Evaluation


This project has been both successful and unsuccessful. We have all done what has been set and expected of us by our project manager, but the roles we have been set are not great. The only roles we have been set have not been to do with the actual making of the project, but with helping him do it. The project was only to make a prototype.

Also, there has been an overall lack of communication between members of the project. When one of us has been ill, the others have no connection, so will not work in sync. We are under the impression that the project was flawed as not enough jobs to go around. So the project consisted of a lot of waiting around for various hosting sites, and doing initial research. This is because we realised early on the time constraints are too strict for us to complete the project. So we went for a rough prototype. However, this was also impossible as the hosting sites we tried kept falling through and that other matters such as A-Level exams took priority. This means the task force was ineffective, and so the project could not be done to the best.

However, all criteria have been thought through and theoretically completed. We have a rough mock of this system
