Summary of Key Findings:

Function Users' Behavior Changes to be Made
Cancel Order User suggested to add touch ID for cancel order We will include touch ID for cancel order
Place New Order When user placed a new order, there are some overlap in that page We will fix the problem by changing front-end code
Balance Page The chart to display the lock balance and available balance is confusing We will add explanation in the chart
Drawer for IOS When user change to simplified Chinese version, IOS version's drawer is not translated We faced some difficulties on this issue and we will fix it before finals
Login First time login fail will cause the second time login to have the same pop up information even when login is successful We will fix the problem by changing front-end code
Terms and Condition Users try to click the terms and conditions but it cannot work We will add the terms and conditions link
Help Page The keyboard cannot be dismissed after typing We will fix the problem by changing front-end code
Help Bot Some users feel the bot is not very useful We will keep training the bot and make it smarter



Team Reflection


Team Reflection:
Communication with our Sponsors and Supervisor is very important in order for our team to keep align with the requirements and to avoid mismatch of expectations. This is especially so during this time period where we are expecting and anticipating changes from MAS regulations which directly impact the operations of our sponsor company. Our team has set out clear communications and in frequent contact, meetings with sponsors and supervisors.

Shangguan Yajie:
Doing a project with new business idea is very challenging, I need identify the risk and have proper plan to deal with the risk. And also the stakeholder management is very important and I learnt a lot from this experience.

Vivian Quark:
Conducting user testings can be challenging sometimes because every individuals may have different interpretations and understanding of our application. This resulted in the need to convey required changes with my team's developers in order to enhance user friendliness. There were some discussions and debating on certain new functionalities within the team but everyone did it for the betterment and improvement of the application.

Qi Zhen Yi:
During this midterm, as I have already picked up the skills before acceptance, there are not much technical challenges actually. The only challenge is meeting expectation of the team. While designing for wiki pages, I often followed my own way and sometimes people’s preferences are different. So I learnt to communicate with the team more to ask for feedback and try to resolve at early stage.

Xu Jia Wen:
I learnt from our user testing and sponsor, supervisor feedback and came up with innovative ideas to improve user experience. I also learnt collaboration is a key to a successful project.

Yongyi:
After the last major milestone, I got my hands on even more amazing technologies and frameworks such as emailers. Working with our sponsor, we also optimized our workflow and I gained valuable insights on how an order-matching process should be properly executed. I also learned that server security is paramout and got an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and inplementation of various IT security measures such as HTTP signatures. Although we faced challenges, by working closely within ourselves and with our sponsor we managed to overcome them and make ourselves a more resilient team.

Jinlong:
From acceptance to Midterm, our project has moved forward a lot. During this period, I tried to improve the UI and most of the base structure to improve the performance. I realized that making a fully functional app is easy, but making an perfect app is hard, especially when we are new to certain framework. Even though the changes at frontend may not be significant to the user, but much underneath work need to be done to deliver the perfect user experience.
