Urgent Enhancements, Improvements, and Bugs
Frontend Migration – AngularJS and CoffeeScript to Angular and TypeScript
Open Issues
Git and GitHub Training
During the onboarding process, it is crucial for students to gain a strong understanding of Git and GitHub, as these tools are integral to the project. Students will be required to create pull requests and collaborate effectively within the repository.
To support this, the capstone project includes valuable resources such as Git and GitHub training websites and demo videos, which are attached to this document. These resources are designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in version control and project collaboration.
Familiarity with Planner Boards and Agile Methodology
It is essential for students to become proficient in using planner boards and understanding agile methodologies. One of the recurring challenges this trimester has been a lack of consistency in updating task cards and associating pull requests with corresponding tasks.
To address this, students must ensure they actively maintain and update planner boards, enabling the team to stay aligned and contribute effectively. This practice will promote smoother collaboration and more efficient project progress.
Lessons Learned
Mentorship and Leadership
Mentors were very helpful and guided us well, making sure we completed our tasks on time. However, many students didn’t attend mentor meetings, which made it hard for them to understand tasks and finish them. Attending these meetings is important to stay on track.
Planner Board and Task Updates
Students didn’t know how to use the planner board properly, so tasks and cards weren’t updated on time. This caused delays and confusion in the team. Learning how to use the planner board will help everyone stay organized and work together better.
Frontend Tasks and GitHub Knowledge
Many students struggled with front-end migration tasks because they didn’t know enough about GitHub or how to use it well. This delayed their work. Training on tools like Git and GitHub is very important so that tasks can be done faster and more easily.
Skill Growth and Learning
To meet project needs, students need to improve their skills regularly. Learning tools, time management, and problem-solving are key areas to focus on.
Time Management
Many tasks were delayed because students didn’t manage their time well. Creating clear plans, updating progress, and sticking to timelines can help avoid this in the future.
Product Development Life Cycle
We continue to use Agile methodologies to deliver updates and new features for OnTrack. Our approach includes 2-week sprints focused on completing tasks, and weekly stand-up meetings to assess progress, share updates, discuss roadblocks, and assign new tasks via Teams Planner cards.
New Tasks
New tasks are assigned by the project mentor during the weekly stand-up meetings. Once you are assigned a task, be sure to assign yourself to the corresponding Teams Planner card and attach your draft or completed pull request when you begin work.
If you have an idea for a new feature or enhancement, schedule a meeting with the project mentor to discuss it. Upon approval, create a new card or backlog column in Teams Planner to track the task. If the feature is large, start researching the benefits and challenges, and create a Spike document, which can be committed to the documentation repository.
Spike templates are available in the documentation repository.
Definition of Done
A task is considered complete once it has been fully tested, functions as expected, and is
documented in a well-organized pull request. The task must also undergo peer review and be approved
by your mentor. Ensure that the corresponding Teams Planner card is updated and keep in
communication with your reviewer and mentor until your contribution is merged into the upstream
doubtfire-lms repository.
Task Review
Each pull request requires a mandatory peer review before a mentor review. After creating the pull request, contact a teammate to review it. Tag them as the reviewer in both the Teams Planner card and the GitHub pull request.
As a reviewer, ensure that you test the code by pulling the changes locally and reviewing the syntax, logic, and output. If any changes are needed, update the contribution and notify the reviewer. Once the updates are made, the pull request will be automatically updated.
After the peer review is complete, notify the mentor for their review. Once approved, you can submit the pull request to the upstream repository for the final review.
Testing
For frontend changes, test the functionality in the browser or run specification tests as needed. For backend changes, use browser interactions or tools like Postman to test functionality. Additionally, GitHub CI Actions will run tests automatically when changes are pushed.
In the pull request template, include detailed instructions on how others can test your changes. Always provide before-and-after screenshots to show the outcome of your modifications.
Branching Strategy
When starting a new contribution, fork all three thoth-tech repositories (deploy, web, and
API) to your GitHub profile. Create a new branch from the development branch of the relevant
repository. For example, for frontend migrations, you would create a branch from the doubtfire-web
development branch.
Follow the Branch Prefixes and Commit Message Format in the Contributing Guide when naming branches and creating commits.
