Iteration Goals

WHAT
We want to develop an app that can review. This app will include features such as menu translations, a review section for each restaurant.

WHO
The application will focus on English speaking tourists coming to China. These tourists are unable to speak Chinese and require the application to help them find nearby restaurants will simple Chinese to English translations and comprehensive reviews.

WHY
Better food experience for tourists in China. We want to help the user choose food that suits their taste. Our app allows the user to chose a restaurant based on reviews to ensure the quality of a product.

WHERE
Our main focus will be in China with menu translations in English.

WHEN
The apps main purpose is to be used when the user is in search of high-quality food near their current location. The app will be most popular during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

HOW
By having a database of restaurants and there locations and details. These locations will need reviews and translations.

Team Roles

  • Gabe: Team Manager
  • Frank: System Architect
  • Hannah: Quality Control and Testing
  • Belinda: Business Manager
  • Aaron: Programmer
  • Ahmed: Marketing Manager

Task Management

  1. Hannah and Ahmed do super neat sketches of the UI with the main focus on the review/comment section. The UI sketches should mainly involve the visuals and flow of the pages. To do this, draw these sketches and have arrows with descriptions and notes. These will help Aaron a lot when it comes to designing these pages in Android Studio. Pages to be completed by Friday: Sign in (log in) page, a home screen (with all the restaurants), restaurant screen with info and review/comments, and the profile page. Filters, settings and other features to be completed later.
  2. Aaron to work on the login page with the ability to sign in or register an account. This will then go to the restaurant screen to be completed in collaboration with Hannah and Ahmed.
  3. Need to take pictures from restaurants when we go out to lunch. The plan is as follows. We will present 10 restaurants on Friday. The 10 restaurants will be the restaurants that Hannah has research because they already have photos on Airbnb and TripAdvisor and we have locations for them (that way we can test images and GPS locations in the app). The only thing is that they lack a menu. After lunch we will take photos of 3 restaurant menus each we will choose the 10 best looking and easiest to translate and randomly put them with one of the researched restaurants. Aaron, Belinda, and Hannah will then work on these translations whilst Ahmed me and Frank work on the app and the wiki.
  4. Ahmed needs to complete and table of reviews and comments and what they should look like in the app. Have at least 3 reviews per restaurant and at least 2 comments per restaurant. These can be random but will need to follow the structure that was made in MySQL (Ahmed come ask me after and I will clarify).
  5. Belinda needs to make a tight schedule for the next two weeks so for the next 30min we need to discuss what needs to be done and this schedule should just include goals and to-dos nothing too in-depth just enough to track our progress.
  6. Change of seating arrangement Ahmed -> Hannah -> Belinda -> Gabe -> Aaron -> Frank for better discussion and work flow.
  7. Gabe and Belinda will work on the Team aspect of the wiki, Ahmed and Hannah will work on the Software requirements specification, Gabe and Aaron will work on the code as well as Frank, but Frank also needs to finish where he left off and see if we can get MySQL to work with Java.
  8. 10 restaurants will consist of official, unofficial and credited.
  9. Frank needs to get a start on the Software design specification.
  10. Project demo: have screenshots of the application, the pages, the logo.
