Week # Date Meeting Minutes Selected Ideas Plan for next week
1 Sunday Dec 5, 2021
  • Looked at the Project Overview
  • Planned for working on the Taxi app idea (will last multiple weeks)
Example Research existing Taxi app related issues and imagine how people online would work through those issues.
2 Sunday Dec 12, 2021
  • Analysis For review: Joy | Mark
  • Reviewed Taxi App Business mockup home page
  • Issues/Questions raised:
    • Nuno: The difference between Objectives and Tasks is not completely clear and may confuse people
      • (1) Guides explaining the different concepts used on the website. Also see here
    • Alex: How would interface work when the business is just being initiated?
  • Group voted for using a forum as opposed to an email list for discussions (new sub-reddit)
Example Continue simulation of Taxi app (go through Ideas, Issues, Tasks)
3 Sunday Dec 19, 2021
  • Analysis for review: Joy | Mark
  • Reviewed Taxi App Business mockup home page again
  • Discussed Issue resolution with team and got feedback; creating software spec
- Analyze other websites to see how they resolve issues
4 Dec 26, 2021
  • Analysis For review: Joy | Mark
  • Decision to continue analyzing Issue handling on other websites (focusing on resolution, answers, responses from people etc and how the best responses are chosen). Thats what we'll do next week.
Example Start looking at individual Issue pages and taking a close look at what happens there from Issue reporting to resolution and task creation. Focus on resolving a single issue and look closely at what activity takes place. We look at Issue creation, definition, sub-issues (if any), a 'Resolution Wiki' and how Tasks are defined and linked
5 Jan 2, 2022 - Next week we'll focus on resolving a single issue and look closely at what activity takes place. We look at Issue creation, definition, sub-issues (if any), a 'Resolution Wiki' and how Tasks are defined and linked
6 Jan 9, 2022 - (break for next few weeks)
7 Jan 30, 2022 Looked at work from Jan 9.
  • (Joy): Issues Kanban Board (vertical columns for In-Work, Resolved, etc Example), Color coding for various items. (later) custom work flows. Business rules (zoho) || Continue looking at issue details, focusing on new features. Resolving issues, solutions (wiki, collaborative type of work, multiple users involved)
8 Feb 6, 2022
  • Analysis For review: Joy
  • Trying a new approach from today, the team will be directly editing the Visual designs in Google docs and we'll meet to review suggested changes. First design is the main page: Taxi App Home page. Ideas previously submitted can be used if needed.
  • Joy: (1) When submitting an issue or idea, search existing entries and let user know e.g. "These previously submitted issues may be related to your issue." (2) 'Save as draft' for all website items that can be submitted || -
