Address field should not be mandatory for the purposes of the app

[broccoli-hater]

For the purposes of the app, which is managing project schedules and keeping track of each teammate's timetables, it is actually unnecessary for the address field to be mandatory when adding a teammate.

Making the user add an address also slows down the work flow without it adding too much value to the overall planning.

Making address an optional field or even removing it altogether might be better for the app, since it is supposed to be simple and efficient.

Team's Response

Thank you for the bug report.

Our team thinks that this is not in scope for the following reasons:

1. Address is useful to schedule meetings. It informs the users of the feasibility of a face-to-face meeting.
2. There is no need to provide an exact address. This mitigates any issue with slowing down the work flow. A simple description like RC4 or Woodlands adds substantial value without requiring much time.
3. The target user of our product is a fast typist.

We also believe that it should be a severity.Low type.FeatureFlaw as the issue only causes a minor inconvenience.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I agree that it can be useful when planning face-to-face meetings however, I think it should still be an optional field.
In most group projects at school, we usually work together with strangers or people we first meet during that course. Realistically, we wouldn't know where they lived or they might not even be willing to divulge that information. Most of the time, the meeting would take place on campus anyway to accommodate everyone, so it would be better for the meeting to have an optional address field rather than each teammate having a mandatory one.
