\subsection{Week 6}
|
||||
The highlight of this week was the first meeting with the client. This meeting
|
||||
was scheduled last-minute, but went very well. The team's plan and the client's
|
||||
expectations were not significantly different.
|
||||
expectations were not significantly different. To accomodate the team and
|
||||
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.
