Project Overview

Project Description

At H-Portal, people will be able to access a wealth of heritage resources developed and put together by the National Heritage Board of Singapore. Members can login to use an assortment of community networking services that are presently only provided by international portals. Hence, the H-Portal serves as a pioneering portal in community networking for the heritage sector.

H-Portal also serves as the gateway to browse the database of Singapore's heritage artifacts stored in NHB's repositories including its museums and archival databases and information from NHB corporate website and other government websites. On top of that, being a nation state board that actively champions the development of Singapore’s vibrant cultural and heritage, NHB are also striving for wider and more diverse audience exposure through different festivals (Singapore Heritage Fest, International Museum Day, etc.) and public outreach.

Judging by the number of events organized each year by NHB and their association partners, our Final Year Project team will focus on providing an event e-management tool using a portal, specifically for art-related events and gathering. Through assembling problems and drawbacks that repeatedly occurred on events organized by CCAs and diverse cultural community groups, S3P is intending to develop a QUICKR group, which is similar to a portal, which showcases the capability to address needs and mitigate any potential problems different users may encounter within an event.

Motivations

The H-Portal project aims to be a frontrunner in the adoption of Web 2.0 services in the public sector with particular focus on heritage communities. As promoting arts and cultures in Singapore is closely intertwined with organizing events to create awareness, we feel that there is a necessity for people or groups working within art and cultural communities to have a portal to streamline their activities during the event management processes. The overarching goal of this project is to create a virtual environment where the virtual heritage community actively participating in collaborating online. Through this approach on developing virtual portal on arts & cultural-related event management, our team believes that it will eventually serves sponsors’ goal to engage community with H-portal.

Objectives

  • Gather users requirement from art-related events coordinated by CCA and NHB’s affiliation
  • Address requirements gathered identified in 3 iterations (each last for 3 weeks and ended by 1 week of UAT for feedback and debugging) from different stakeholders by developing an event management portal that resides on H-Portal
  • Increase the traffic of visitors to NHB’s sites, especially H-Portal via our event management portal which will be residing there
  • In particular, our Arts Event Management Portal would help users listed on stakeholders table above and any other cultural community groups to:
    • Administer and monitor event progress effectively and efficiently
    • Allow members participating in the event to collaborate online anytime
    • Aid managerial decision-making with useful lists and statements related to the event
    • Eliminate most management hassles and problems that often occurred in the past

Weekly Updates

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

  • No supervisor meeting this week
  • Managed to re-format and also managed to install Windows Server 2003 for the purpose of installing QUICKR
  • Unfortunately, QUICKR Installation kept failing after numerous installing and reinstalling. Still trying to install it.
    • Turned out it failed because the port 50000 was not open, by default it's not opened by SMU network
    • Tried to install at own notebook and opened port 50000 at home network, but there was unexpected and unknown errors again (not related to port this time, totally something the team can't comprehend)
    • In the end decided to work directly in sponsor's compound

Week 4

  • Week 4 Supervisor Meeting Minutes
  • Did presentation to Supervisor to clarify differences between Quickr Mini-portal and Microsoft SharePoint
  • Did a demo to Supervisor on Quickr Mini-portal with relevance to our project and in particular use cases A1, A2, A3, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (refer to Use Cases Matrix)
  • Presented difficulty to customize things in Quickr to Supervisor
  • No supervisor meeting on week 5
  • Asked supervisor to do UAT on week 6

Week 5

  • No supervisor meeting this week. Focus on finishing demo for the purpose of UAT.
  • Internal lesson on workflow done by Sutayasa
  • Faced problems of customizing due to no admin access. Turned out Quickr requires admin access for most of the advanced customization which team wants to do. Hence, failure in the rest of internal lessons
    • Successfully gained admin access to H-Portal Quickr in order to carry out advanced customization and testing
  • Confirm UAT to be done next week to all testers

Week 6

Week 7

  • Finished and sent Mid-Term Reflection
  • Skipped supervisor's meeting this week as he is doing mid-term reflection grading
  • Sent out emails attached with UAT document to 9 viable testers
  • Successfully done some Theme Branding (UI Customization) on the banner and footer of Quickr Places

Week 8

  • Successfully done some UI Customization on the navigation menu and changed some color schemes/palettes of Quickr Places
  • Met with 5 people from Friends of the Museums (FOM), including their President, Vice President and IT Coordinator to discuss thoroughly about the Event Management System using Quickr as the platform and confirmed UAT with them for the next three weeks with feedback at the end of October
  • Use Cases 23-27 Done (Logistics List and Contacts List)
  • Quickr Connectors with Microsoft Office Outlook, Word and Excel have worked during testing, but not implemented yet

Week 9

Week 10

Week 11

Week 12

  • Received nice feedback from Calista, 1st Vice-President of FOM: "The UAT document is quite well written. I am impressed by the detailed steps presented, which are quite necessary in quality UAT." She also regarded the notifications on the application itself to be very easy to understand and the UI as something natural.
  • Continue coding and whatever is still in-progress in To-Do List
  • Project Manager decided to put 2nd and 3rd iteration together because it is very hard to get any UAT done around these 'busy' weeks in school and it might slow down our progress significantly if we waited for UAT to be done again (lessons learnt from 1st UAT). Hence, this will be our final iteration and afterwards we will have final UAT followed by final testing, debugging, and deploying sessions accordingly.

Week 13

Week 14

  • Working on final presentation slides
  • Deploying several additional features
    • Photo Gallery
