Our group’s learning and group work strategy are by distributing an equal amount of job description to each member and asking each other for feedback on our works. To complete my task, I first need some resources regarding the topic we are discussing. Therefore, I did some research on the news to comprehend the material. As my task was to do the stakeholder analysis, I found it quite challenging to describe some of the stakeholders suggested by another member. To solve it, I asked another team member to help me out and do it with me. By doing my part this week, I have made quite progress in this assignment (which is listing around 12 stakeholders). As a result, the second section of the project, the stakeholder analysis, is wholly done and elaborated as instructed.

One challenge found during the third week is that misunderstanding the specification makes me waste my time doing it as I have given my best in describing each stakeholder. Everyone misunderstands the requirement; therefore, I learned that I should have asked the teacher instead for any ambiguous specification. Fortunately, we can still get a chance to consult about the assignment, and we can fix the stakeholder analysis section before it is graded. Next, I learned is that by gathering surveys and interviews from a wide range of people, I can get new insights and think from many perspectives. Thankfully I have no struggle in doing this task.

Although it seems impossible to find 35 requirements, I learned that every member needs to contribute as everyone has different perspectives and ideas. I think there are no specific strategies to finish this assignment other than working together. The struggles I experienced were fulfilling the functional and non-functional requirements as specified because it seemed too much at first. Fortunately, everyone participated, and we managed to pass the target and even more than we were told. I also learned how to make a use case diagram as well as its description based on other things outside UTS by observing my teammate’s work. Seeing and listening to the feedback for their work makes me obtain additional yet essential knowledge that I know will be beneficial for me in the future.

The group work strategy used during the second week is arranging a meeting on discord and discussing the assignment and each member’s job description. According to another team member who informed me of my job description, I needed to make an activity diagram and sequence diagram for the second week as I could not attend the meeting. I did the two diagrams and finished them. It is pretty challenging to make the sequence diagram as I am afraid that I might make a mistake and misunderstand the actual purpose of the diagram. After going through the lecture slides again, I finally managed to make a sequence diagram. While for the activity diagram, I did not find any trouble making it as I made an activity diagram before in the tutorial and got direct feedback about it.

There are no group work strategies during the third week. I learnt about the prototyping methodology deeper and how to make an interface used as a tool in this methodology. I found several challenges when doing this section of the assignment, especially when demonstrating the tool. I have no idea how to visualise it as there are too many references on the internet. Moreover, I was confused with the meaning of “assignment system” stated in the assignment specification. I decided to follow how my fellow group member did on their methodology tool. Another challenging experience I got when doing this assignment was finding the information about this prototyping methodology because the information I found in most sources is not relatable to the project. I managed to find three sources containing information suitable for the task after spending hours searching.
