Do to scheduling conflicts, the other PM’s and I did not have a chance to meet with one another to go over the project. However, Andre and I met with the BA’s to see how there progressing. During the meeting the BA’s showed their first prototype for the project. From there, we all analyzed the prototype to see if it was heading in the right direction. From our analysis Andre and I felt that the idea for their solution might not standout/impress the sponsor if it was presented to him. We believe the BA’s need to not only focus their solution idea but also come up with something that is unique. This was the first round of prototyping so we weren’t expecting much. We just wanted them to start prototyping this past week so we knew they were think of solutions and staying on track with our timeline. Since they accomplished that, we’re looking forward to their next round of prototyping this coming week.

Due to scheduling conflicts, our BA’s were unable to meet this past week. Even though we did not get to meet with them in person, they did assure us that they will start prototyping and have a rough prototype done […]

This past week was very constructive. Fortunately we, the PM’s, were able to meet with our BA’s. For the meeting the PM’s and I created an agenda which we distributed to the BA’s before we met. During the meeting we covered interview questions, Justinmind prototyping, and the lack of communication. We refined the questions and determined that our BA’s were behind with prototyping. As a result we motivated them to start prototyping and again made ourselves available for help. Judging by the emails I received from some BA’s, I believe they are getting back on track with prototyping. We also covered the communication problem and established a new line of communication which seems to be working. We also all, the BA’s and PM’s, agreed on a weekly meeting time to keep on track. Because of the agenda we created, the BA’s came prepared with the information we were going to cover. Which made our meeting shorter and more productive. Now that the interviews are over, we plan on using all of the information together so that we can put more of an emphasis on developing ideas for a solution as well as prototyping those ideas.

This past week has been less productive than it could have been. Both the BA’s and PM’s had their first test this week which put the focus on studying for our tests. Because of this, we weren’t unable to schedule a meeting with the BA’s. We did have communication with them through email, and they seem to need help with Justinmind. Since I worked extensively with Justinmind when I was a BA, I have made myself available for help this coming Monday. Currently I am working on refining the quality management plan. I have found a template online, but for the purpose of this project the template is too many pages. I am working on shorting this quality management plan to one or two pages. This coming week we have planned to meet with our BA’s. Judging from our previous meetings with our BA’s, they seem to be on track. However, since we didn’t get to meet with them this week, we will better know if their deliverables are at an acceptable level after our meeting next week.

Over the past few weeks our team has been creating the first set of drafts. We were able to successfully complete these documents through delegation. I personally am responsible for the quality management plan and the business rules. One thing that has been working for us is meeting with our BA’s. Although it is not on a regular basis, the meetings we do have are productive. So far we have helped them with their scope document and interview questions. We have also created a google drive to easily share information between one another. One problem we, the PM’s and BA’s have been running into is finding a time to meet. It has been hard to find a time because some of us commute and others have extracurricular activities. Because of this problem, we have not yet setup a time to meet on a weekly basis. We need to setup a definite time soon so that we can make sure we are all on track. If we can’t find a time to all meet in person, then we will need to pick a time to all meet virtually. We are also going to develop agendas for our meetings to increase our productivity. By making these changes, I believe myself and the other PM’s will be able to better assist the BA’s and make things easier for us.
