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

Handover Meeting

Handover Meeting with Sponsor at FundPlaces Office

Handover (Citadel).jpg

Team Citadel met up with our sponsor at FundPlaces office to discuss about FYP handover. Sponsor expressed great satisfaction to our end product of the application and will endorse their full support in signing off the testings we conducted over the past 3 months to ensure functionalities are all good to be push to production once MAS regulations are cleared.


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:
Through this project, I have learnt the following:

  • As a project manager, I understand the importance of stakeholder management and planning and also I need to always have backup plans and be flexible when changes occurs.
  • As a team, we need to adapt to different working styles and sometimes compromise is necessary
  • It is very importance to conduct different testing in different stages and getting users' feedback.


Vivian Quark:
This FYP have taught me about Murphy's law- If something can go wrong, it can go wrong. There are numerous hiccups along the way and I have learnt how to manage user's expectations,sponsor's expectations and team's expectations. User testings gave great insights on how we can further improve our applications and the team have always been committed of continuous learning and continuous improvement. I have learnt how important it is in putting user empathy first in any functionalities or user interfaces we develop. Secondly, there is a need to constantly gather feedback and do research on consumer behavior, to think in their perspective and to discover what terminologies/functionalities they may find it difficult to understand. It has been a great learning experience to collect these qualitative and quantitative data and correlate them to customer journey, application performance and business outcomes.

Qi Zhen Yi:
Through this whole journey of FYP, I have picked up valuable skills which could only be learnt with such experiences and the team. There were many mind blowing nights and days which we spent as a group and achieved our milestone. And finally we are here. As an individual, not only I have picked up design, technical and financial knowledge through out the journey. The most challenging and fulfilling experience for me is always meeting expectation of the team. While I first started my role as app designer, I prefer to follow my own way and not willing to easily give in for others’ preferences. So at the time, it was tough for me. However, I was glad that despite all the differences, we still managed to work as a team and learn to communicate with others. I also learnt to be more proactive and ask more for feedbacks and try to resolve any issues at early stage. Really glad we made it through and did our best as a team.

Xu Jia Wen:
We could have gone for a safer choice for this FYP but we didn't. We wanted to do something more innovative, more industry-related in a real-world context. So except all the cutting-edge technologies we learnt for this project, I learnt how to deal with challenges and deal with difficult people. We did face many challenges and hit some bumps during the journey. But we managed to get through all of them and bounced back stronger. And I think all the challenges we faced in this project , such as MAS regulation issue and non-compatible technology issue, do happen a lot in real life. And all these invaluable experiences will definitely help me in my future career.

Yongyi:
After the last major milestone, I took a deeper dive in to analytics and code performance optimization. We worked as a group and came up with ways to make our code more efficient. I also learned how to modularize Javascript code with closures, for better readability and modularity. Although we faced challenges, by working closely within ourselves and with our sponsor we managed to overcome them.

Jinlong:
This Final Year Project has been a great journey, I am fully exposed to the new technologies such as react-native and managed to master it eventually. At the beginning, I feel foreign to React-native because I am a native Android developer. However, my perspective towards React-native changes as I realized it is a powerful framework. Similar to AngularJS, react-native is also written in JS(X) and has the concept of one-way binding.

I feel that it is revolutionary as it saves a lot of time dedicated in development phase. During the last hurdle of our project, I encountered what I considered as the biggest issue in FYP which is, React-native has its own limitation in functions like web-socket. After much tries and struggles, I decided to convert and do it as a hybrid app. From this, I learnt we should not just rely on one tech because sometimes hybrid is better!

As the main front-end developer, I shoulder a huge responsibility in UI/UX. However, one shortcoming is that I have not take IDP classes yet and UI is proven to be challenging to me at the start. With the help from Jia Wen, we managed to revamp our UI and make it extraordinary! Team work is essentially important especially when we meet with challenges and solidarity makes our group to be outstanding!
