This is one of the projects that I have actually taken part in and to be sincere,  I love what I do and always eager to learn.

SEMESTER ONE

 
Activities for the month of October

Met with colleagues to identify a problem in our date-to-day life and later decided on the project we should work on. We proposed a roll call management system which was bounced by the project co-ordinator. One of our members brought out the issues of the parliament with there decision making ways.

Then proposed a system that would provide a platform for communication between the parliament and the general public. It is to enable individual from the public and are having mobile android phone v2.2 and above, and have our application installed on their phones, put out their opinions on parliamentary proceedings

Activities for the month of November

Met our supervisor on different occasions to help us rectify the errors in our proposals, during these sessions, he advised us to to make corrections to our main objective. And break the main objective into the specific objectives inform of the SDLC, i.e. to investigate and analyse, to develop and implement, to maintain etc.

We were also advised to change the name of the project, the initial name "opinion poll" didn't reflect what the system did so we chose "mobile_MP"

we chose mobile_MP because with this system, the participants will influence decisions made in parliament.

Towards the end of the month we had to go to the field and gather the requirements, these are statements in the natural language that describe what the system should do.
parliament and general public being our target for the system we interviewed some members of parliament and a few people from the general public.

Concurrently we were working on the requirements specification document.

• Still editing our requirements document
• Both the proposal and requirements have been submitted for approval
