Project Highlights
Prior to undertaking this project, the description we received from the sponsor appeared simple and straightfoward which led us to believe that every module was achievable. However, once we took on the project and began pseudo-coding and functionality planning, we realized that the project was not as we thought. The difficulty lies in integrating the various modules together, ensuring information is properly stored in order for each module to correctly retrieve and display for the end user.
Project Challenges
Mailbox Module
Project Achievements
Following the scrum methodology allowed better project management. Regular feedback from our sponsor ensured we delivered artefacts according to sponsor's needs and helped us to identify problems and rectify them early. Usage of metrics such as burndown and velocity charts enabled us to measure productivity, ensuring team efficiency. Overall, the increased communication between scrum master, team, and product owner has facilitated the progress of our project and better manage our sprints.

Unaccepted Stories of Each Sprint
Explanation: At the end of each sprint, the product is shown to our sponsor where functionalities that were implemented during that sprint is demonstrated. If bugs are found or functionality is incorrectly implemented i.e. unaccepted, the product is left inside the product backlog. If the functionality hinders the development of the next function, the user story will be edited accordingly and moved to the next sprint. If the functionality is non-consequential, it will be rescheduled to a later date for fixing. See our Stories page for each sprint's user stories.

Quality
Performance:
1. By having a single point system for Vimbox employees to use, we streamlined the process of transferring information from paper to excel or vice-versa. With VMIS, employees only need key in the information once, and this information is shared across relevant departments.
2. Our system allows the Site Surveyor to generate a quotation on the spot for client to review the moving fee. This speeds up the decision-making process in comparison to the past where a lot of time was wasted on returning back to the Vimbox office in order to draft out a quotation before notifying the customer.
Maintainability:
1. To ensure that our code is maintainable after the handover, we adhered to the standard Java and Javascript coding conventions and minimized deviation.
2. For slightly more complex codes, we included comments that explained the logic flow. We also ensured that our Git commit messages were always meaningful and consistent with the industry accepted standards.
Usability:
Even though our application is an internal system for Vimbox, we tried our best to cater to their business needs as closely as possible. In order to make VMIS more usable, multiple user testings were conducted and valuable feedback was given. Through the understanding our users' behavior, we ensured that our team was within contact whenever users were uncertain of functionalities. We have also included a User Manual during the handover for the client to view when necessary.
