|  | the client's busy schedule, meetings were agreed to be bi-weekly, and made | ||||||
|  | optional (to prevent wasted time in the event that no new information is | ||||||
|  | required by the group). During this week, team members wanted to begin | ||||||
|  | prototyping to accelerate the development and revision of an initial | ||||||
|  | design. However, the issue of funding remained at this point; a team member noted | ||||||
|  | "any kind of funding is a long way away" in their individual progress report. | ||||||
|  | In retrospect, this was not a significant challenge at this time: many changes | ||||||
|  | were made to the original design during the drafting of the Design Document, | ||||||
|  | meaning that some purchased hardware might not have been used. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | \subsection{Week 7} | ||||||
|  | During this week, the team completed an initial draft of the Design Document. | ||||||
|  | This was not written in IEEE 1016-2009 compliant format, and generally | ||||||
|  | consisted largely of information from the Tech Review. The team was aware | ||||||
|  | of this, and planned to modify the document to be compliant to IEEE 1016-2009 | ||||||
|  | in the second draft. The first draft was submitted on time and with no other issues. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | Since the team was busy with the creation of the design (and the design document), | ||||||
|  | the issue of funding was not significant at this time. The group member responsible | ||||||
|  | for the hardware simulated some of the components of the initial design, in order | ||||||
|  | to explore the implementation of the project. However, no significant insight | ||||||
|  | was gained from this, with the exception of familiarity with the tooling. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | \subsection{Week 8} | ||||||
|  | In this week, the design document was completely transitioned to IEEE 1016-2009 format. | ||||||
|  | This took a significant amount of work for three reasons: the IEEE spec is very wordy | ||||||
|  | and needlessly abstracted, the specified perspectives in the IEEE spec were not | ||||||
|  | entirely covered by the first draft, and a medical emergency temporarily took out a team member. | ||||||
|  | Despite the difficulties, the assignment was completed before the initial deadline (which | ||||||
|  | was later postponed), and the team had a chance to verify the content of the design document | ||||||
|  | with the course's instructors. This helped discover several minor issues with the format | ||||||
|  | of the document, which were promptly corrected. At this point, the document was | ||||||
|  | complete with the exception of UML diagrams, which were scheduled to be inserted | ||||||
|  | during the weekened.  | ||||||
|  | Other than the medical emergency and the design document, no significant problems | ||||||
|  | or progress occured this week. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | \subsection{Week 9} | ||||||
|  | This was a short week which ended in Thanksgiving, and no significant changes | ||||||
|  | to the state of the project occured at this time. The team submitted all the | ||||||
|  | generated documentation to the client / advisor, but did not receive a | ||||||
|  | response during this week. No issues were encountered during this time. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | \subsection{Week 10} | ||||||
|  | The entire team, as well as the client, had a chance to meet and discuss | ||||||
|  | the submitted documents this week. The client was very satisfied with the results, | ||||||
|  | but wanted a high-level overview of the system that was not "scattered through | ||||||
|  | a big document". | ||||||
|  | On the team level, a new system was introduced to help evenly distribute workload | ||||||
|  | among team members. A Trello-style board will be used to plan for the tasks | ||||||
|  | ahead and assign work to members, so that there is a larger degree of personal | ||||||
|  | responsibility for parts of each assignment. | ||||||