Product Architecture
OnTrack is built using four main components:
- Frontend Client: Responsible for user interactions
- Backend API: Handles requests and serves data
- Database: Stores application data

Open Issues
Communication Between Project Groups
The company is still missing opportunities for collaboration and innovation, which have proven to be the greatest benefits of working together across teams. While this issue is largely personality-driven, fostering a culture of collaboration could set the company up for long-term success. Although no new initiatives for inter-team showcases or additional meetings were introduced this trimester, there has been notable progress in sharing problems and successes between teams. This has been especially beneficial as shared challenges often arise across projects, creating opportunities to reduce duplication in problem resolution.
Moving forward, it is recommended that the company formalise opportunities for collaboration, such as regular inter-team syncs or a shared problem-solving forum. Establishing a framework to encourage open discussions on successes, blockers, and lessons learned could streamline workflows, reduce redundancies, and spark more innovative solutions across teams.
Onboarding Information and Codebase Exploration
Despite efforts to improve onboarding this trimester, including creating more structured handover documents and documentation for tools and processes, onboarding remains a significant challenge. This is particularly evident during intensive trimesters, where time constraints amplify the difficulty of quickly bringing new team members up to speed. Some new team members struggled to fully explore and understand the existing codebase, leading to inefficiencies and delayed contributions.
While this issue has been partially mitigated through mentorship, onboarding sessions, and the introduction of the onboarding hub, there is still considerable room for refinement. The onboarding hub represents a step in the right direction, but further efforts are needed to improve its structure and content. Future cohorts would benefit from more organised repositories, clear and up-to-date developer guides, detailed setup instructions, and practical walkthroughs of key projects. Prioritising onboarding improvements will ensure new contributors can make meaningful contributions early in their engagement with the company.
Task Review Bottlenecks
The process of requiring two peer reviews and a mentor review before marking tasks as complete, while rigorous, led to a backlog of tasks awaiting review. This created bottlenecks, particularly toward the end of the trimester, leaving many tasks in progress but not officially completed. Future teams could address this by re-evaluating the review process, potentially relaxing the requirement for smaller tasks or creating a more structured review schedule to avoid delays.
Lack of Strategic Vision
One of the key challenges faced by the company is the absence of a cohesive strategic vision guiding the development efforts. While many contributors are engaged in coding or creating projects, these efforts often lack alignment with the company’s broader goals and objectives. Instead, projects are sometimes undertaken or showcased without a clear understanding of their long-term value or impact on the company’s mission. This results in inefficiencies and a lack of focus on delivering meaningful outcomes.
The implementation of analytics features represents a step in the right direction toward adopting a more strategic, data-driven approach. Analytics tools can provide invaluable insights into user behaviour, engagement patterns, and areas for improvement. By leveraging these insights, the company can prioritise efforts that align with user needs and organisational objectives.
Future contributors should consider further integration of analytics features on the SplashKit website and actively use the data to guide decision-making. Ethical data practices should also be firmly established to maintain trust and transparency. Emphasising strategic planning and the use of data-driven methodologies will help the company focus its resources on impactful projects, setting a clear path for sustained success.
Lessons Learned
The Importance of Collaboration
This trimester highlighted the transformative value of collaboration across teams. While individual teams often achieved significant progress, the most exciting and innovative contributions emerged when teams worked together. Sharing successes and challenges across teams not only led to creative problem-solving but also reduced redundancy and inefficiencies. However, fostering this collaborative culture requires active effort and leadership. Future cohorts should focus on strengthening inter-team communication and creating opportunities for shared problem-solving sessions or showcases to maintain momentum and innovation.
Refining Onboarding Practices
Onboarding remains one of the most critical and challenging aspects of the capstone program. This trimester saw improvements through enhanced documentation and the onboarding hub, but the process still needs refinement to address the varying learning styles and technical backgrounds of incoming contributors. Clearer documentation, better-organised repositories, and a structured series of onboarding sessions tailored to different experience levels can significantly improve the onboarding experience and reduce time to productivity.
Strategic Alignment is Key
A major lesson this trimester was recognising the need for a clear, strategic alignment of projects with the company’s long-term goals. Some contributions lacked a direct connection to the broader objectives of the company, with efforts sometimes focused more on showcasing individual skills rather than driving the company’s mission forward. Initiatives like integrating analytics tools to make data-driven decisions are a step toward addressing this, but a cultural shift is needed to ensure all work aligns with company priorities. Future cohorts should emphasise the importance of aligning their efforts with the company’s vision, using metrics and strategic planning to guide their contributions.
