Research direction

Open the linked coursework issue #2 to understand the large chat application ticket, then review the planning board where the smaller tickets should be created. Done means the work is split into prioritised tickets, each estimated at no more than three hours, with required and skippable work identified within the 16-hour project limit.

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.
