PSW

🎯 Project Overview

This project was developed as part of a university course in Software Engineering, with a strong emphasis on team collaboration, agile practices, and real-world software architecture. The goal was to simulate the experience of working in a professional development team, building a functional system for a fictional travel agency.

👥 Team Structure & Workflow

Our team included 16 developers, divided into sub-teams for:

• Backend
• Frontend
• Testing
• Integration

We followed the SCRUM methodology throughout the project, which included:

• ✅ 4 sprints (3 weeks each)
• 📅 Weekly planning, syncs, and retrospectives
• 👤 Clearly defined roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, Dev Leads

🛠️ Tech Stack & Development Approach

The tech stack was chosen to reflect modern, real-world technologies:

• Backend: .NET (C#) with Entity Framework
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Frontend: Angular
• Architecture: Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• Testing: xUnit for unit testing and validation

💡 Key Learnings

Beyond the technical implementation, this project offered valuable experience in:

• Working within a larger team and managing a shared codebase
• Applying agile principles in a real development flow
• Writing clean, testable, and maintainable code
• Collaborating across roles and sub-teams to deliver working features on time

📌 Final Thoughts

This was more than just a university assignment — it was a hands-on introduction to professional software development workflows. It strengthened both my technical skills and my ability to work effectively in a structured, team-based environment.
