Reflections on Sprint 04
Sprint 04 was the second sprint in production phase. Overall we have made decent progress. We have had some problems in making the server-side stable and not break down constantly. Our OPS has done a lot of work to make servers stay up and stable. Then we had some difficulties impelemention a solution to prestashop and email and tried different providers and there seemed to always be some difficulties and problems in some aspects of it. In the end we decided to set up gmail and it has worked so far without issues.
There has also been great progress in testing and security sector. Our testers have created a myriad of different tests for our impelemented and soon to be implemeneted features. Security has studied and gathered information about security threats and solutions, like different scanning and security programs for those threats that are a danger to our Prestashop platform.
Challenges
As I already mentioned in the previous segment, we had some problems with server-side stability, but those were mostly resolved and our project seems to be stabile at the moment. We recognized some lack of communication and decided to increase meeting by adding one extra meeting to the end of the week to discuss status of the project.
Potential Solutions
Currently we don't have any serious problems that need solving.
Project Progress
Progress has been decent. Slightly behind the set schedule, but a many planned of the features are mostly implemented, just lacking in some departments and thus not completed. We need to work a little on these get them through the finish line.
What We Learned:
Not everything goes to plan and you have to adapt to the difficulties and problems which arise during the production. For example if servers are down and under fixing you need to find ways to work towards the goals of the project.

Conclusion
Development is going okay. Moving towards the goal steadily. Some aspects can be still improved.
