Merry Christmas

Group 6 of the greed project wants to wish all merry christmas!There is really no place for greed in christmas time. ;)

A paper prototype of the system

We have done a paper prototype of how the system should work when it is finished and how the GUI will look like in the final product.
The prototype can be found at: http://www.cs.umu.se/~c06een/SE/menu.pdf

Updated projectplan

Because of the pictures in our new projectplan and because it is difficult to convert the text from the projectplan to text in the blog in a good way(tabs for example are ignored) we have choosen to provide a link to the projectplan instead.
The projectplan can be found at http://www.cs.umu.se/~c06een/SE/ProjectPlan.pdf

Inital risk analysis

Risk analysis

Risks

Risk: Risk probability influence

Bad time planning: medium low

Too advanced AI : low low

Doesn’t understand software: low low

Groupmembers prioritize other tasks: medium high

Computers unusable : low high

Requirements change : low medium

Doesn’t understand phone GUI : high medium

Misjudge suitable design: low high

Bad choice of process : low high

Fixes

Bad time planning: Remake time plan

Too advanced AI : Make a more simple AI

Doesn’t understand software: Find someone who does or cooperate with others

Groupmembers prioritize other tasks: Discuss the problem with member

Computers unusable : Find alternative computers

Requirements change : Update requirement specification

Doesn’t understand phone GUI: More resources, find help or make simpler

Misjudge suitable design : Modifiy design

Bad choice of process : Document for next project, eventually modify.

The first version of the projectplan

Here comes our first estimation of the projectplan:

Project Plan

Team description

Responsibility Person Description

Main contact Erik c05esm, 070−2923332

Backup contact Eva c06een, 070−6735644

Other contact Peter c05psl, 070−2870297

Other contact Lovisa c04lpn, 070−6035086

Responsible for Documents Lovisa Will make sure documents are written.

Responsible for Coding Peter Will make sure all code gets written.

Responsible for Web page Erik Will make sure the homepage is updated.

Responsible for Oral Report Peter Will make sure the oral presentation is good.

Responsible for GUI Eva Will make sure the GUI is user friendly.

Responsible for Testing Erik Will make sure the system get tested.

Required Resources

1. Access to computers

2. Access to a CVS system

3. Access to the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit CLDC

4. Access to a program used to create an architectural diagram

5. 20 hours per week and person

6. Eventually a cellular phone for testing

Chosen approach

The chosen process is a modified version of the Waterfall model, with a recursive

step between coding and testing, and an ongoing documents phase. It borrows the

risk analysis from the spiral model.
