Overview for internship

Previously Matt detailed the day-to-day effects of internship from the perspective of the development team with key input from Steven, our Summer Intern. They also shared advice for future internships. Here we explore the impacts of internship on successfully planning for and coordinating an Agile development team used to working with colleagues accustomed to our implicit ‘culture and rituals’. We have used this internship to look for opportunities to enhance the positive impacts of future internships for the team and company, and mitigate against any challenges. Key takeaways are noted in bold.

In part 1 of this series of blog posts we explored some of the setup and strategy of the process of taking on Steven as an intern. In this post, we'll explore more of the day-to-day working as a development team.
