[CRJ11] RealWORKS

This week’s material was supplemented by The Art of the Approach course on RealWORKS, the University’s career training portal. On the course, I worked through the topics of CV writing, opportunity spotting, researching employers, building a LinkedIn profile, and Cialdini’s principles of persuasion.

[CRJ10] Agile Practice

This week’s learning material explored the Agile manifesto and values, the process of envisioning after idea generation, and concepts related to effort estimation.

While taking notes, my thoughts often went back to compare this knowledge with my personal experience of Agile; trying to examine how close the teams I have worked in came to aligning themselves with its values and principles.

[CRJ7] Version Control

Plenty of ground was covered over week 7. While the weekly materials were centered on version control, our cohort kicked off the second rapid ideation session.

[CRJ6.1] Interim Retrospective

As we have arrived at the middle of the first module of the Indie Games Development course, I went through my blog entries so far to reflect on my progress. Points of interest are split into start – stop – continue items as outlined by the Agile Alliance (Agile Alliance 2015).

[CRJ5] Reflection

The week’s challenge activity has been to categorise entries in the reflective journal according to the five key skill domains – Dispositional, Effective, Interpersonal, Cognitive and Procedural (Parker 2020).
