Initial Plan Notes For my initial plan I decided to split my task into sections, this allowed me to think about what each section involved before I started to allocate how long each task would take. I used 6 subheadings to split my time up these were: 1. Analysis 2. Initial Design 3. Prototyping and Formative Testing 4. Summative testing 5. Documentation 6. Hand Over In each of these sections I thought about all of the things which the task would involve and allocated an appropriate amount of time to each. I have allocated a total of 15.25 days to my first section analysis; this includes having initial meetings with my client and gathering all relevant information about the project. This will enable me to come up with some initial designs. My second section is initial designs I have allocated a total of 4 days for this section. This section uses the information which I have gathered from my client to create and receive feedback about the initial designs. The third section which I have created is prototyping and formative testing; I have allowed a total of 73 days for this section to be completed. In this section the whole of the flash application needs to be completed. I have left 5 days for each of my scenes and then an extra day or two for each of them depending on how complicated the features which I have included in the scene are. I have also left a total of 14 days contingency so that if anyone on the project falls ill or we have a problem with the computers the project will not fall behind. I have included the formative testing of each of the scenes into the 5 day allowance for each of the scenes. Doing this will allow me to test that all of my buttons are working and all of the features that I have included in my application work. The next section which I have created is summative testing, I have allowed a total of 10 days for this section, and in this section I will create a test plan and insure that all of the features and buttons are working in my application. The fifth section which I have created is called documentation, I have allowed 6 days for this section, and this section will include a getting started with instructions and an auto run CD. This CD will then be sent to my client. My final section is the Hand Over of the application to my client. I have allowed a total of 2.25 days I have allowed this time so that my client and I can find a suitable time for me to hand over the project and gather any final feedback about the project
over all. I will also have to conduct an end of project review meeting which will be held at the end of the hand over to my client.
