Deployment Progress

- Major Milestones: Midterm Presentation (10 October)
- Functions: Blog, Roster
Project Highlights
- Multiple changes in scope since our original start, even after acceptance.
- The design aspect of our public facing website is constantly changing.
- Related to the above point, design is equally important to functionality as our client is a fashion retailer thus necessitating a different approach to building the project.
- Our end client has changed constantly throughout the project from the IT director to the IT department to the HR director to the HR department.
- We had problems deploying to the server provided by the client and learnt about the server provided to us.
- The team is consistently thinking of ways to value add to our project, even up to midterms.
