Situation

deep learning group project at university. I was concurrently taking the capstone project which emphasised team-work and Scrum methods.

Task

semantic segmentation of kidneys and kidney tumours

Action

co-ordinated bi-weekly stand-ups where we rattled through a list of 3 questions:

• what have you done since the last meeting?
• what will you do before the next meeting?
• any troubles you are having currently?

Result

scored 95%+ on the final project. led the team from a confused, unpromising state to delivering robust implementations of pure deep learning and transfer learning segmentations on the 300GB dataset.
