Cultural Differences

• Difference between working hours and break time

• Difference between sleeping habits

• Difference in education system among all of us

• Due to different schedule of every person, there is difficult to arrange meetings and communicating with each other.

Experiences Part 1

• Working in Distributed environment• Learning new technologies • Seeing how useful (and important) is to respect

other member's ideas and to try to see things from their angle of view; other people always have lots of good ideas

• Good experience to work in multicultural environment

Experiences Part 2

• More work gets done when having a tight deadline than when having too much time; but, deadlines too tight are also counter-productive as we had to use shortcuts then

• When there is a tough problem, it often doesn't help to bring more people to the job; sometimes only a new, fresh approach helps

• It's generally best to test for bugs immediately after code is written than to postpone it, as this is basically leaving it to other members

Future Changes

• Implement PDA version

• Synchronization via Infrared

• Some changes to the code to achieve greater stability

• Skin feature

• Additional components

23-04-19 1123-04-19 11

Integration

• Worked well

• Well defined interface for the components

• Easy to integrate new components

23-04-19 1223-04-19 12

Testing

• Not enough time for unit testing

• Components were tested individually during development

23-04-19 1323-04-19 13

Problems and Challenges

• Problems with WinCVS until the end of course

• During the implementation some components got behind schedule due to unbalanced programming skills

• PDA version was not implemented due to unbalance in programming skills and time schedule

If we did this again…

• The project leader should not be involved that much in the implementation

• Integration should be done earlier

• Better repository system
