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) Summary & Status

Currently, we have settled on the domain Comics. The elicitation questions are identified and requirements are specified. We created our scenarios and mock-ups.

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: We have checked WikiData and changed our domain to Comics because of 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.
• Reviewer: We decided to assign at least one reviewer to further issues besides the assignees.

1.d) Challenges met

• The first domain is not rich enough in terms of WikiData content. Domain change required double work on most of the ends such as requirements, and user scenarios.
• Understanding semantic search, its use cases, and its implications for 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.

4. Evaluation of Tools and Processes

Tools Used:

• WhatsApp

  • We used WhatsApp to do our spontaneous discussions, created polls, or shared links.

• Discord

  • We used Discord to carry out our subgroup meetings. The topics of these subgroup meetings include the creation of scenarios, elicitation of requirements, and creation of the project plan.

• Google Drive

  • We used Google Drive to share folders and draft files.

• Google Meet

  • We used Google Meet to do weekly meetings in which current tasks are assigned to subgroups. These meetings allowed us to synchronize our progress.

• GitHub

  • The deliverables of the project are located on GitHub. It has issues with tasks, documentation of research, scenarios, mock-ups, plans, and wiki.

• Project Libre

  • It is used to create the project plan.

• Google Sheets

  • We used Google Sheets to save draft meeting notes.

• Figma

  • It is used to create mock-ups.

Workflow:

Problem Occurrence → Create Issue → Assign Someone → Review

Retrospective

We didn't make use of peer reviews at its full capacity for the first portion of this milestone. We also did our meeting as a whole instead of multiple submeetings in the first portion of this milestone.
