Project Progress Status Summary
As a team, we have completed
Our project has 14 iterations in total. We are in the midst of our 14th iteration(10Nov - 23Nov). Link to MyHubStore > http://www.myhubstore.com
- Till date of 7th Oct 2014,we have completed 100% (27 out of 27 tasks) of our project.
- Two user testings have been conducted.
- Note: the very first user testing before acceptance could have been improved by having targetted goals as per advised during our acceptance presentation
- UAT1 is done following required procedures after acceptance at the end of iteration9
- UAT2 is done following required procedures after acceptance at the end of iteration12
- Five Functionality Testing with sponsor
- 10 progress update meetings with sponsor
Functions Completed:

So far, we have completed all tasks planned on schedule is in the mist of preparing for final presentation. We have also done our UAT2 A/B Testing at the end of iteration12. Details can be found under quality assurance
Our team has always been on task for all iterations since iterration10, project management wise we are indeed getting better and better. We did face some problems while discussing some design related issues with our sponsor, however, we overcome this issue and have bridged an efficient way of communicating to him and he has been very supported and has given us great flexibility for deciding on which technology to use etc. An example to raise is the change in payment technology from PayPal to Google Wallet. Key reasons raised for this change is due to the expensive need for an SSL Certificate as well as the unwilling need for a redirect out of MyHubStore to make payment.

Our Goal By Final Presentation Is To Hit A Staggering 100 Shops With Close To A 1000 Items Listed On MyHubStore.com!
Project Management
Project Schedule:
Schedule Breakdown by iteration
Planned V.S Actual
- Key Change 1: Administrator Module Split Across Iteration 11 and 12
- Primary Reason attributed to sponsor increasing requirements for Administrator Module
- After our last discussion with sponsor, our developer demoed all completed functionalities to him and he added in and specify some requirements and together we've made some changes in direction for our administrative function. Such as we changed from making visual representation of information provided by Facebook Graph API, Google+ API and Twitter API to making the presentation by Google Analytics (which is not easy to implement) and our originally planned social network APIs.
- Key Change 2: Added UAT 3 (A/B Testing) To Iteration 12
- The Team want to use this experiment to find out user sentiments and potentially enhance content. Goal is to increase conversion rate in platform users
- We believe that A/B Testing is necessary for our app because it can help us compare different user sentiments and reaction towards different UI/interface designs by controlling the rest variables so as to help us choose and refine the better option and eventually and it can potentially boost click through rate and conversion rate.

Project Metrics
Schedule Metric
Full Excel Tracking of our Schedule Metrics Can Be Found Here << Click To Download
Iteration 8
- (Twitter Integration) completed on schedule
Iteration 9
- (Twitter Integration) completed ahead of schedule
- Action:Extra time was put in researching on google payment function
Iteration 10
- (Payment Function) completed a bit behind schedule
- Reason:
- Majority of time spent on Google Wallet and consolidation of UAT & Heuristic Testing results
- Time also spent on preparing and finalizing mid-term related documents
- Action:
- Team meeting was hold to discuss cause of issue
- Re-prioritize our future task and re-estimate required time for each task based on developers' knowledge and research
Iteration 11
- (Administrator and Admin Analytics Function)
- We are currently in the mist of it and all functionalities to be completed for this iteration is on schedule
Bug Metric

Bug Count and Bug Metrics
Insights and takeaways
- Large spike in bugs seen in Iteration 8 were due to fixing previous iteration bugs. This include display bugs and changes which sponsor requested for
- Bugs were fixed within Iteration 8 and did not cause any delay to the schedule
- Our developers are fast for interation9 tasks and are familiar with the technologies involved, thus no. of bugs found for this iteration is quite low
- There is an increase in number of bugs for iteration10 due to the completion of gathering UAT as well as discussion with clients.
Current Risk
Key Risks | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigating Actions |
---|---|---|---|
Improper Selection of Users For UAT will Result In Inconclusive Results
|
High | High | 1. Define clear goals for the UAT and identify primary target group for MyHubStore
|
Google Wallet May Be Not As Widely Accepted As Other Payment Platforms
|
High | Medium | 1. Considering Conducting A/B Testing of Payment Module using Google Wallet vs PayPal in Iteration 12 2. Track Usage of Google Wallet Going Forward |
Lack of Experience With New APIs May Result In Delays in Project Schedule
|
High | Medium | 1. Progressively track and update schedules to identify iterations which have higher technical complexities |
Technical Complexity
1st Technical Complexity - Leverage On APIs To Improve E-Commerce Experience
2nd Technical Complexity (Google Wallet for Digital Goods With Recurring Billing)
3rd Technical Complexity (Google Analytics & Social Network Analytics)
Quality Assurance
UT 1 was conducted on ..... We had 10 participants. all of them are SMU students.
Using personal laptop, we asked the participants (users) to:
- Create a MyHubStore account
- Search for a Specific Item
- Share an item via any Social Media Website: Facebook/Twitter Store
Using personal laptop, we asked the participants (store owners) to:
- Set up Store
- Upload an item onto store and main store page
Summary of UAT1
- By conducting our UAT which aim to test above tasks, we were able to generated good insights of what people like and dislike about our projects. Our 10 participants were all very supportive and helpful and most of them were able to provide genuine and useful feedbacks. Our team has consolidated the results and did some necessary analysis for this UAT and reflected on how we can further improve our product.
