We have completed the primary functionalities of the project scope - the primary architecture of the for each modules. We are currently progressing into the secondary module - Accessibility Module. The project schedule is segregated into different phases to provide an overview for each development phase.

<b>Scope Changes:</b>
 +
* Schedule is categorized in Phases, followed by Iterations in each Phases, to give a better overview on what the Team aims to achieve for each stage of development.
  
* Team is currently progressing into the secondary module - Accessibility Module
+
<b>Time Constraint:</b>
* Everyone was busy during December 2014, hence iteration was altered to Technology Exploration Phase, to explore technologies required for this project.
+
* Time was required to explore new technologies for the application such as D3 library for Data-Visualization Module, Leaflet for Geo-Visualization Module and PostGIS for Geo-Processing Module.
* Two out of four testing sessions were conducted. The objectives for these testing sessions were to gather User Experience feedback on the user interface of the application.
+
* Increased complexity in Phase 3, for Data-Visualization, in preparation for the first User Experience Test with URA to gather feedback on application.
 +
 
 +
<b>Technical Difficulties:</b>
 +
* Processing filtered data sets in PostGIS database.

 +
<b>Changes that were made:</b>
 +
# Made Tabular View Module part of Data-Visualization Module because this involves just developing of a simple table.
 +
# Made Coordinate Linked View Module part of Geo-Visualization Module because this involves interaction between clicking of icons on the map with the charts.
 +
# Replaced Analytics Module with Accessibility Module because URA already has a group of Masters students helping them in this area.

<b>About Accessibility Module:</b><br>
 +
This module involves identifying the accessibility of a property to the nearby facilities. The identified facilities serves the primary needs of the residents, based on walkability or transport. These facilities include bus-stops, primary and secondary schools, parks, community centers, etc. The purpose of having an Accessibility Index is to observe the relationship between Accessibility with the price of the Property.<br><br>
 +
Given that the main focus of this project is building PostGIS database, this module will be heavily reliant on PostGIS database through processing calculations at the back-end. Further explanation on PostGIS architecture will be in [[#Technical Complexity|Technical Complexity]].

<b>Comments by The Team:</b><br>
 +
* Scope of modules were overlooked. Some were too simple, while the rest were too complex.
 +
* Completion of modules were not ranked based on the primary to secondary needs. Instead, modules scheduled based on the importance and simplicity.
 +
* The team was unclear of the requirements and scope when this was planned, however, changes were made along the way, reflecting on the completion deadline of each modules.
 +
 +
<b>Changes that were made:</b><br>
 +
* Added phases to the schedule as a top-level overview for each iterations. The purpose of this is to give an overview of the development progress for the project.
 +
* Schedule has been edited after the first iteration in the picture above. The newly edited planned schedule is shown below.

Overview

Slides for Mid-Term Review Link to our product

REALIS Current Progress Phase5.png

We have completed the primary functionalities of the project scope - the primary architecture of the for each modules. We are currently progressing into the secondary module - Accessibility Module. The project schedule is segregated into different phases to provide an overview for each development phase.

Project Progress

Scope Changes:

  • Schedule is categorized in Phases, followed by Iterations in each Phases, to give a better overview on what the Team aims to achieve for each stage of development.

Time Constraint:

  • Time was required to explore new technologies for the application such as D3 library for Data-Visualization Module, Leaflet for Geo-Visualization Module and PostGIS for Geo-Processing Module.
  • Increased complexity in Phase 3, for Data-Visualization, in preparation for the first User Experience Test with URA to gather feedback on application.

Technical Difficulties:

  • Processing filtered data sets in PostGIS database.

Project Management

Project Status

REALIS ProjectSchedule MidTerm Scope.png

Changes that were made:

  1. Made Tabular View Module part of Data-Visualization Module because this involves just developing of a simple table.
  2. Made Coordinate Linked View Module part of Geo-Visualization Module because this involves interaction between clicking of icons on the map with the charts.
  3. Replaced Analytics Module with Accessibility Module because URA already has a group of Masters students helping them in this area.

Completed Features:

Module Feature Description
Data Upload Upload data into application Update: This function has been replaced with the PostGIS database where datasets are stored.
Geo-Processing Geo-database Internal processing of data to transaction points is implemented. This is for accessibility module.
Geo-Visualization Geospatial analysis An interactive visual map-based data is implemented.
Data-Visualization Visual analysis Interactive charts are implemented with filtering functions.

About Accessibility Module:
This module involves identifying the accessibility of a property to the nearby facilities. The identified facilities serves the primary needs of the residents, based on walkability or transport. These facilities include bus-stops, primary and secondary schools, parks, community centers, etc. The purpose of having an Accessibility Index is to observe the relationship between Accessibility with the price of the Property.

Given that the main focus of this project is building PostGIS database, this module will be heavily reliant on PostGIS database through processing calculations at the back-end. Further explanation on PostGIS architecture will be in Technical Complexity.

Comments by The Team:

  • Scope of modules were overlooked. Some were too simple, while the rest were too complex.
  • Completion of modules were not ranked based on the primary to secondary needs. Instead, modules scheduled based on the importance and simplicity.
  • The team was unclear of the requirements and scope when this was planned, however, changes were made along the way, reflecting on the completion deadline of each modules.

