Group

This week, the group focused on aligning on our MVP and clearly defining the goals and requirements we need to achieve. Additionally, we began shifting our focus to the technical presentation and report, and divided the work among team members accordingly.

Miffy:

This week, I worked on three main tasks to support our project. First, I helped with preparing the project presentation by discussing the structure and making sure our problem statement and system idea were clearly explained. Second, I designed the frontend layout of our software using Canvas. I focused on identifying the key pages for our MVP, such as the login page, dashboard, vineyard map, and alerts, and how users would navigate between them. Finally, I wrote user stories for our app to describe how users would interact with the system and what core features are needed. This helped the team better define the scope and goals of our MVP.

Inès:

This week, I helped finalize the presentation and wrote the accompanying script. Sanjana and I also revisited the abstract, updating it to incorporate our group’s new ideas as well as feedback and recommendations from professors and TAs. In parallel, I’ve been working on identifying the most suitable hardware for the project, creating a purchasing document for the required components, and starting to develop system-level diagrams that show how the different components will communicate with each other.

Sanjana:

This week I presented my group’s project for the project proposal presentations. Ines and I primarily worked on the presentation and split up the slides and script, and once the slides were complete, I worked on finalizing and refining the script to present. I spent a lot of time trying to bring together all the things my group has been discussing over the last couple weeks, into one comprehensive presentation. I also worked on my presentational skills, practicing the presentation several times to ensure that I was conveying our material in an engaging and straightforward manner. Once the presentation was complete, our group started looking forward to our work for the next couple of weeks up until the design presentation. We decided on some preliminary steps, and I focused on trying to find more people to reach out to for market research as well as refining the questions we wanted to ask them.
