1.3. Coaching

Project leads

If you have general questions about the project, you can contact Ann Audenaert. She is the project leader.
Matthias Blomme has the technical lead. You can contact him if you encounter problems with gitlab (rights, deploymenent, ...).

Topical experts

The topical experts will handle your technical questions in their area of expertise. There will be at least two topical experts available every Tuesday from 9:00 till 12:30. Make sure you plan your questions carefully, as not every expert will be available at all times.

Group coaches

Every group will be assigned two group coaches, who will monitor the group's progress throughout the semester. The group coaches are your point of contact for all non-technical questions. Disputes, conflicts,... also need to be reported to the group coaches. If there is a group member that does not perform adequately, this information needs to be submitted timely to the group coaches, so that they can attempt to remedy it. 3 weeks before the project ends is NOT timely.

Summon by group coaches

The group coaches will summon the group on a regular basis to confer. You can interchange ideas, planning, and possible approaches. If there are questions that are too technical, the coaches will relay them to a topical expert.

A summon by the group coaches is a mandatory moment on which every group member's presence is required. Failure to comply will negatively impact your score. The summoning can happen at any time during the week from Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm, it does not have to be on the allocated project working time. You will be notified at least three hours prior to its occurrence.
