Project Highlights

Our project schedule is divided into 12 iterations.

  • Till date of 18 February 2015, we have completed about 80% of our development progress.
  • Two user testing with users (before acceptance and before midterms)
  • Beta release on 17 February 2015, with actual administrators using the system (before midterms).
  • Current iteration: 8
  • Iteration 8: 5 February 2015 - 23 February 2015

Delayed due to the potential change in sponsor and the team was changing some aspects of the interface after acceptance presentation.

Follow up action: Iteration 4 was delayed by 3 days. However, the following iteration started after the exam break. No buffer day is used.

Project Risks

View our risk management here!

No Risk Description Impact Likelihood Impact Category Mitigation Plan
1 Sponsor changes requirements on an ad hoc basis Project schedule will be affected Medium Medium B Project Manager and Business Analyst to work with sponsor closely to monitor and modify the team plan after every iteration. Team to evaluate on a case-by-case basis
2 Unable to get the administrators to test the system as the training facility is still being built Unable to get genuine feedback from users and hence affect the usability of the system High High A Project manager will work closely with the sponsor to source for similar training facilities and conduct observations and tests with them.

Project Manager to work closely with sponsor to plan each functions.

The above two risks has been mitigated.

  1. Risk 1: The team implemented change management plan in order to evaluate the changes requested by the client. View our Change Management Here!
  2. Risk 2: Sponsor and the team went to find through their own personal contacts and managed to gather a total of 2 other training hubs to help.

Generation of Certificates

  • Sterling needs to generate certificates for pupils who have completed their courses
  • Populate certs in a given format and exporting them to pdf for printing

Testing

We have conducted two user testing and one heuristic evaluation.

heuristic Evaluation

  • Venue: Singapore Management University, School of Information Systems
  • 5 participants
  • This is to learn more about the usability of our application and improve it further in our future designs. This was conducted with a paper prototype. A paper prototype was used because we want to be able to discover UI issues early, so that the cost of changing will not be so high.

View our Heuristics Evaluation documentation here!

User Testing 1

  • Date: 10 October 2014
  • Venue: Sterling Engineering Training Hub
  • 1 Academic One Administrator
  • 2 Cerealtech School Of Baking Technology Administrator
  • 1 administrator from CSIS Industries Administrator

View our UT1 documentation here!

User Testing 2

  • Date: 29 January 2015
  • Venue: Sterling Engineering Training Hub
  • 3 Sterling Engineering Training Hub Administrators
