Sprint 1 ‐ Planning

Project Approach

The approach to the online career services system will differ depending on the type of the users:

1. Students/Candidates can create an account on the portal. They can log into their account, build/upload their resume, browse through the job board, apply to positions, and track their applications.
2. Employers can create an account on the portal. They can log into their account, generate, and modify job postings, update the status of the postings, browse through the candidates who have applied for a particular posting, view their resume, and select candidates for an interview.
3. Admins are super users where they can manage all the user profiles – Employers and Candidates. They can update job postings and the status of the job postings.

The project will last 4 weeks, and the development process will be an adapted version of Agile with an iteration every week. Sprint 1, i.e., the first is dedicated to setting up the development environment. The sprint cycle will be followed from Sprint 1 to Sprint 4. At the end of each iteration, clarifications of user stories will be done, which will be developed in the next iteration. The sprint cycle that will be followed in the project:
