MIS 3535 Project

 

February 6, 2015

This week was pretty much our introduction/kick-off week and getting familiar with each of our BAs schedules. We decided to meet every Thursday at 5pm on the 7th floor of Fox. During the first meeting we went over key elements of the scope documents and also how to write a successful scope document. I strongly encouraged the BAs to visit their TA and also the professor, so they could also take another look at the scope document. For the next week meeting we plan to start brainstorming some great ideas for the website and also help the BAs become more familiar with Justinmind.

This week was pretty much just finalizing our scope document. The scope document was edited by PMs, TA and Professors. After fixing and managing the scope we submitted it for final review. The meeting was short but we covered the topics we needed to cover. The BAs brought up their concern about justinmind , and not being able to fully understand how to work with the software. We encouraged them saying “that we went through the same phases and to keep pushing through and learn as much as you can with justinmind. After you spend the time creating some ideas with the prototype then we plan to sit down and build on top of your ideas.” The week of February 13th was a great week and we are still on topic.

This week was pretty dry because every group member was preparing for either their 3535 exam, 3501 exam or 3504 exam.  We met briefly just to share some study guides and have a study session. We helped the BAs understand some key topics that they were having trouble with. Next week we plan on reserving a breakout room and building a sample prototype in justinmind software. Our main goal is to have a layout of the website before spring break. Over spring break we plan on working on the document portion of the project.

This week we meet with our BA’s to receive a status update before spring break. They are just starting to get some ideas on paper. They met with their professor to talk about some ideas they have for the website and app. As of now they are not sure which platform they will go with and develop. They are leaning more towards the website. Also we helped them prepare for exam number 2 which is approaching very soon. We told them what to focus on and we all made a study guide according to what we discussed.

This week was very successful, our BA’s told us that they started working with justinmind and coming up with ideas on how to make a successful platform for TU Press. Many of our BA’s told us that they were enjoying justinmind and that they had worked long hours to try and figure out how to do advanced things with justinmind. Evan my fellow PM even said he would sit down with the BA’s one Saturday and help them develop their website even more. We also discussed some of the important documentsz that will be due at the end of the project. We showed them some of our documents as examples of how to do them the correct way. This week was a very encouraging week to find out that our BA’s finally felt confident and excited about justinmind

This week I started calculating the difference of baseline and the actuals to get an idea of our EVM. Finding the EVM was a great indicator to see the progress of the project and determine whether we were doing good or bad. My team is doing wonderful on all cylinders, they are completing tasks for the most part before the estimated time, budget and staying within the scope. The team is currently discussing the personas and how exactly they are going to fit in with the prototype. We are on track and seem as if we will finish a little early and have time to add extra details to the website.
