The project journal is a writing tool for students to document their ideas, goals, and progress in a low-stakes manner. Each entry requires individual submissions detailing sprint activities, team meeting outcomes, reflections, and progress on tasks, with a focus on content rather than grammar. Late submissions are not accepted, and entries must include specific elements like meeting highlights and retrospective evaluations.
