Summer Internship: Week 6

Week 6:

Current Week Objectives - Attend Sprint Review/Planning, complete stories, write career interest statement and shadow remaining team members

This week marked the end of the current Sprint. We attended Sprint Review as a team to inform the managers of the project, and the principal what the progress of our release is. We had no demo to present at the end of this release. I volunteered to run the demo at the end of the next Sprint (end of July) to gain experience leading a Sprint Review.
After Sprint Review, we had a four hour long Sprint Planning meeting to create stories necessary for the completion of the release from the requirements document.
This week, we were informed that if we are interested in coming back to work for Vanguard after our internship ends, we should write a career interest statement about what we want to do long-term and how we would fit into the program. I expressed my interest in returning back in the TLP (Technical Leadership Program). The TLP offers three eight month rotations around the company, gaining experience in different positions. They also install leadership knowledge through meetings and experience in the program.
Hours Worked: I completed a total of 39.2 hours during my sixth week (June 30th - July 4th).

Next Week Objectives - Next week I should have Job Description document I am typing up about all the IT positions in my team completed.

Key Lessons Learned/New Skills Acquired - Learned how to write better J Unit tests and more about JAXB
