Customer Milestone 1 Report

Customer Milestone 1

This is the first milestone report for the bounswe2024group11 team. It includes a summary of what we have done so far, our project plan in a detailed manner, work done by each team member, and the tools we have benefitted.

1. Executive Summary

1.a) Summery & Status

1.b) Deliverables

• Our Wiki is in a well-established and well-navigatable state. We have a functioning Sidebar and a descriptive landing page.
• We have our Communication Plan, Project Plan, Requirements, Mockups, Scenarios, and Meeting Notes ready to review and evaluate.
• We have more than 100 issues opened, of which 90 are closed. Our issues have a standard form where we try to describe the problem in a succinct manner

1.c) Decisions

• Simplicity of issue and issue templates. We want to be direct and succinct.

• Weekly meetings on Google Meet, and subgroup meetings on Discord. Separation of concerns.

• Comics over Chess: WikiData searchability, and content richness.

• Only desktop flows: We used a mobile-first approach to designs so that our customers can easily extrapolate what they see in a desktop view to a mobile view.

• Domain change.

1.d) Challenges met

• First domain being not rich enough in terms of WikiData content. Domain change required double work on most of ends such as requirements, and user scenarios.
• Understanding semantic search, its use cases and its implications to our project.
• The false idea that we all have to be in every meeting hindered us
• Meetings taking too much time
• Trying to "glue" 5 user scenarios and mockups was an exhausting task.
