Development Plan

This project was planned using Jira. MVP user stories were established and given story points. We completed stories in daily sprints using Scrum.

Each team-member worked off git feature branches, and pushed to the dev branch on feature completion. Changes were reviewed and pulled up to the main branch before deployment.

The data is stored in a document database (MongoDB) due to it's relative simplicity. The back-end routes and schemas are viewable here.
