Overview

Today we will apply concepts discussed in a Jira.

The “Cookbook Companion” App

The goal is to create a simple mobile app that helps home cooks find and save new recipes. The app should allow users to:

  • Search for recipes by ingredient, cuisine, or meal type.
  • View a recipe’s ingredients, instructions, and nutritional information.
  • Save favorite recipes to a personal collection.
  • Post their own recipies with others.
  • Leave reviews and ratings for recipes.
  • Follow other users for new recipes.

Tasks

  • Create a project for each team on Jira
    • Set up the new project using either a Scrum or Kanban template
    • Share a link to your project on Blackboard
  • Populate the Backlog
    • Work together to brainstorm and write user stories.
    • Start with the app conceptualization above.
    • Are there other issues that should be added?
  • Organize and Prioritize
    • Arrange the stories in your backlog using one of the prioritization methods discussed today.
