It is the time to start the journey. The first iteration for desktop application

February 23rd 2015 was a special day for JSPS team members. On 23rd we made the 1st step for the journey of life. This special day was the first day of first iteration on JSPS. Although it is jest the start of 3rd year project but it marked the beginning of the carrier as a software engineer. Up to second year in the degree we were undergraduate with least experience on software industry. 3rd year project is with a real client and we are to perform what the client need; that is what happens in the industry. As we have to move to the industry in next year getting ready to work on the industry is really important. Also it is important to give the best effort to make this project a success because it will bring us with good result on our degree and also it will be a good model to show our abilities and talents to the people in the industry.

23rd was the day allocated for the Curtin batch for the proposal presentation and we were given the time arround 11.45 AM. It was bit late when we were called to do the presentation. There was a panel with 4 lectures. So we explained the proposed system to the panel along with the iteration plan for the first iteration. Shiran  started the presentation with a little bit different start. It is unusually to have quotes in business presentation but our first slide was with a quote.

It made all panel members to take a look specially on our presentation. I think it made all the panel members to listen to our presentation with a high interest than we expected.Also he explained the background of the client and some impotent things related to the presentation. Going on with that I was the next person to come up in the presentation. After I giving a description about the presentation along with the explanation of the high level architecture I handed over the presentation to  Janitha. He explained requirements of the client along with the user stories and the plan of the project. Then it was the Poorna's turn to explain what we are planing to do in first iteration. With end of presenting the first iteration plan he winded up the presentation marking the start of first iteration which expected to complete on or before 16th of March.

I thought this quote will show how we should work...

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
