Why are we doing this?

If you want to graduate, you've got to join a cross functional Agile team building a full stack web application over four weeks.

Here's the entry and exit criteria

To prepare:

1. Read the syllabus! What does it tell you about Final Projects?
2. Grab the starter kit and get a version running on render (there are guides on the syllabus to help you, and there's a wiki on the starter kit with all the common problems.)
3. Attend a Merge Conflicts workshop
4. Read up on small scoped feature branching
5. Take a look at some successful Final Projects; look at their project boards and especially notice velocity -- you should be opening a small PR at least once a day during final projects, not one a week.
