From: "participant4" To: Subject: Re: Please summarise the last meeting Date: 15 December 2004 11:31 For the documentation of the design project, you and all of your colleages are asked to fill out a short questionnaire after e [ABSTRACT] Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role's perspective. Meeting was interesting as an introduction. It is now easy to remember everybody as I remember their favourite animals but I do not remember their names. Goal was well specified and target of 50M euro was specified. It was good that we had an opportunity to express our ideas in the meeting. [DECISIONS] Name all decisions that were made during the meeting. Mark those decisions that you consider of high importance for your role with a *. Write fragmented notes. Functionality was discussed* Physical features were also discussed. [PROBLEMS/ISSUES] Name the problems or difficulties that occurred during the meeting. Mark those that you consider of high importance for your role with a *. Write fragmented notes. Insufficient time for everybody to give an idea so best idea up until end of meeting was probably idea everyone went away with. [ACTIONS] Name the next steps that each member will take until the next meeting. Write fragmented notes. Project leader should probably take a look at all of the ideas that were expressed and some how way up the pros and cons of each one... especially with the number of units we would like to sell and the budget that we have. Marketing expert will have to actually decide what people want and if it is feasible to give the people what they want. What audience will be targetted and expected return from target audience. Interface designer will have to wait until the requirements are in before he can really design the interface. However, some features are common to all remote controls. He can begin designing those features or deciding whether the remote will be so radical that even the most basic features are done away with. Industrial engineer will have to consider which materials are available at the given price. Also, engineer will have to wait for requirements as the use of the remote will determine which material. For example, a nice soft material may be great for attracting a certain audience, but if the remote is to be used for long periods of time, daily, then the soft material may simply wear away quicker. A more sturdy remote would be more appropriate. However, if the remote is to be used as conventional remotes are used, then the sturdyness is nnecessary. Please note that I have never come across a soft remote but was just using it as an example.
