Week 2
Monday – Nov. 11
The entirety of today’s meeting was given to the development of an XML structure for the application. While an XML schema was previously designed, actual coding proved problematic.
Tuesday – Nov. 12
As with yesterday’s meeting, the team continued to work on an XML solution.
On a brighter note, there may be a different way to get the Domino side of the client’s application to the product.
Wednesday – Nov. 13
Today’s meeting was less formal. XML continues to be worked on. The team requested a meeting with the client in order to present early GUI designs and, if possible, speak to the current application’s developer. The client soon set a meeting for Friday 15th.
Thursday – Nov. 14
XML was set aside for this meeting as the team focused on getting a better grip on the GUI designs as well as developing questions and talking points for tomorrow’s meeting with the client.
Friday – Nov. 15
Meeting with client.
While the majority of the GUI design was deemed appropriate, a navigation screen will likely have to be entirely redesigned as it could prove unwieldy for handheld platforms.
The client also provided further insight to the processes behind the current application in use as well as the background of the client’s company. Unfortunately, the current application’s developer was not able to join the team. A meeting has been set for Tuesday 19th.
The team also agreed to help develop a survey to find the extent of the usefulness of the proposed product as well as to provide further information about use cases for the current application.
The app dev team will complete University tasks for the product during the weekend and start the coding process on Monday 18th.
