Sprint 17 - Client Meeting Summary

  • Date: July 14th, 2026

Project Updates

  • The client shared that migration to the university infrastructure is still delayed due to slow internal IT processes.
  • The issue has been escalated to higher management, and the client will continue following up with the IT department.
  • We discussed the upcoming handover to the next student team, who will continue development and integrate the platform into the university infrastructure.
  • Our goal is to hand over a stable and fully functional system.

Feature Priorities

Projects Feature

  • The client identified the Projects feature as the highest remaining priority.
  • We already have an initial implementation in progress.
  • The client requested an early demo to provide feedback before project completion.

Follow Feature

  • We discussed implementing a follow system for alumni.
  • Since it depends on a notification system, client gave it a lower priority given the remaining project time.

Event Views

  • Event view counters were discussed as a lightweight feature that could encourage user engagement.
  • Profile views were also considered lower priority and can be discarded if not applicable.

Technical Discussion

Migration Status

  • Migration remains blocked by university infrastructure and communication delays.
  • The client will continue coordinating with the responsible IT staff to help resolve the issue.

Telegram Restrictions

  • Telegram bot messages are currently not being delivered due to server restrictions.
  • Existing mini-app links still work, but new links and bot messages are unreliable.
  • We are investigating possible workarounds.

Notifications

  • Mobile app notifications were discussed as a more practical approach than Telegram notifications.
  • In-app notifications were also suggested as a possible future improvement by using a notification panel inside the app to show the notifications for upcoming events, which can be implemented on both platforms simultaneously.

Agreed Priorities

  • Prioritize completing the Projects feature.
  • Continue working toward completing the migration.
  • Resolve Telegram bot issues if possible within the remaining project time.
  • Provide the client with a preview of the Projects feature for feedback before the final handover.
