S/N Change Event Affected Sprint Change Action Description
1 Change from total 11 sprints to 10 sprints. From Sprint 5 onwards In view of the beta launch before 17 Feb 14, we re-scrum all functions in view of the change in the business requirement. Hence we pushed a bit more functions into Sprint 5. However, Sprint 5 also span across the 2 exam weeks where the team took a break to study, thus it is not the one with the heaviest workload either.
2 Start and End date from Sprint 5 - 10 have changed. From Sprint 5 onwards Sprint 5: 18 Nov 13 - 17 Dec (30 days) to 18 Nov 13 - 31 Dec 13 (44 days)

2. View Squib Tier 3 "Track User Location" (User)

27-Jan-14 / 6

In view of the changed schedule, schedule will be too packed if the following two stories are placed in sprint 7.

7 The following user test dates are changed.

1. User Test 2 is shifted to 10 - 12 Feb 14
2. User Test 3: 17 - 21 Feb 14

4-Feb-14 / 7 In view of the delay of the product launch, the CBL is now scheduled on the 17 Feb instead on 10 Feb, we are currently doing more application changes and proposes this change.
8 Change the date of User Test 3 from start date 17 Feb to 20 Feb 16-Feb-14 / 7

Proposed to change to this date as advertiser needed more time to test the application and upload the squib on our platform. This hinders the released of the beta accounts to the users by 4 days from 17 Feb to 20 Feb. Therefore the user tests can only be conducted on the 20 Feb.


Technical
S/N Change Event Changed Date / Sprint Change Action Description

User Test Date of Test Objectives Number of participants Age range
Heuristic Evaluation 19-Oct-13 It is a way to highlight usability issues in our paper prototype. We followed the Ten Usability Heuristics reading by Jakob Nielsen. Using these, evaluators will list as many usability issues as possible. It is able to help us to identify problems and decide how we can solve it. For detailed and concise description to the usability problem and solution, please see our Heuristic Evaluation findings 4 23 - 26

Summary of the user test.

  • A total of 3 user tests has been conducted for both advertiser and user. This is to ensure at we meet the real need of advertiser and value add to users.
  • Enable us to build a more user-friendly application that meets the need of advertiser. It is not to convert sales, but to create more eye-balls to their promotion.
  • It is value adding to the user's live. MOre useful content was exposed to the user to create more awareness of the promotion and could potentially be their customer.
  • Unexpected event occur such in bugs during Closed Beta Launch. However, the team was able to resolve it within a reasonably fast response time, thus delayed some of the functions in Sprint 7. Please see Metric for more details.
  • We also faced one hacker that tried to inject codes into our system too! With our fast and quick response time, we manage to spot the outlier and manage to do mitigations and prevent the hacker to further hack our system.
  • User Test results were generally very positive with general comments such as "Interesting Concept!", "Nice and pleasing user interface.", "Cool application".

Quality of the project

Team Reflection:

Communication

Our team has better communication for the past 5 weeks. We have learnt how to express our thoughts, opinions and suggestion in a open manner where no idea is a stupid idea. We support each other and learnt from each other of what can be improved via our communication.

Client's expectations

We have learnt that it is not easy to manage client's expectation. They may not understand the complexity of the project of what the codes comprises. But we have learn how to manage their expectations for the past 5 weeks in order to make sure that our project is not out of track and behind schedule. We have learnt how to become change agents in order to handle incoming constant change requests from both users, advertisers and sponsor.

Knowledge sharing

Learning never stops. This project has greatly enhance each other knowledge and we all learnt from one another.
