Overview
PolyEvents is an Android event management platform built for the EPFL community. It allows student associations and organisers to create, publish, and manage events on campus, while giving students a single place to discover what's happening around them.
The project was developed as part of the EPFL Software Development Project (SDP) course — a semester-long team project following strict agile practices with weekly sprints and external evaluation.
Team & Process
Developed by a team of 6 students over one semester using the Scrum methodology. Weekly sprints, sprint reviews, and retrospectives were held with a teaching assistant acting as Product Owner. The team managed its own backlog, task allocation, and code reviews through GitLab.
