Team D had another 1 hr. meeting tonight to discuss our PA2 design. I made some more updates to the UML class diagram and Brad is making updates to my "PA2 Bucket Class Interactions.docx" to prevent a loop of confusion. With 3.5 hours of team meeting and 4 hours of UML and method call descriptions, I spent 7.5 hours on the first part of PA2.
The team will keep in contact tomorrow in case there's anymore questions, but we're ready for the implementation phase.
I can tell already that having one team design something and another one implement it is very challenging. I had a difficult time understanding our design and our team discussion typically lead to confusing everyone. I have doubts that another team will fully understand what we want them to do, but we'll see what happens. In my day job, I work with electrical engineers in China, Tiawan, and Mexico and I constantly run into issues. I can provide diagrams, work instuctions, you name it.. and it usually takes a lot of time to get even simple tasks on track.
Time to jump on my SE591 iPhone app.
