This lab is to be completed as a team on the first visit of your industry mentor.
That may be Tuesday 1/28, Wednesday 1/29, Tuesday 2/4 or Wednesday 2/5 depending on your team.
Step 1:
You should have created a team repo (e.g. TEAM-t-5pm-a) during lecture on 1/28 or 1/29.
In that team repo, create a new file called industry-mentor.md
.
In that file put this at the top:
# Industry Mentor Interview, (date)
Dont literally write (date)
, but instead, put the date. :-)
You can do this directly on the master branch, and even right in the GitHub web interface if you want.
I suggest that you rotate through the team which team member is responsible for each of the following steps.
Step 2:
In this file, record the name of your industry mentor, and the names of all the members of your team that are present in lab.
Step 3:
Ask your industry mentor these questions, and record the answers:
- What company are they with
- How long have they been there
- What is their role (dev, ux, qa, pm, other)
Step 4:
Ask your industry mentor some of the questions that your team came up with in the exercise we did to create the team repo. Record their questions and a brief summary of their answers.
Some suggested topics:
- How you interact with customers to determine product requirements
- Testing
- Use of Version Control
- How a team functions together
- What a “retro” is
- What “sprint planning” involves
- How code goes from development into production
- What happens when bugs are discovered in the code
