This project's aim was to give us an idea of how software development is organised in professional contexts. We followed the Scrum method, with eleven one-week sprints, each including multiple team meetings and one meeting with TAs.
During this project, we developed StepQuest, an Android application turning a step counter into a social challenge. Users can add friends, send them challenges, or create and follow routes using a GPS service. Each successful challenge earns the user some points, allowing players to compete with friends and users all over the world.
We coded all the Kotlin files in the StepQuest/app/src folder. We also implemented connectivity to a Firebase database. A large chunk of our workload was dedicated to closely following the Scrum method, through the maintenance of a Scrum board as well as two to three weekly meetings.
