You must complete and deploy a chat application. You have two weeks to complete this.

It must support at least the following requirements:

• As a user, I can send add a message to the chat.
• As a user, when I open the chat I see the messages that have been sent by any user.
• As a user, when someone sends a message, it gets added to what I see.

It must also support at least one additional feature.

Why are we doing this?

Learning about deploying multiple pieces of software that interact.

Designing and implementing working software that users can use.

Exploring and understanding different ways of sending information between a client and server.

What is the purpose of this assignment?

We always have more ideas than we have time. You won’t be able to build every possible feature in the chat application you’re building this sprint. It’s important to be intentional about what we prioritise.

Learning about prioritisation will help you prepare for a workshop on this.

Why are we doing this?

The “Write and Deploy Chat Application Frontend and Backend” ticket is too big to be useful.

We can’t meaningfully plan a 16 hour ticket, we can’t easily tell if we’re struggling and need help, and it doesn’t help us understand what is important and what we should skip if we run out of time.

Split it into smaller tickets which each won’t take more than 3 hours to complete. Prioritise them:

• Which do you need to do first?
• Which are absolutely required?
• Which ones could you skip if you ran out of time?

Bear in mind you only have 16 hours to do this project. It’s ok to decide not to do some of the requirements. But you should be intentional about which ones you skip. e.g. it would not be ok to skip adding the ability to send messages. A chat application doesn’t make sense without being able to send messages.
