In the current Voyage, I've taken on the role of a web developer once again. In contrast to my initial Voyage experience, where I assumed the responsibilities of a product owner due to its absence, this time around, we have both a dedicated Product Owner and a newly introduced role at Chingu—a Scrum Master. Excitement abounds as we now comprise a team of six developers, and I am eager to witness the collaborative outcomes we can achieve. The only challenge lies in the absence of a UI/UX designer within the team. Perhaps a team member can step up to address this aspect.

This project provided an opportunity for the team to gain hands-on experience in web development and work with multi-dimensional datasets. It served as a practical application to hone their skills and delve into the complexities of data manipulation within a web-based environment. As acting product owner I was able to gain hands-on experience to help build an application from concept toshipment.
