Update End of Week 6

What we accomplished this week was getting a second interview with Courtney (SDOF project director) . We also rescheduled our meeting to Friday and did more work modeling, refined the flow model in particular and hashed out a culture model.

As for personal accomplishment, I haven't really done anything individually that wasn't a group effort. Unless driving everyone down to Mission Bay is considered an accomplishment?

I thought something that really held us back this far was because we do not have sufficient data and we had to becareful not to start our work without this crucial data. After our interview Saturday, I think we got another chunk of data that will be very useful. We have also obtained a number of artifacts that we could present as data as well as a very very very very very rough mockup of something Courtney drew on the fly. Something kind of simple, but still it encompasses something that can be used in the direction of our project.

For next week, we have scheduled more interviews. This time, with the divers/volunteers and can narrow down onto specific data more pertinent to the scope of our focus. So as soon as this week is over, we should finally be able to start prototyping by the weekend and maybe we'll set up an extra meeting this weekend as well.

I think things have finally gotten the kick-start-ignition and hopefully we don't run into any potholes or speed bumps of the like. The outlook is optimistic... for me at least.
