Overview 🗺️

‘Project Bumbo’ was a group project I participated in during my school days, where our team of five was tasked with solving a pressing issue for ‘Bumbo’, a fictional supermarket chain. The challenge at hand was the time-consuming and inefficient scheduling process that the store manager faced every week. This often resulted in employees working overtime and shifts where the store was either understaffed or overstaffed.

Challenges and Solutions 🧗🏻

Transitioning into the world of software frameworks was a significant step for me, as my previous framework experience was primarily with JavaFX, which is more of a library than a framework. Diving into ASP.NET presented a new set of challenges. Fortunately, the MVC architecture was a familiar concept, which helped me navigate through the learning process. Despite some initial difficulties, I dedicated myself to understandin the framework, and over time, I became proficient in its application.

Conclusion 🏁

Looking back, I’m proud of what we achieved with ‘Project Bumbo’. The project was a rigorous exercise in problem-solving and innovation. We developed a solution that, in theory, could significantly improve the scheduling process for a supermarket like ‘Bumbo’. By simulating various staffing scenarios, our system demonstrated potential savings in time and a reduction in unnecessary overtime. The project was a valuable learning experience, providing insights into teamwork and the practical application of theoretical knowledge.
