- Risk 1: The team implemented change management plan in order to evaluate the changes requested by the client. View our Change Management Here!
- 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.
Technical Complexity
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
- The above image is generated from the class list
Excel Read&Write
800px
- For the convenience of the trainer, the trainer can download a copy of the class list into excel and use it to fill up the class' grades and attendance.

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.
