Week One Day One.....

Monday 12th March 2007

Project Managers Meeting:

This was our first meeting and I think it went well. Everyone got an overview of where each of the roles is currently at. Also we identified how we will be organising and prioristing over the next 3 weeks. We talked about possible risks which will be resolved at the time they will be identified. Overall it is looking good and we should have a clear indication of where we are at by the end of each day.

For the presentations, people will be presenting their own features for that week.
Below is the minutes for the meeting:

This was hosted by myself and James Tubb. We basically gave an outline to the rest of the team what is required over the next few weeks which will mainly be a supporting role. Everyone is ok with their group allocations for supporting too. I explained the site map and how it works which went well. It gave everyone an overview picture of where we will be at by the end of each week. This is up on the notice board near Janice's office for every one to view it if needed to. We also outlined what they should be doing each day from now upto the end of the project and that a 9am start is a must. There were a few issues regarding supporting other people which was resolved by moving people around. We stressed that it is important to understand what each feature does (allocated ones only) in order to gain a better understanding of where it all fits in the system. This will be easier for us then as we go along and when we come to intergration. Finally we will be meeting daily to dicuss what we have done for the day and resolve any issues.


I think today went really well. I got a better understanding of where everyone is at and the project is now looking more organised.
