Engine Power Loss

In the last meeting, the team agreed to further design/develop 2 apps (QUT Connect-A and Moments), but there still seems to be a lot of work to be done especially on Moments app which was Ata's idea. It doesnt seem to have the required structure that summarises what the app is and this became more apparent from Erez's mail to all of us.

Ata wanted the team to meet in order to help solve this problem but its been difficult getting every one to meet. There are atleast 2 team members still nursing their hang overs from the Toga party on thursday. I suggested Ata try to put some structure to the app on his own for now to enable us have an easier starting point if and when we meet on Monday.

With regards to the Design thinking theory approach, one thing we havent largely done with our ideas and is a common mistake with design is to test the ideas with potential customers or "painstorm" according to Furr & Dyer (2014) in the innovators method. This will help us identify potential flaws in design or other processes  that frustrate users when using similar/competing apps.

On a final note, i think that we would be more effective when we start assigning tasks and deadlines for those tasks, This would make me and everyone else in the team accountable and responsible. We need to keep the energy up as i fear its begining to wane.