Changes that were made:

  • Added phases to the schedule as a top-level overview for each iterations. The purpose of this is to give an overview of the development progress for the project.
  • Schedule has been edited after the first iteration in the picture above. The newly edited planned schedule is shown below.

Iteration 1: Requirements Gathering
Error Message Impact Solutions Date of Bug Faced Time of Bug Faced Date of Bug Solved Time of Bug Solved Days for Debug
CSV file containing transaction data is loaded but could not print out JSON string due to null pointer exception. High Impact - 5 Do a thorough cleaning on CSV file to scan for null values 01/11/2014 1000 03/11/2014 1200 3
Interactive legend does not work properly as filtering by only one property types still returns results of multiple property types. Low Impact - 1 Making use of a crossfilter library, dc.js to re-code the legend part in order to achieve correct results. 03/11/2014 1400 04/11/2014 1600 2
Iteration 2: Technology Exploration
Error Message Impact Solutions Date of Bug Faced Time of Bug Faced Date of Bug Solved Time of Bug Solved Days for Debug
No bugs as this iteration consists of only research on technologies used for the project.
Iteration 3: Wire-frames and Mockup Designs
Error Message Impact Solutions Date of Bug Faced Time of Bug Faced Date of Bug Solved Time of Bug Solved Days for Debug
Line graphs disappear when using date filter High Impact - 5 Make use of a new JavaScript cross-filter helper library, reductions, to re-code the line graphs. 09/01/2015 1200 13/01/2015 0200 5
Not aware that coordinates returned by invoking OneMap API are in SVY21 projection system. Hence map points are in wrong positions. High Impact - 5 Make use of external JavaScript libraries for geo-projection conversion, called SVY21(). 09/01/2015 1000 11/01/2015 1200 3
When user keys in a search query, search function might return global results instead of Singapore results. Low Impact - 1 Make the search function localised in Singapore instead of in a global scale. 29/01/2015 1400 31/01/2015 1600 3
Iteration 4: Architecture Designs
Error Message Impact Solutions Date of Bug Faced Time of Bug Faced Date of Bug Solved Time of Bug Solved Days for Debug
Cannot retrieve the data from the PostGis database due to the mismatch of column names. High Impact - 5 Standarise the column name between the the java and javascipt files. 14/02/2015 1400 15/02/2015 1600 2
Inconsistent filter criteria when the pie chart is changed to row chart and vice-versa for the onclick event. Low Impact - 1 Apply the filter criteria to the rendering of the chart for the onclick event. 13/02/2015 0900 14/02/2015 1200 2
Polygon selection of the markers on the map does not affect the chart popup. Low Impact - 1 Change to the correct div id of the chart popup. 15/02/2015 1300 16/02/2015 1600 2

Project Risks

Preparation Phase
Risk Probability Impact Result Mitigation
Bugs in charting library High High A Look for alternative charting
Sponsors unsure of product delivery (they are unsure if analytics module is really needed) High High A Do a prototype first as a proof of concept
Coordinated linked view High High A Use filter for individual module
Stakeholder requirements not effectively communicated High High A Prepare more than what is required as a proof of concept
Using new libraries, such as D3 and leaflet Moderate Moderate B Do Research on the library prior to coding

Testing

29 January 2015 & 12 February 2015 : User Experience Test
Objective Questions Asked Feedback Solution

To gather user experience feedback on the prototype after demonstrating the application to the participants.

  1. What information presented on the tooltip is considered irrelevant to you?
  2. Which charts are redundant?
  3. Which charts are difficult to understand?
  4. Which charts are useful for your analysis?
  5. What charts do you use in your daily job?
  6. Is the layout of the application aesthetically pleasing?
  7. What do you think of the placement of the map and charts?
  8. What other features would you like to see on this application?
  9. Which feature(s) you think is/are useful but needs improvement?

3 Property Analysts and 2 IT System Analysts

  1. Too many graphs/buttons to click on. It is confusing and aesthetically unpleasing. Graphs like bar chart, line chart and pie chart are enough
  2. Selection of base maps is not required. They are good with just one layout
  3. Include search by tenant, district and properties that are nearby and comparable, size of property
  4. PDF download of data in various format
  5. Select an area to choose multiple points
  6. Need to improve on accuracy
  7. Cut down on the amount of information shown in the tool tip to 4-5 lines
  8. Change the x-axis units of the graphs to month instead of days
  9. Fixed layout for the graphs are preferable
  10. Do drop down for categories like districts etc

3 Physical Planners

  1. Good to have an option to search by postal code
  2. Improve on the accuracy in mapping postal code to lat long
  3. Too many different combinations of pictures and colors in markers which are confusing
  4. Draw a polygon on the map to select multiple markers and show the results
  5. Add in the ability to have street view. This is important to the planners
  1. Implement relevant charts based on the Property Analysts/Planners feedback.
  2. Implement a search function for postal codes, planning areas, districts, etc.
  3. Implement a drawing function for selection of multiple markers on the map.
