Review of Team Meeting 27/9/2011

On our third meeting (which was delayed by 2 hours because of laundry catastrophe on Fyn island), we:
  • Discussed our list of ideas, talked deeper about some of them, discussed +/-. 
  • Decided to lower amount of ideas to 3:
    • discount sharing/tracking system/community
    • music app - concert for free 
    • (drinking) phone games(s)
  • Discussed and agreed on rules for voting 
    • everyone should sort ideas by the highest priority
    • first idea on list will be awarded 3 points, second 2 points and third 1 point
    • vote will be anonymous
  • After counting all votes we decided to go for a system for tracking and sharing discounts. 
  •  Reviewed all our previous points and basic information about this application, talked more into a deep about:
    • "What are our expectations of this app?"
    • "What problems we will have to challenge during development of this app?"
    • "How should our final product look like?"
    • and many more questions
  • We started formulating Project Description, Problem Statement and also Project Foundation.
  • We decided to wait with dividing team roles since we don't have our Belbin test results yet
  • In a shortcut our final product should be able to provide user with system where he can track/share discounts/prices for a specific type of items in close proximity of his current location and thus help other users to find closest/cheapest product.
  •  We divided main problem into few largest sub-problems:
    • Creating website where you can access this service after entering your current location.
    • Creating android app, which will also, as a website, provide access to this service but of course with some (dis)advantages coming from the using cell phone app.
    • Create a database accessible either from website or android application.
    • Create a system for filling a database with the latest information about prices (either using internet tracking of closest shops and theirs discounts or using tips entered by other users)
  • We divided work on this sub-problems between several people and decided that for next meeting sub-teams should research the following:
    • usable website templates/frameworks, ideas for our web-design, logo
    • research  android development kit and IDE, think about app design, prepare use-case diagram of android app
    • research possible database systems, which would best fit our needs, think about database design, prepare ER datagram of a database
