Current Update..

Today was really productive in that we have now got a finalised version of the project plan and everyone has signed up to a role. We also got the final documentation in with all the necessary changes made.

Now we have to look at planning that needs to be done under each role. For systems integration I think maybe we should allocate a group of features to people for them to implement. We are currently discussing this on the forum.

In order to manage the project better i think we(Project Managers) need to decide on how often we should have meetings. I think we should make a large copy of the site map and put it in one of the labs and tick off the features once they have been implemented. At least it will give us an idea of where everyone is at and where people need help. Jennie suggested we should have daily scrum meetings which maybe a good idea.

overall I think the project is going in the write direction and with a lot of input from people it should get easier to manage, but I'm up to the challenge!

Update of FS...

Myself and Rob Morrisby spoke to Janice hurn today regarding issues surroundnig the whole project. There are a number of people who have yet to submit their feature thats why a deadline of 5pm was set today. I think alot of people of responded to this well and it should be easier for me to put the final thing together on tuesday. Any one who doesn't submit their work will simply lose marks.

Feature Prototype..

I have created a feature prototype using dream weaver. This didn't take very long to do and it maybe a good idea to use this for our presentations on Thursday. Especially if we are showing a group of features.

Feature Template...

I created a template on Friday for the layout of the final functional and design specification report. It will be hard getting people to redo their feature on time, and also in the correct order too. So far out of the features I have received I have had to change it around a bit even though it is not my job too. The main reason of this I think it is that a lot of people are not looking at the discussion boards and the fact that we have got other assignments on at the moment. The whole cohort needs to start looking at the discussion boards on a daily basis or it will affect the projects success.

Current Update of SB2

After the meeting today we had to clarify a few issues. Jennie Bate created a form for everyone to fill in regarding their feature. This will help us put the final document together and also we used this to create our site map from, which chris has posted on the forum. Also between myself, Rob, Piero, Gary Coombes, Jennie and Chris we have decided on who should be the project managers and leaders of the corresponding sections. The project managers role will basically see through the whole project making sure that every thing is going according to plan. We have also had to change when everyone would program their feature too, to allow time to put the whole system together in the final week. Finally we allocated people to roles if they haven't already signed up to one. If there are any issues regarding this they should let us know.

The project is looking more on task and more organised, How ever there maybe issues with what we have done today and they will be resolved as we come to them.

I have also created a template which contains all the headings every ones individual feature should include, hopefully people will adjust their feature asap so i can put the final document together again during the week.

Proceed to Payment Feature...3 - 'View Cart' + Other issues

After the demonstrations today I will have to change my feature slightly. The way it works is fine, I need to change it to 'view cart' feature. This will show all the events the user is looking to go to with the option of add or removing more events. As before this will link to the payments page(Group 7). The design of the button will change slightly too, I have yet to decide on this.

Also there have been a few issues concerning people not having features. Dan Beer who was meant to be designing the home page is going on holiday for part of the first of week of the SB activity. Ali Malik had problems finding a feature, and after speaking to both of them Ali will head up this role. I posted a thread to get him started, hopefully everyone will let him know what needs to be on the home page.
