Self evaluation

In our project we have used CI and PD methods. The interview was conducted using Contextual Inquiry methods. During the interview we conducted the contextual observation and tried our best to pay attention to all the details and ask many “why” questions. We allowed our clients to guide us and teach us her work. We took into consideration all the opinions and suggestions of our customer. I think that the recording of the interview was very effective. It allowed us to easily remember what the customer said. I think some things could have slipped away if we hadn’t recorded the interview. Also while doing the transcription I’ve noticed that there were more questions that we could have asked. The interview really required all our attention and focus. During the analysis of the data we used affinity diagram, work models and personas. Personally, I really liked the experience with affinity diagram. Designing a prototype was quite easy as the requirements were clear after the analysis.

It would have been nice if we had more contact with the customer and if the customer had a need for our application. I also think that our customer was a bit nervous because of the fact that she had to speak English. We could have included the user in the design of the prototype but we ended up designing a prototype that was fully accepted and liked by the customer.

I believe I did the best I could for this project. I have followed the directions and did everything on time. I had the motivation and I have eagerly engaged in all the tasks. I really enjoyed team work with Monika and Pawel. Both of them were initiative and eager to work. We worked on most of the tasks together. The division included mostly putting our work from paper into electronic format. Based on the above, I would suggest myself 5 and for my team mates 5’s as well.
