Week 2 Report: Engineering Department

Impact Overview

The Engineering Department has advanced the groundwork for the T.A.S.K.S. initiative by completing an initial assessment of the current infrastructure and gathering detailed requirements. Efforts are now directed toward drafting the system architecture proposal and preparing for the next phase of development.

Progress Highlights

• Initial System Assessment:
  • Completed a comprehensive audit of existing infrastructure with contributions from Devin Park.
  • Identified potential integration points for T.A.S.K.S. components.
• Requirements Gathering:
  • Collaborated with Music and Support teams to finalize system requirements.
  • Documented key use cases and user stories to guide technical development.
• T.A.S.K.S. Architecture Proposal:
  • Drafting has begun under the leadership of Casey Han, with early focus on scalability and modularity.
  • Input from Morgan Fields has refined database structure plans and API requirements.

Team Performance

• Active Team Members:
  • Casey Han: Delivered a preliminary outline for the T.A.S.K.S. architecture and coordinated team efforts.
  • Morgan Fields: Provided critical input on backend optimization and integration feasibility.
• New Team Members:
  • Devin Park: Completed onboarding and contributed a detailed framework for the system audit.
  • Samir Khanna: Began creating a reusable component library for the T.A.S.K.S. frontend.
• Challenges:
  • Resource allocation remains a concern, as multiple projects compete for team bandwidth.
  • Some cross-functional dependencies require further clarification.

Key Success Metrics

• Progress on System Assessment: Achieved full documentation of existing infrastructure.
• Architecture Proposal: Drafting is 50% complete and on track for finalization in Week 3.
• Collaboration Quality: Effective engagement with Music and Support teams during requirements gathering.

Performance Metrics

• System Reliability Metrics: Infrastructure assessment revealed a 95% uptime baseline.
• Sprint Completion Rate: Week 2 sprint completed successfully, with 92% of planned tasks delivered.
• Bug Resolution Time: Resolved all reported issues within an average of 36 hours.

Next Steps

• Finalize the T.A.S.K.S. architecture proposal in Week 3.
• Begin detailed technical specification drafting and create an implementation roadmap.
• Allocate resources to balance Week 3-4 priorities, addressing any remaining team bandwidth concerns.

The Engineering Department remains on schedule, with early contributions from new team members enhancing overall progress. Integration efforts with other departments are building momentum for the next development phases.
