Why are we doing this? #16

Closed McSinyx closed 3 years ago

McSinyx commented 3 years ago

No, not in the sense of cuz 3 credits are 3 credits, but rather why we'd get 3 credits from doing this. Or, even, what are we doing exactly? There are plenty of libre and well-tested project management systems in the wild, and I suppose there's at least one or two that support the grading use case. Or is there? We need to find out for the problem statement.

Huy-Ngo commented 3 years ago

There isn't actually much to do in this project, or so I was told. Do you mean, what novel features we can add to this system? We can't know that without taking looks at other projects (well we were supposed to do this 2 weeks ago). Do you have some examples of previously done projects so we all can discuss on which features can be added?

McSinyx commented 3 years ago

No, hence the questions (they were phrased in a way that answers can be used for report's introduction/problem statement, not exactly honest questions to be fair). paraphrase('school', 'project management software') isn't the best query ever, and the meta article on Wikipedia doesn't give insight about the grading thing. I suppose that software like what we are building is obsolete enough, but don't really have proof for it.

Here are the sections that should be there in the report:

Introduction
Objective
Expected outcome
Requirements
Architecture
System solution
...

Huy-Ngo commented 3 years ago

Per offline discussion last Friday, we have (at least) 3 objectives:

To facilitate collaboration between members as well as supervision
To store the database of past school project
To digitize evaluation and academic reports, which make things easier for academic assistants and supervisors. Supposedly students would gain from receiving their results earlier.

I believe most other project management software just fulfill the first two requirements, but not the third one.