Balancing Innovation with Execution
The trimester demonstrated that while innovation is critical, it must be balanced with the execution of foundational tasks. Some projects focused heavily on experimentation, which, while valuable, sometimes came at the expense of completing core functionality or addressing immediate needs. Future cohorts should strive to balance creative exploration with meeting the practical requirements of the company, ensuring that innovative ideas are grounded in tangible outcomes.
Documentation is an Ongoing Process
This trimester reinforced the lesson that good documentation is a continuous, collaborative effort. While significant progress was made, gaps in documentation still caused delays and inefficiencies. Future contributors should be encouraged to document as they go, treating it as an integral part of their workflow rather than an afterthought.
Product Development Life Cycle
New Tasks
In SplashKit, individuals are encouraged to take ownership of tasks by assigning themselves to cards. Generally, you are free to assign yourself to any card unless explicitly noted otherwise. To ensure clarity and alignment with project goals, the process for creating and assigning new tasks is as follows:
- Identify a Problem or Opportunity: If you notice an area for improvement or have an idea for a new feature, discuss it with a mentor. This can be done during stand-ups, team meetings, or direct one-on-one communication with the mentor.
- Approval Process: Once the problem or opportunity is discussed, the mentor will evaluate its relevance and feasibility. If approved, either you or the mentor will create a card in Planner (located in Teams) to outline the task’s scope and requirements.
- Assign Yourself to a Task: After the card is created, you can assign yourself to it. Ensure you fully understand the task’s objectives and any dependencies before starting work.
- Collaborate if Necessary: For larger or complex tasks, coordinate with other team members to determine if the task can be shared or requires input from multiple contributors.
Key Clarifications:
- New tasks should always align with the trimester’s priorities and company objectives.
- Avoid creating duplicate tasks by checking the project board or consulting with teammates.
This refined process ensures tasks are effectively prioritised, assigned, and executed while maintaining a clear workflow and open communication.
Definition of Done
A task is only considered fully done once it has been completed, submitted as a pull request, and reviewed by two other students who approve it (see below). Once a mentor reviews it, it may be considered fully complete or potentially moved back to “doing” if deemed unsatisfactory.
Reflection: While this process aims to maintain a high standard of quality and accountability, it has become apparent that the volume of pull requests often outpaces the capacity for reviews. This creates a backlog where many tasks remain “in progress” by the end of the trimester, awaiting review. To address this, it is recommended to revise the process to ensure timely reviews, such as implementing a structured review schedule, assigning specific reviewers for each task, or reducing the number of mandatory peer reviews to one in certain cases. Encouraging a culture of prioritising task reviews as part of daily workflows may help alleviate this bottleneck and increase the number of tasks marked as “completed” within the trimester.
Task Review
Two mandatory peer reviews must be completed before the mentor review. Once a pull request is created:
- Contact a Reviewer: Reach out to a teammate for a review and, upon agreement, tag them under the Teams Planner card and GitHub pull request as the reviewer.
- Reviewer Responsibilities: Review the code by:
- Checking syntax, logic, and output.
- Pulling the changes onto your local machine to test functionality.
- Feedback Process: If the reviewer requests changes:
- Update the contribution based on the feedback.
- Notify the reviewer once changes are committed and pushed. This will automatically update the pull request, eliminating the need to create a new one.
- Completion of Peer Reviews: Once two peer reviews are completed and the contribution is deemed correct, the pull request can be moved to the “Mentor Review” column.
Watch this tutorial video by Satika Jayawardena for a step-by-step guide on creating and reviewing pull requests.
Once the pull request is in the “Mentor Review” column, a mentor will review the work. If satisfactory, it will be marked as complete and moved to the current sprint’s “Complete” column. If additional changes are needed, the task may be moved back to “Doing” for further refinement.
Reflection: The current process ensures quality and collaboration; however, it often results in delays due to the high volume of tasks awaiting review. To improve efficiency:
- Encourage a structured schedule for reviews.
- Promote accountability among team members for timely reviews.
- Streamline the review process for smaller or less complex tasks by requiring only one peer review before the mentor review. These changes could help reduce bottlenecks and ensure more tasks reach completion within the sprint timeline.
