ALL pages and links will be checked and guaranteed to be working.

Testing usability of the site Four users, representing varied experience, will test the navigation capability of the website. Each user will be given navigation instructions and then a brief survey to comment on their experience. Team Go will modify design based on user response.

Wolf/Thieves Statements Wolf pack included Syed, Sven and Anna. Thieves included Joe and Syed. Members read the document and provided in red type their comments and why. The comments were analyzed and discussion were held online and in person. Editor: Anna, corrected all grammar, spelling errors. Ensured all states made sense and were consistent with group discussions.

The Wolf’s Work The document did not indicate any standards for the aesthetic design of the website. Team Go could simply provide text links one after another without proper instructions. The document now includes a User Acceptance section, which states that drawings must be submitted by a deadline or else Team Go will use its discretion.

The Thief’s Work The original document stated we were to create a few users some of which were free, premium, administrator. Were there other users?….The client wanted more! The document now reads “…three user types will be created. They are the basic user, the premium user, the administrative user…”

Re-Planning The Chief Planner had the responsibility of assigning due dates for tasks in such a way that emergency situations could cause an adjustment to the plan without affecting the major milestones. We also agreed on regular communication through , telephone and other mediums about the status of the task to be completed. The use of our planning software gave the planner the ability to evaluate changes to the plan quickly when the due date of one of the task changed. In the event that a task could not be completed the strategy to be followed included: Team members are/were responsible for the specific task agreed to notify Planner and Project Manager about the current task delay as soon as possible. Team members are/were responsible for the specific task agreed to notify Planner and Project Manager about the current task delay as soon as possible. Other individual in the group were asked and made themselves available to assist in getting the task done with the least delay as possible. Other individual in the group were asked and made themselves available to assist in getting the task done with the least delay as possible. Good News: Based on the slack of time that was initially given to most tasks, the final due date of the project was not changed.
