Project Management
Provide more details about the status, schedule and the scope of the project. Describe the complexity of the project.
Project Status:
Project Schedule (Plan Vs Actual):
Summary of Planned vs Actual Schedule
Schedule Changes
- Change 1: Admin Module (CRUD Users) shifted from Iteration 6 to Iteration 7 due to lack of time as we identified more use-cases than planned.
- Change 2: Manage Personal Finance Module (CRUD Insurances) shifted from Iteration 7 to Iteration 8 as there were too many tasks in Iteration 7.
- Change 3: Admin Module (Statistics of Community) and User Profile Module (Export PDF Report) shifted from Iteration 8 to Iteration 10. This was because of new additions of tasks in Iteration 8.
- Change 4: User Test 3 was pushed earlier to Iteration 9 from Iteration 10. This is to test our application once more before Mid-terms presentation.
- Change 5: Financial Health Module (Predictive Analysis of Credit Worthiness) shifted from Iteration 9 to Iteration 11. This is an Optional function. As new higher priority features were added, this optional task was pushed to a later iteration.

Iteration 8
- 3 high severity bugs – new users were not able to update database when they navigate from the homepage
- Due to changes made to the database
Project Risks:
Click here to see how we identify risks, decide on the risk levels and action plans to take when necessary.
These are our top 3 risks:
Risk Type | Risk Description | Impact | Likelihood | Impact | Category | Mitigation Plan | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Project Management Risk | Most team members are doing internship and are only free to meet outside office hours with clients and supervisors. | Delay in settling important decisions that require sponsor/supervisors' briefing. | High | High | A | PM to keep steady communication with our sponsor through emails so that the whole team can be in the loop. Also, could call the client as we realised that the client prefers calls however this would lead to difficulty in conveying full information to members as sometimes there might be too many information to recall in one phone conversation. | Mitigated |
Project Requirement Risk | Sponsor adding new functionality on ad-hoc basis | Project schedule will be affected and team has to brainstorm on solution to achieve end goal of Sponsor's request | High | Medium | A | Communicate and discuss with sponsor to negotiate scope, timeline and resources. | Mitigated |
Project Development Risk | New use-cases that were only realized during development and not in planning phase. | Change in development schedule. | High | Medium | A | Lead developer to discuss with PM immediately when situation arises. PM to re-schedule development and use buffer days if needed. | Mitigated |
Technical Complexity:
Backend has many different dependencies
Social Module
- Many different use-cases to consider.
- Complexity occurs when different permutations occurs for each case.
Linking data fields from across different Modules
- Complexity occurs when user wants to manipulate his data. System has to be robust to be able to handle different scenarios.

Reflection
Team Reflection:
Any training and lesson learn? What are the take-away so far? It would be very convincing if the knowledge is share at the wiki knowledge base and linked here.
Chen Shiqi:
“I learnt the usefulness of proper review of past iterations can help in the success in planning for future iterations.”
Muhammad Izzuddin Bin Yushuff:
“ I learnt new technologies i.e. node and how to implement best practices in developing a something application.”
Peh Zu Cheng:
“I learn how the design of an application , no matter how much preparation and effort put in, can only be proven to be successful after going through tests with users themselves.”
Siranjeeviyan S/O Gopal
"Since acceptance, i've learnt that time management is very critical in order to deliver functions required by the client. Furthermore, i've become more efficient in conducting internal testing of functions and resolving bugs found, which is a result of my improved ability to code in Javascript (AngularJs). I hope to further improve my coding ability and subsequently contribute to providing a robust application for client."
Winnie Liew
“Having to juggle with FYP and other modules challenges me to plan ahead and utilizes every minutes well. A task list to keep me moving forward and tracking of my progress. I hope that the end product of this project will bring values to all the PMETS.”
Aung Swemon
“learnt new technical skills such as ionic framework in order to deliver the features required. I also learnt how to adapt to changes required in a limited time efficiently.”
