3. List your teams’
Engineering Skills

4. Why?

5. Because: you should
only build using
what you already know.

6. Why?

7. Because in 6 months,
there is not enough time
to learn something new.

8. Example: if your team is not
skilled at Android development,
don’t attempt an app.

9. Example: if your team has
never built a web app, do not
attempt a complex web app.

10. From our past experience, teams
that break this rule spend a lot of
time learning the technology, and
less time building …

11. … Leading to poor
performance in the batch.

12. Build using what you
already know.

13. So first, list what you
know.

14. Format to list:

15. Submit a spreadsheet:

16. Technology

… … …

17. Also write down your insight
in your timeline entry or as
part of your submission.

18. Insight = new learning, action items
or other todo tasks.
All because you
performed this task.

19. Insight pointers: if your
team is weak in all areas,
how will you proceed?

20. Insight pointers: if your team is
strong in one area and weak in
another, which technology domain
will you focus on?

21. Insight pointers: does your
technology domain influence
your business domain? How?

22. Don’t forget to check
the Rubric for pointers.
