D G10 Week 5 Progress Report...

This week we have accomplished:

.:: David Louis Achacon

• During the Christmas break, we contacted Doc Vanie and asked her questions concerning the project
• While waiting for Doc Vanie's reply, I researched on the technologies that we might possibly need for the development of our project
• Downloaded e-books and tutorials.
• Doc Vanie finally replied and gave us the project requirements/specifications. As soon as we got these requirements, we immediately started making the Use Case Specifications and Use Case Model for our project and sent it to Doc Vanie

.:: Helen Grace Borromeo

• Contributed to the Use Case Specifications
  
• Corresponded with the client regarding the project
• Started drafting the Class Diagram

.:: Denise Carlos

• Had an initial overview of our project based on the preliminary specifications given by our client
• Reviewed 3.3 - 3.5 of the JEDI material
• Contributed to the Use Case Specifications

.:: Maryann Kaye Puyaoan

• Reading the Requirements Traceability Matrix
• Having a preliminary understanding of our system's requirements
• Collaborated with my groupmates in creating the Use Case Diagram and Use Case Specifications for our system

Our next week goals are:

• Finalize the Use Case Specifications and Use Case Model after consulting the client
• Finalize the technology that will be used for our project
• Clarify some of our questions with our client regarding the system's functionality
• Study concepts of Design Engineering Basics
• Acquire the Project Requirements
• Start the project development
• Continue consulting with our advise and our client
• Share the Requirements Traceability Matrix in Google Docs

Our most important concerns/issues/questions are:

• The response to the e-mail to our client was delayed. However, our client told us to just contact her through text if we have e-mails regarding the project
• Discussing and finalizing the technology that will be used for this project

We learned:

.:: David Louis Achacon

• I learned something on internet applications and how to install and configure these applications
• Importance of communication with clients and groupmates

.:: Helen Grace Borromeo

• The importance of discussing the project with our client
• How to create Use Case Specifications and Class Diagrams

.:: Denise Carlos

• How to make Use Case Specifications and Use Case Diagram
• The importance of collaborating and brainstorming with my groupmates for the deliverables
• The importance of getting in touch with the client and my groupmates to meet with our project's requirements

.:: Maryann Kaye Puyaoan

• Concepts of Requirements Traceability Matrix
• How to make Use Cas Specifications and Use Case Diagram
• Better understanding of Use Case Analysis Technique
• That the Requirements Engineering Phase is really an iterative process. At the time we created the deliverables, we usually go back from the start everytime we make changes on some parts of the Use Case Model.
