Project Overview
Project Description
Team Phoenix is building an iPhone Application (SMU App V2) for SMU Macness Society, which is dedicated to Students of Singapore Management University. The application consists of three core functionalities: Facility/Room Booking, Way-Finder, and CCA portal.
Within this iPhone Application, students will be able to find out more information about CCAs in SMU, starting their background information to the list of registered members in SMU. Students will be able to browse available CCAs in SMU and send a registration application to any particular CCA across the campus.
Furthermore, the solution will enhance efficiency for students to book GSRs, SRs, CRs, or other facilities across campus, with an internet connection, anywhere from their iPhone. Ultimately, a Way-Finder will assist user to find corresponding rooms across different schools.
X Factor
This project facilitates as a Proof-of-Concept for an application with real time interaction with SMU’s OASIS and SLiMS (Student Life Management Systems)
Team Motivation
Firstly, the current information dissemination service available for CCAs or Student Clubs in SMU is only by email distribution. Likewise, Student Life Management Systems (SLiMS) in OASIS has a low awareness among SMU students.
Secondly, in regards to facility booking system, students have to personally go to OASIS portal to create, cancel, or confirm. This means that they have to open their PC/laptop in order to perform tasks above. Doing so in mobile phone browser might not be convenient due to the limitation of screen size and/or limitation in browser’s compatibility. Lastly, very often students get confused in finding location of GSRs, SRs, and CRs across different schools.
By having an iPhone application, students will be able to check latest information about different information related to CCA’s background and the latest activities/events/announcement available from every single CCA. Furthermore, the solution would also increase students’ efficiency in creating/confirming/canceling facility booking, anywhere with their iPhone. Eventually, Way-Finder (Mapping Functionality) will assist student to find out room locations in a convenient way. SMU IITS is also interested to invest in applications for Mobile Platforms (iOS and Android) as the trend is moving towards mobile.

Risk & Mitigation Plan
Description | Impact on Project | Probability | Severity | Risk Reduction/Mitigation Strategy |
Significant changes in user requirements | Time and Quality | Low | Low | Ensure that user requirements are fully investigated and agreed before specification. Should there is an ad-hoc change in the requirement, team to discuss the impact of change on project design and schedules. |
Going behind schedule due to unforeseen complications (technical or hardware) | Time (Delay on project schedule) | Low | High | Team to update PM. PM to reschedule iterations and rellocate tasks and resources. Buffer time will be scheduled |
Technical inability for a given function | Deliverables | High | Medium | Team to update PM ASAP. PM needs to schedule a meeting with client to have an internal discussion |
Lack of knowledge in iOS development and Objective C Programming language | Time and Quality | High | Medium | Team members to seek help or self-learn immediately. Team is currently outsourcing in |
Incompatibility with iOS 6 | Quality | Medium | Medium | Team to research current version of Xcode on iOS 6 compatibility |
Problems encountered while having a connection with database | Technical | Medium | High | Tests will be conducted at every iteration to test and evaluate performance when connecting to database |
