Reflection

Team Reflection

The project has offered an enriching experience for the team. The team, in particular, has learnt the importance of effective communications with stakeholders to ensure that every part of development is aligned with the business requirements and the expectations.

Individual Reflection

Individual Reflection:

Bernita
As a whole, FYP has taught me more about communicating with various stakeholders. Depending on the stakeholder, ideas have to be explained in such a way that they can understand. For example, a business person with no technical knowledge will not understand the limitations of a program. Another instance would be if we do not provide evidence of our hardwork or statements that we make, our words may not be well understood or worse, it may be breed mistrust. Overall, FYP has also pushed me to think out of the box and learn independently and as a team

Jae Hyeong
Through FYP, not only did I learn to work under pressure and time constraints, but I’ve also learnt to enjoy the process of overcoming challenges with my team. The project has also offered a great learning experience to apply the knowledge and skills we learn in school to a real life project. I learnt the importance of strong communication with sponsor to gather frequent user feedback to improve our application and following a detailed work schedule to ensure we meet our project goals/milestone on time.

Jagdish
My FYP journey has taught me 3 main lessons. Firstly, you are your only limit. During the past 9 months, I have challenged myself more than i could have imagined. Secondly, the importance of communication between all stakeholders cannot be underestimated. Lastly, TEAM means Together Everyone Achieves More but also a team is only as strong as its weakest player.

Min Oo
This past few months have been a deep learning curve for me. I learnt a lot in managing stakeholders, delivering the product on time, and finding the best architecture to suit the business process. I would say that these past few months have nurtured me and made myself confident as programming has not been an easy road for me.

Yu Mai
Looking back on our journey, I am confident if we were to redo everything with the knowledge we gained we could accomplish it all in a fraction of the time we have spent. It was a challenging, tiring yet fruitful challenge that has definitely given me invaluable experience, especially in the area of project management, software development and client relationship management.
