Team Formation , Introduction & Team Rules
Reflection: I went into this week feeling both excited and slightly uncertain. University group projects do not always go smoothly, and I knew that the quality of our team dynamic would determine the quality of our final output. What reassured me quickly was how organised everyone was from the start. Nobody was passive — everyone had something to contribute. Taking on the Technology Lead role meant I immediately started thinking about what stack we would use, what our constraints were, and how to make technical decisions that the whole team could understand, not just developers. That balance between technical depth and team communication became a theme throughout the entire project.
User Research, Personas and User stories
Reflection: As Technology Lead, user personas are not always where my mind naturally goes. I am more comfortable thinking about APIs and database schemas. But this week shifted my perspective. When I sat down to design the backend data model for the FAS, I kept coming back to Gary and Fairy. What data does Gary actually need to see? How quickly does Fairy need to be able to submit? User research made my technical decisions better. The decision to implement Redis for faster response times, for example, was directly motivated by wanting Fairy's experience to feel instant and frictionless. That connection between user need and technical choice is something I now carry into every project.
Teamwork Engagement and Management
Reflection: Managing a team is different from working in one. As Technology Lead, I was not just responsible for what I built — I had to make sure my technical decisions made sense to non-technical teammates, and that I was not pulling the project in a direction that suited me personally but did not serve the team's goals. I learned quickly that engagement is not automatic. Some team members are naturally vocal; others need to be drawn in. I made a point to ask quieter members directly for their views during meetings, especially on technical decisions that would affect everyone's workload.
Five Benefits and Challenges of Working Together
Reflection: • Diverse skills in one team: Having a UX lead, researchers, a technology lead, and presenters meant no single person was stretched too thin. •Shared accountability: Knowing your teammates depend on you raises the quality of your own work. • Creative collision: When different perspectives meet, better ideas emerge than any one person would have produced alone. • Faster problem solving: When I hit a technical question, I could draw on the research team's findings rather than starting from scratch. • Stronger final output: The presentation we produced was better than anything any one of us could have built individually.
The Fundamentals of Creative Thinking and Problem Solving
Reflection: I tend to think in systems — I gravitate toward architecture and structure. This week reminded me that the best technical architecture means nothing if it is solving the wrong problem. Creative thinking is not just for designers or researchers; it is essential for engineers too. The most creative idea I brought to the table this week was suggesting that our system should serve three completely different user types — students, lecturers, and admins — each with their own tailored interface. Rather than building one generic form, we would build three distinct experiences that all fed into the same data layer. The team adopted this and it became one of the defining features of our approach.
