week6

This week is the week before Easter break, looks that everyone all have some plan for the break. I will go to Adelaide during the break, and so is Andy. I do not about the rest of the group, so we need to sign some tasks for each one before the break.

As we almost finish the functional spec. we need to start our user acceptance criteria and most important the screen design need to be done, which will gives the client an idea what the system will be like and make sure all the functions are includes. Therefore Dave is the one who need to do it. so, hopefully, the screens will be ready after the break.

Another thing is we give David Grant a look of our draft of functional spec. There are some parts need to be either change or redo. So, I will need to works with Andy to fix some of our use case, and this have to be done by the end of this week.

For Easter I need to work on the normalisation, and try to understand what is the 5th normal form. The things is we never done or learned anything about 5th normal form before. So, I believe we have to do a lots of research about it during the break.

I thinks this is all we have so far, and because I will be away for 4 days during the breaks, therfore I may need to start to do things earlier, and also wish everyone will finish their tasks during the break.

Week5

Big week, we tried to email Bianca few times, but we did not get any reply yet. If she still not replying, I think we will need to report the situation to David. Otherwise, things actually going very good, we nearly finish our functional spec report, and will start our acceptance report very soon.

While me and Andy trying to finish up the functional spec, others in the group are starting to design the database of our project. The thing is we need to work with the other group because our client are the same and we trying to create one database which can be use by both project. Therefore, everyday a new database diagram will come out and we will discuss these new idea with David.

One thing really concern me is the easter break is coming up, and we are a bit behind the schedule with our deliverable. The reason is we miscalculate the time when we were doing the governance and standard report. The thing worry me is some members in our group is not coefficient enough, a easy task will takes them couple of days to finish. Hopefully, they will doing better when the design and development parts coming.

Overall, things not really too bad, coz when we doing the database diagram, I can see that everyone are having the skill and able to join the discussion. So, I believe we are on the right track.
