I1 I2 E1 C1 C2 Current situation Inception Elaboration Construction Mar 29 – Apr 10 Apr

Progress on the Elaboration iteration 1  Held a structured confirmation interview with Ms. Izel  Yes/No question  Refined the requirements and related documents  Determine the exact development and management tool  PHP Framework: Code igniter  Google code for version controlling, issue tracking, task allocation, and knowledge distribution using built-in wiki  Project schedule monitoring through Gantt chart  Rational Rose for generating UML diagrams  Define the overall architecture based on the most significant use cases and an assessment of risk  The selected PHP framework kind of base lining the architecture for us which is nice  Persistence pattern using Data Mapper.  Model view controller pattern

Progress on the Elaboration iteration 1(cont.)  Risk Management  Risk and the corresponding mitigation/contingency strategy is identified  Documented in the Risk List and Risk Management Plan  Perform object oriented design and analysis on critical use cases (~70%)  Static and dynamic diagram  Documented in the SAD doc and Use case realization doc  Prototypes  Digital prototype for group understanding  Working (not thrown away) prototype for getting rapid customer feedback  ~15% use cases  Iteration plan for next iteration

Problem encountered in this iteration  We have no user involvement in this iteration at all  More frequent short meeting  Cost and benefit is mostly intangible and difficult to measure.  Eg. Customer satisfaction  Must find a way  Documentation becomes a big overhead  we lack experiences in customizing the RUP framework, anyhow, we are getting better  Frankly saying, some documents are never opened again once it’s finished?  We do not work exactly according the Gantt chart  We need to keep up with the schedule  Some risk is not properly mitigated and occurs. Eg. Schedule slip  Minor conflicts on SVN lost updates

Meeting the Lifecycle Architecture milestone? 1. Since most of the baseline architecture for web application is quite determined by the framework solution, we have a easier life.  Main use cases are tested.  Selection and verification? 2. Risk is identified and mitigation strategy is determined 3. Requirement is quite stable 4. Bye Bye Elaboration phase!

Construction iteration 1 Gantt Chart

Plan for Construction iteration 1(April 12)  Refine documentation accordingly  Refine analysis and design diagrams  Describing the remaining use cases and fill in design  Implement the rest of the use cases  Some extreme programming practices may be applied eg. Continuous integration  Integration test and functional test  Hopefully, we plan to release the beta version by next iteration  Get customer feedback  Prepare the beta deployment  Contact the IT-serv
