Donna Louise - Stuff to Get Done

Donna-Louise

What we need to have done in order to get the app/website off the ground. 

1. Concept of app/website: 

Decide what we need on the app/website. What is the most important information the public will need. Decide how we will communicate the alerts with deaf, blind, and other people with disabilities. Maybe have a personalised feature where a person can enter whether they have a physical disability so they may get alerts sooner than those who do not have physical abilities so they can get home faster/away from the disaster sooner?

2.Personalise features to the customer:

As above, people with disabilities. Also, personalise the information to the location of the person using the app. For example, alerts for those in Argentina would be different to those in Japan.

3.Research:

Research similar emergency alert apps. Find the pros and cons of these already existing websites. Find our own niche from looking through these other existing apps/websites. 

4.Discuss and brainstorm functionality:

Make a list of features and example content that can be included in the app. Perhaps an example list of content. Design a prototype version of what the app will look like and how the features will look.

5.Prototype testing:

This is probably going to be the longest part of the project. This will involve creating a prototype and presenting it to wide range of people. This may need to be done 2 to 3 times depending on feedback.

6.Report:

As we go through the project we will have to keep notes and things in order to reflect on the progress and testing throughout our project in order to create a cohesive report at the end of the project. 

7.Timetable:

Create a cohesive timetable so that we can all give updates on what parts of the project we have done. One person can be in charge of the timetable and with the help of the team the proper updates can be given for the project in a timely manner.

8. Blog: 

Throughout the project we will work as a team to update the blog with all the developments we make toward the project. Every team member will need to participate on this in order to have a cohesive project at the end of this assignment. 

9. Meetings:

Organise meetings, on a weekly basis, in order to catch up on everyone's progress.

Note: Due to COVID-19, we will need to do this via video chat, with someone keeping track of what was discussed via notes(minutes) or through our group chat on messenger, with someone screenshotting messages as proof of what was discussed so that these can be used as the minutes of the meeting.

10. Other Objectives: 

Throughout this process, I imagine there will be other objectives and things we need to have done that we haven't come up with yet. 

11. Final Solution:

Come up with, prep and present final solution to the client.
