opportunity for everyone to look more closely at the other components of the project so we can all better understand the other modules we may not have directly worked on.

For tonight and before the meeting tomorrow, I'm mostly working on the presentation materials for Monday.  I filled out most of the Business Model Canvas and made the technical slide.  Tomorrow, the team and I are going to use the BMC as a guide to making our one-sheet handout for Monday.  Additionally, we need to discuss presentation planning and format and rehearse it a bit.

One day at a time I guess.  Weekends are for psychology students.
