Sprint 1 — 19/01/26 - 25/01/26

This document describes our first Sprint of TB2 and reflecting on the project structure of TB1

Reflecting on the negatives of TB1

  • We met frequently, but conversations weren’t focused on sprint goals or deliverables.
  • We didn’t have a clear, coherent vision for the project’s direction.
  • Communication and coordination were weak; some teammates struggled to find appropriate tasks.
  • We didn’t fully understand our meta-project goal (providing feedback to TI on the development process).

How to succeed in TB2

  • Use the correct channels — the Client Liaison handles communications with the client.
  • Set clear deadlines, especially when others are blocked by your work.
  • Appoint a Project Manager to structure meetings and hold us accountable.
  • Hold weekly standups (Friday/Monday) to review progress and plan the next week.

Weekly agenda

  • Clarify with the client what feedback they want from us (crucial for our project).
  • Talal & Henry: investigate 3D-printed mounts for radar and camera to reduce data-collection errors.
  • Henry (PM): ensure meetings have an agenda and structure.
  • Talal: write meeting notes, upload to Docusaurus, and organise the repository.
  • Dan: replace the older visualiser and implement a camera tab/overlay on the TI Industrial Visualizer.
  • Alina: continue radar data collection and coordinate with the ML team on required data format.
  • Tom: combine micro-Doppler capture approach with Alina’s pipeline to find the optimal solution.
  • Michal: explore ML with Tom (classification) and assist with 3D printing.
