Client and team difficulties.

Actually our client is a programming savvy so I don't think that there is any situation where we don't understand her or she doesn't understand us. I think that the issue at the beginning was that our client thought that we have knowledge in creating high level mobile application. I think that our team's problem was with the technology, which is we don't have much experience in the outside world in creating functional programs that can be used in the industry. Expect from doing school assignments that are more useful in testing knowledge but not functionality. We did manage to come up with a different idea that our client agreed upon and thought that this will be a good start, and something that our client thinks that can be used as a good and functional substitution to the original idea. Agile was never a problem for us to understand and so is our client who actually showed a pretty knowledgeable details about agile and how a sprint is supposed to be handled, that for sure helped us a lot in managing our time and our stories. Also, I think that we are pretty much in the right truck regarding the team structure, each one of us knows his role and what he or she is supposed to do. Regarding the backlogs, I think that the problem here is that what we, as a team, came with the substitute idea for the original idea, we still not exactly sure what is the technology limits or our time limit. We are trying to avoid a situation where we will say that we will do some sort of a feature in the product but we would not be able to deliver that because our knowledge is limit or the time we have is limit; I’m pretty sure that our client is well aware of that issue and it looks like our client and we are managing to reach the middle ground. As I mention before, our client knows pretty much a lot when it comes to programming and to computer science, and she was using Agile back in the days, so I think that she knows all the policies, procedures, and the limits that the technology has, but not the limits that we, as students and programmers have.
