Week Three Day One...

9am Start:

Cohort Meeting:

In here we discussed what the layout of the week should be. I think that this plan was a good idea and it should show the progression of the project. I got everyone to state what week their feature was in and whether it was completed or not. The reason for this is so that I can help those who need support and see whose feature is in for certain deadlines (week 1, 2 or 3).

My role today was mainly to provide support again, but also make sure that every one was getting their features done. People had to come to me once they have done their feature and documentation, so their feature could be signed off. This worked well for the majority of the features, however it wasn't to be at the demo. The whole point of the cut off points was too stop any more changes being made to that feature so that we can focus on the rest of the development. A lot of the features needed to be changed because it was not up to suitable standards, which takes us back to square one. On a positive note, a lot more features were done which is encouraging. There was hardly any support available today from either the system integrators or the web designers because a lot of them were developing their features, but James Atwill did a good job putting the developed features together. We shouldn't have this problem tomorrow with their being more support available from the lecturers.

Overview:

Although we made some progress, I'm not happy with how it went. Week 1 AND week 2 features should be done and dusted, with exceptions of course but this was not the case. There are still a lot of issues surrounding the final feature set, which that this stage should be final(2 weeks ago).A lot more changes still need to be made, therefore increasing the workload. I also think that more pressure is required too in order for people to complete their features to a acceptable standard.
