Project Progress Summary

Midterm Slides: Download 6nificance Midterm Powerpoint Slides

Current Iteration: 8
Iteration Dates: 02 Oct 2015 - 08 Oct 2015

  • Overall Project Progress: 70%
  • Modules In-Progress: User, Social, Concierge
  • Modules To-Be Done: Analytics
  • Modules Completed: Design, Photo, Collection
  • Team is therefore confident of completing the project and delivering the application on time
  • Android Mobile Application to be deployed on Google Play Store on 06 Oct 2015
  • Back-End Website has been successfully deployed on Google App Engine, http://1-dot-naildeckadminportal-1042.appspot.com/

Project Highlights

  • Project sponsor not confident of producing nail polishes within project timeline due to difficulties with sourcing good quality materials.
  • After selecting a desired color, users can now pre-order nail polish from sponsor and receive it once sponsor is ready to deliver.
  • Team proposed that application will become more focused on social media module in order to encourage active usage and preorders which sponsor agreed and accepted.
  • Team has decided to revamp the whole UI of application to make it look more social media centric. These changes were done in iterations 6 and 7.
    • Removal of navigation drawer
    • Interlinked rest of application features with social module
    • Created new high-fi prototypes
    • Heuristic evaluation done before actual coding for revamp

Project Risks

Risk Description Category Impact Mitigation Strategy
Digital color in application may not match the physical color of nail polish. High Users may end up dissatisfied and no longer use the application. Before ordering, a message will be displayed in the application. It will state that a money-back guarantee is provided if users do not think their nail polish color match with their requested color.
Team is unfamiliar with android development. High Project may be potentially delayed due to time spent on learning. Initial quality of application may be affected as there may be more bugs. PM has allocated more time to Iteration zero to learn about android development.
Sponsor not confident of delivering within project timeline. High Users may not be encouraged to use the application since their desired nail polish may not be ready. Team proposed that social module be the first item that users see to encourage them to actively use the application which sponsor agreed and accepted.

I understood the importance of having a proper test plan so as to ensure efficient and yet high quality testing. Doing this project made me learnt a lot new things about colors and how we have been taking something so simple for granted.

Being in charge of the whole project’s design have forced to constantly improve on my designing skills. I have gained deeper insights on the different designing techniques on beautifying the Android UI.

Understanding and designing the Google Cloud SQL and endpoint was no easy task. Doing this taught me how to better design a database based on our app requirements. Finally, I have learnt how to better integrate different people’s codes at different timing.

I have learnt about various new programming functions and this has widen my technical knowledge about android. Dealing with colors in Android has been very interesting so far as even something like colors can be calculated using numbers.
