A lot of points were resolved regarding certain features and so fourth today which was good. In terms of the availability of people will be decided within our roles which is easier I think. We also talked about the possible risks and people we need to keep our eye on through out the project.
At the lecture it was decided that Marketing had too many people in its group. Those extra people have been moved into Systems Integration. I will be giving them a basic role in the project just in case their attendance does vary in which it will not matter too much then. But then that is down to them.

Systems Integration...Weekly Coordinators..
We met today for the first time and discussed what we will be doing for the next 3 weeks. We allocated additional roles, for example weekly coordinators and decided on dates and times for the meetings. I also stated how we will be running our role over the next 3 weeks and every member that attended the meeting was happy with my approach. Our meetings for the week will be on Monday at 12.30 and we will have daily meetings. The time will be decided there and then. At the meeting on Monday I will be using the site map to show which features we need to link together and what gaps we need to resolve just to show what is required and where we should be by the end of the week.
Here is the post of the Week Coorindators:
Weekly Coordinators:
The people below have been allocated to each week and will be responsible for those weeks’ features. They will be making sure that all the features are done and work together. In addition to that they will create any temporary links to link all the features for that week together ready for that weeks launch.
Week One:
Hitesh Mistry
James Tubb
Week Two:
Phill Trotman
Dan Ransom
James Tubb
Week Three:
Hitesh Mistry
Adam West
Glen Hunt
PhillTrotman.
As well as the above roles they will still be providing support as allocated previously.
If you have any problems with your feature please get in touch with the above people depending on what week you are programming.
By giving the extra responsibilities it will motivate them to try and do the best they can and it will also split the work load up.

Presentations + Other Stuff..
There were a few absences from our demonstration of our features today however myself Jennie did a good job of it. It is clearer now where every thing fits in too.
Today I went around and created programming groups for each week. I created the groups so that people whose features link together will be able to provide each other with support. From that list of groups I have allocated people from Systems Integration to them to provide support and any other issues.
I think by doing this it will help us manage the next few weeks easier and give an idea of where everyone is at.
Also I will be producing our site map on to A3/A2 size paper to show each week in terms of features being developed. It will also allow us(System Integration Team) to create any temporary links in order for each of the launches to be successful. This will be accessed every Monday in our meetings.

Programming/Presentations..
Today we will be presenting our features in groups. These groups will contain features that direcetly link with each other. I think this should be the same when we do our programming. Maybe allocate each group a room to work in. If we can keep all the features grouped together it maybe easier that way. This will make it easier for the system integration team. One week will consist of many groups (3 or 4). I will find out that today.
Progect Plan...
I have suggested the following:
By the end of the week I will have got the site map enlarged on to A2 so that we can see the overall progress of each week and resolve any problems. It will enable is to visually see where we are at.
I suggest we have daily meetings(end of day) to discuss what we have achieved. This will monitor our progress.Im trying to find a room where we can meet in the same place over the next 3 weeks.
The meeting on monday should be first thing. Any ideas what sort of time? We should talk about:
Overall Targets
Targets for each roles (Daily & Weekly)
Risks
A.O.B
Hopefully by doing this it will make it easier for us to manage. How ever we need at least one person from each role to attend if not everyone or this is not going to work. What does everyone think?
By doing this it should help us keep on track of everything and everyone an indication of the current progress from each role.

Systems Integration Project Plan..
I have suggested the following:
Here is the overall plan for the next 3 weeks:
Monday: Sys Int Meeting 11pm? . Discuss targets for the week. Any possible risks/issues. What will be presented at launch.
Tuesday/Wednesday: Support for people who relates to your feature AND support for allocated group. (More to follow).
Thursday: Integrate allocated groups and features that relate to yours.
Friday: Prepare for launch, test all integrated features in order of presentation.
The final maybe slightly different, but we will acess the situation at that time.
We should have daily meetings at the end of each day. What does everyone think to this?
Below is the System Integraters per week:
Week One:
Jason Findlay
Rob Fowler
Ashley Grimsey
Glen Hunt
Hitesh Mistry
Dan Ransom
James Tubb
Adam West
Week 2:
Michael D'Souza
Jason Findlay
Rob Fowler
Ashley Grimsey
Dan Ransom
Phil Trotman
James Tubb
Week 3:
Michael D'Souza
Glen Hunt
Hitesh Mistry
Phil Trotman
Adam West
*Week 3 we are a little short, so the sooner you finish your feature the better it will be.
I will allocate groups to people by the end of today. Again What does everyone think to this?
This way people will have something to do and they will be responsible for their allocated group. I think it will work well like this, however I am open to other suggestions. Today I will be finding out the groups and allocate them to the above people.

Programming Over the next 3 weeks...
I have suggested the following:
Over the next 3 weeks in programming terms I suggest the following:
* When you are programming your feature during your allocated week, I suggest that you pair up or get in small groups of people that link up with your feature. This will make it easier to test your feature the future and in some cases your feature may not work with out some one Else's feature.
* As to providing support it works the same way, I think it will be more helpful to help the people who are linked with your feature.
Obviously you will have to work in your allocated roles too and sort out when you will be doing this in each of your groups. This will become more clearer over the next week or so.
By doing the above it will help us test and integrate the whole system and we can do it as we go along. Hopefully towards the end of the project we can implement groups of features rather than every single feature individually which will take longer to do.
