Some questions for my client to answer that will aid in my evaluation
- Looking back at the project, what was your initial reaction of the ideas presented at you and how has it changed now?
- Did the final product turn out the way you expected?
- Do you think the product satisfied your goal in attracting more potential users and increasing exposure to the site?
- Did you find the system easy to use and navigate?
- What feature did you like most from the new system? Why do you like it?
- What was bad about the system?
- If we could redo the project over again, what would you change?
- Are there any parts of the system you think we can improve on?
- Were you satisfied with the final product?
- Did you think communication with the designer (ie me) was successful? Why?
- How would you rate the project as a whole (including research, design, implementation etc) on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest.
Last night was quite exciting, quite alot of good responses on the new site design. In particular the new features such as tags and voting. Will check on Google Analytics near the end and use it as part of my report. But for now, it’s all about finishing up this massive report. I literally have over 10 pages of just PURE text to type up haha. It’s not going to be fun at all. But I have until Thursday to do it, though I plan on getting it all printed off on Wednesday and binded to avoid the inevitable rush on Thursday where people’s instincts turn a little bit animal in terms of getting stuff done.
Ah well, back to work I guess
Agenda
- Report feedback, general feedback on whats good, whats not etc
- Report markings recommendation; how should I weigh the project
- Quick Product Demonstration (feedback on it etc)
- Arrange a time for a proper full on demonstration (hopefully with second marker)
Action/Targets:
- Do the report!!
- Include summaries for each section
- Focus on writing report rather then site making (maybe sort the migration and opening of site)
- Include use of blog for logging actions and targets etc
Next Meeting:
- Another impromptu meeting with supervisor after report :p
Seems like my prototype site is almost ready for launch. Quite alot of new features have been implemented including:
- Better integration with social networking sites (includes Digg it/Delicious/Reddit buttons, and more profile pages)
- Pagination for news and podcast articles
- Fixing and including some new sideboxes (including Top Songs/Top Tags/Current Show)
- Voting on podcasts
- Allow images on news items, integrated onto articles more nicely
- Loads of fixes on site, including the comments section
The report is doing strangely well. I’m at about 57 pages and 14,000 odd words. Still got evaluation and conclusion to do. Hopefully that will mainly be content only as well as reflections to the site.
Need to review with Supervisors as well as book a time to demonstrate site. I will hopefully get the site migrating and working live before demonstration.
Pretty much completed both sections now.
The Analysis section includes the following:
- Data Flow Diagram
- Customer Journeys
- Web Report Anaylsis
- Online Surveys
- Requirements Catalogue
Whilst the Design includes the following:
- Hardware software used
- Logical Data Structure
- Storyboarding
- Wireframes
I might be keep my design section a bit low but I might need to check on whether thats appropriate. Implementation is where its at as I have developed quite alot of features for the website and have alot to write about for it.
