CP3405 Assessment Task 1 Pilot Study Submission Template Document your pilot study using this template (no more than 6 pages long please including team charter) Project Title: CoTrace Group Name/Number: 10 Date: 6 August 2020 Group Member Role (s) Joey Setiawan Scrum Master Qi Yu Keith Ong Product Owner Vishal Manghnani Developer Nathas Chaisrakeo Developer Jianwei Huang Developer Mengying Chen DeveloperSection 1 Describe the project challenge (the problem you are trying to solve). Use 1-2 sentences: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has hit hard, exposing the lack of global and local preparedness for pandemics. COVID-19 infections and deaths have far surpassed those of SARS and MERS combined, and one of the biggest issues scientists now face is how to accurately predict the next disease hotspots. Explain where the project idea came from (e.g. previous work in CP2408, other coursework or the default challenge). Use 1-2 sentences: Project idea originated from our Design Sprint conducted in CP2408. Describe the solution you have adopted and plan to pilot. Use 3-4 sentences. Create an Android native mobile application so that mobile phones can access the statistics and help build the information needed for scientists. We will be collecting data via different channels such as bluetooth, QR scanner or survey forms, giving users a variety of options to choose from. Analyse the pros/cons of the proposed solution. 3 Advantages 3 Disadvantages Almost every individual has a mobile phone, will make it easily implemented People using the app must have the basic knowledge on how to use a mobile phone. (e.g. some elderlies will have problem with using a phone) Over 75% android device users, able to target a way larger market compared to iOS. Google and Apple have also been working on a solution for their technology of bluetooth low energy to be compatible cross platform, allowing us to have the most cost effectiveness access to all user base. Our proposed solution is built on an Android which results in iOS users not getting access to this application. Allows the users with the option to volunteer themselves for data collection without us infringing on their privacy. Its is hard to get people to download a new App and use it dailySection 2: What are the main technical challenges identified in your pilot study? (no more than two aspects, one sentence each). 1) Understanding what technology or technical stack needed to design and build the solution 2) With a wide range of options it is hard to find which one is suitable for our solution. Describe how you will use the Agile methodology and the mini-sprints to tackle these challenges: 2 sentences 1) We will break the work up into different parts and assign them a difficulty level and total time needed to implement the system. 2) We will use the Agile methodology to develop one part per week. Describe the roles that you will need in the team to deliver the project as planned: (one sentence each) 1. Leader to guide the project 2. Backend programmer to implement the functionalities 3. Frontend programmer to design and implement the user interface 4. DevOps to handle the server, DB, and API gateway 5. Researcher to find all the necessary information for the project 6. Notetaker to keep records, tasks during each meeting Update your team charter as necessary and submit it as an annex to this documentSection 3 Summarise the weekly activities conducted by your team during the pilot study. Keywords only. Week # Main Activities 3 Finalizing on the topic we are going to do 4 Discuss and explore what are some of the parts we can add and improve 5 - How did the activities improve your working efficiency? Activity Benefit Finalizing on the topic we are going to do Having a clear idea on what we are going to do for this project Discuss and explore what are some of the parts we can add and improve Recap and update on the work that have been done before so that we can work on it smoothly Summarise your end of week (retrospective) meetings: Week # Meeting summary/outcome (2 sentences) 3 Selected topic that we are going to do 4 Listed what are the more important functions that we are going to implement. 5 - The team maintains task plans for each week – task details and team member assignment.
