Intro Logo

Welcome to the First Blog Post of our Team called SmartBucks. Our team has the name of the App we have envisioned of creating, since we chose the Money Control Project Theme. We created the logo above because we think that it represents the App’s name, as we believe that the app is going to “Enlighten the Pocket” of the user!

We are going to share below more with you about the theme selection, personal details and motivation of the team’s members, and discuss about factors and decisions we took for our project’s organisation (communication, roles etc).
