Today's discussion

Hi Jo, in today's class we had a better idea of what to do with the report, so we decided to follow the instructions or suggestions from dekker and as you asked you are going to do the 1+2+8 steps of the plan, Zun is going to do the 4+5+6 and of course I'll do the rest.



So, just to make ourselves clear, we need to be sure of what is going to be the final goal of the whole project, and of course you need to explain it in the most clearer way in the 1+2+8 steps.



So, here are some comments from Zun and me:



1) Be sure to explain that the final product is going to be a prototype of a better careerhub website.



2) Our client, of course, is the people responsible of careerhub.



3) Everything will be based on what users (students and people from UQ) want, so the final purpose is to make these people use careerhub based on our prototype. I mean, provide careerhub this study-prototype so they know what users want!



4) Explain who are going to be the users, in this case the demography comprises of students and staff from UQ since they are the only people who have access to careerhub.



5) Be clear that we are not creating a new service or entering the social networking market, We are simply enhancing the existing careerhub service with features and trends that users are currently familiar with and want to use in the service.

6) Be very very very specific.



Also we need to keep track of everything we do as a team, so we are going to use twitter, be sure to open an account for you and to add Zun so you can "follow" his activities, his username is xsight, I will open an account later on but I'm pretty sure that my username will be chevechiva.



Ralph suggested that we should take a look at http://www.43folders.com/ and read the article about "Getting Things Done (GTD)" by David Allen, he thinks this could be useful for us.



Since my part includes everybody's tasks, once I have the big list we will meet to assign the tasks, of course I will let you know trhe big list so you can add or delete something.

Our next meeting will be on saturday at 12:00, be sure to bring your draft so we put everything together!

Get well!
