Project Highlights
Scope Completion
We have completed all of the functionalities as agreed upon with our client, as seen in our scope diagram below as well as our priority circle.
LivingNet Launch Events
Functionality Swap
Implemented a facility booking payment system in place of a taxi booking system. This was agreed upon with the sponsor at our 12th iteration, as it will add the greatest value to what we have in place so far.

Project Metrics
Velocity Metric
Velocity Score Metric
Iteration Velocity Progress
Team Strength: represents the relative man hours available for development.
Score: represents the number of points we completed coding in the iteration.
Baseline Velocity: represents the speed of our progress, and is measured by taking the average of the previous 3 iterations.
Bug Metric
Note: No coding was done in iteration 1, 2 and 3, hence, there were no bugs reported.

Deployment
Application Launch
On the 23rd March 2013, we launched and deployed our application - LivingNet
In order to achieve our objectives of adding value to our sponsors through a high usage rate of our application by the condo residents, we adopted a very methodological and reiterative approach towards our Deployment Strategy. This involved a 5 step process which is currently still ongoing.
Step 1: Sponsor Approval
This step involves establishing an approval process to ensure the sponsor is kept abreast of our deployment developments and can advise and give inputs to our project.
Step 2: Training
Training for users, especially the administrators is essential step to have before actual launch. Hence we conducted two training sessions for Daud,the condo's managing agent.
Step 3: Marketing
In order to ensure residents sign up for the application, they first need to be aware of our launch hence we made use of three main marketing collateral, namely Email, Circulars and Posters/Standees.
Step 4: Actual Deployment of LivingNet
We went live on the 23rd of March 2013 where our app was deployed on the main site. We also had an introductory session held at the function room of the condo to guide any residents who came down to sign up for the application. We also sent out emails and circulars with temporary usernames and passwords to incentivise residents to sign up quickly.
Step 5: Feedback & Update
It was essential for us to obtain any feedback and update the application as soon as possible to ensure users maintained high levels of satisfaction with the application. Hence we held a Feedback and Enquiry Session on the 30th March, one week after our launch to obtain the feedback of our residents. We obtained a lot of valuable feedback and recommendations as well as received feedback on the desire for the application to provide a community platform for residents to interact with one another. We already have that function in our application but it is still pending approval of our sponsors due to logistics reasons.
Separate Development Site
As we are constantly maintaining a live, deployed site, we have to create a separate developmental site for us to test new functionalities. You can use the dummy accounts shown below to try out our app on the developmental site. However, do not that we are constantly deploying new code and testing new functions. If you do encounter any issues/problems feel free to email us at helpdesk@beaconheights.com.sg and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
