F26 CS 449 / 649 Week 6

Lecture

Get together with your team to discuss the features again to see if there are any modifications you'd like to make. Write a short paragraph (100 words max) about the modifications. If you didn’t make any changes, explain why the original features still meet your needs and how they support your goals. Reflect on whether each feature aligns with your team’s objectives, usability, and overall vision. Highlight any aspects that were particularly effective or well-designed, and note why they didn’t require adjustment. This reflection helps reinforce understanding of your design choices and provides clarity for future iterations or decision-making. Even without changes, documenting your reasoning ensures that everyone on the team is aligned and that the rationale behind maintaining the current features is clearly communicated, supporting transparency and shared understanding.
