# Co-Working

In this final lab you will be applying all the skills you have learned so far but in a distributed environment. You first step should be to locate a suitable co-working space that is convenient for you to commute to, this might be:

1. A suitable cafe near your house.
2. A cafe in the university such as the ones in the health buildings.
3. There is a co-working space on the ground floor of the the Alan Berry building.
4. There is co-working space in the council house building (The Wheelhouse).

Now you need to discuss with the rest of your team whether you will:

1. Start a new user story.
2. Complete a story you have already started.

Whatever option you choose, take the time to make sure all the tasks are as small as you can manage and are added to the Kanban board.

Now conduct your daily standup meeting with each person moving a task to the middle column, making it as _in progress_ and discussing any issues.

Agree on what time each day you will be scheduling your daily standup and the Scrum master should create a repeating meeting schedule. Remember the absolute last day of the sprint will be next Monday (there will be no lecture).

## Lab Support

Both lab tutors are available via MS Teams on Tuesday and wednesday 09:00-13:00. You can request audio or video calls or message them for support.

## Registers

The lab tutors will be monitoring the participation of the team members. If you participate in every daily standup (we can see the logs) you will be recorded as having attended both your weekly lab sessions.

## Recording the Demo

Next Tuesday you will need to find time to record and edit your 3 min video demo. This will need to start with the team logo. There are lots of suitable video editors including some that can be installed on your phone. Use this list to get you started:

- Macos / iOS: iMovie
- Windows: Movie Creator
- Linux: ShotCut
- Android: Adobe Premiere Clip

When the video is complete and the team are happy, upload this to your team area in MS Teams.

## Returning the Kits

One member of each team signed for the kit at the start of the module. Once the video as been created and uploaded please dismantle the kit, check the inventory and return the kit to the lab supervisor at the start of your final lab session (Wednesday or Friday).

## Continuing Professional Development

Towards the end of the sprint you should review your last professional development plan and identify which of the three skill areas you have improved and how you did this. Finally reflect on your experiences and skills and identify a final list of three skill areas you feel you would like to work on before you start your first job or return on the Masters programme.

## Uploading the Reflective Report

The deadline for the reflective report is in May, after the Disssertation submission however you may decide the submit this early whilst things are still fresh in your mind. If you submit the report before the end of the semester you will get your final (provisional) module mark the following week.
