Declaration

The concept of this repository is straightforward. My goal is to establish guidelines for team collaboration and for events such as Hackathons, where we adopt agile methodologies to accomplish tasks effectively while humanizing processes, not only in the technical sphere but also in the social aspects of teamwork.

Here, you will find all the necessary resources related to team collaboration, hackathons, SCRUM methodologies, as well as the preparation, development, and deployment of digital products.

  • Guidelines for initiating a hackathon-style project without prior research in relation of Design Thinking and User-Centric Design.

  • The goal is to develop a flexible, adaptable framework rather than a rigid structure, making the application of these concepts optional/dispensable or applied when more convenient/plausible.

  • Insights from previous experiences, additional knowledge, tools, and technologies are collaboratively shared throughout this project.
