what’s next?
We are trying to be agile in evolving
our roadmaps. There’s a lot on the
plate but we shall be using user
feedback to prioritize features
Why an LMS ? Talk about how the idea came up and evolved
Why we built Shika the way we did.. Emotion - not featuresWhat’s important for us in Shika.. Rather in any product - simplicity, creating features that are actually useful, doing more with less
Build test -> comprehensive test -> Regression test…. Follow this loop
The team is a family of young minds. Apart from the code and the QA that took place there are a lot of other things that went into Shika.
The Team team has underwent a lot of pain (Yeah! The new QA process almost killed them :P ). Countless coffees, endless discussions and sleepless nights!
