Project Progress Summary

Progress Description

Our team has progressed slowly but steadily since our acceptance. We encountered a major obstacle, which is the creating of a live PayPal account for Pivotal Experts. They required us to have a working live application for them to verify before they allow us to create a live PayPal account. So we had to delay our PayPal task until we can complete the basic functionalities. We are confident of getting 70% of the basic functionality live by midterm. Although this is behind the schedule we planned during proposal, which was caused by the underestimation of the duration and complexity of the tasks, we are confident of completing 70% of the additional features on top of the basic functionalities, by the end of the term.

Project Highlights

What unexpected events occurred?

  • PayPal required us to have a live application before allowing us to create a live PayPal account
  • Project Management
    • The front end team took 7 weeks to learn Angular JS, which was much longer than expected. On top of that, they needed to learn Javascript, which we did not allocate time for.
    • Team members had a higher workload than expected
    • Task durations were underestimated (Points allocated to each task in Pivotal Tracker)


Project Management

Project Status

Highlight changes to modules, the completion status (implemented, UAT done, client approved, deployed, etc), the confidence level (0-1 where 0 is no confident of getting it done, 1 is 100% confident in getting it done) and comments (who has been assigned to do it, new scope, removed scoped, etc). Please use a table format to summarize with links to function details.

Function / Features Status Confidence Comments
PayPal 50% 1 Require PayPal's verification before being able to create a live PayPal account
Login/logout 100% 1 Login using Janrain
View Dashboard 100% 1 Modified the design by creating tabs for news feed and project management
Edit Profile 100% 1 Some fields such as school and country which require verification will be completed in later use cases
Create/Edit Project 90% 1 Edit project function still in progress
View Projects 100% 1 Pagination will be in a separate use case
View Project Bids 100% 1
Create Bid 100% 1
View Workroom 100% 1 Complex view which took Robert some time to design
Write on Project Wall 100% 1 Kenneth is suggesting that new messages will be appended at the bottom instead of appearing at the top
Feedback through Get Satisfaction 100% 1 Feedback will be sent to getsatisfaction.com, instead of being stored in Pivotal Experts
Send Messages 70% 1 Functionality is nearly completed. A link will be placed near the logout link.
Accept Bid 90% 1 A message needs to be displayed to inform user that it is only the first iteration that he is paying for.
Accept/Reject Deliverable 90% 1 Will temporarily use the PayPal sandbox account for testing purposes until PayPal grants us a live account

Project Schedule (Plan Vs Actual)

<<Iteration breakdown>>

Project Metrics

Summary of analysis for the metrics collected. You may refer to another page for the details about the metrics and how it is collected.

Project Risks

<<Risk Management>>

Technical Complexity

1. Utilizing two different programming languages - Javascript using AngularJS for views, and Python for the models and controllers.
2. Implementing PayPal payments.
3. Implementing a REST server on Google App Engine.

Quality of Product

Quality Achieved

Developed the application such that the views can be tested and run independently of the database models. This is achieved through the use of Angular JS, which is a Javascript MVC framework. Anyone can just take the views out and run them on their computer, without any web server required. The data will be stored in static JSON files within the folder.

Intermediate Deliverables

There should be some evidence of work in progress.

S/N Stage Specification Modules
1. Project Management Minutes <<minutes repository>>
Metrics <<Velocity metrics>>, <<Bug metrics>>
2. Requirements List of functionalities <<priority list>>
3. Analysis Use case <<Use Case Diagram>>, <<Use Case Description>>
4. Testing UAT test plan In Progress


Not all parts of the deliverables are necessary but the evidence should be convincing of the progress. Try to include design deliverables that shows the quality of your project.

Deployment

In an iterative approach, ready to use system should be available (deployed) for client and instructions to access the system described here (user name). If necessary, provide a deployment diagram link.

Testing

Describe the testing done on your system. For example, the number of UAT, tester profile, test cases, survey results, issue tracker, bug reports, etc.
