Change Management Highlights

Iteration Description Reason Priority Reason Action Status
7 Added new Module

Image:

- Image Cropping

- Image Uploading
Supervisor feedback that image size is critical for database performance and team decided to implement new module to handle image compression and other functionalities.

Supervisor suggested that it is important for the tourist to know how good is the tour based on community feedback, team decided to implement the displaying of tour rating as stars on marketplace and allow tourist to rate completed tour and provide feedback. Previous function only allows tourist to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to rate the tour which is inadequate 2 Proceed as change request does not affect project schedule Project scope and timeline updated Completed
