Description

Six weeks left..

Hi there! It’s amazing how quickly the time is passing by.. We are already approaching the end of the project, which doesn’t feel very realistic to be honest. Last Monday, we did the sprint planning of sprint 5. Below, you can see the user stories that we came up with:

User stories sprint 5

User stories sprint 5

It seemed a good idea to me to enhance a bit more on these separate user stories.

User Story #1

Our first user story is about the three different use cases. By using these use cases, we want to explain the use of our interactive dashboard to others. Our designers Nikki and Michelle started doing this on that same day, and came up with three different use cases that would become the basis of the main navigation of our tool. The first use case is arranging a digital workspace, the second one is collecting and organizing information and the last one is to write and publish an article.

User Story #2

The second user story was about the adapting of the existing wireframes, based on the user cases. Like this, we could easily start designing the final design of our dashboard. Adapting the wireframes would be done here according to the previous user story, the use case.

User Story #3

For the third user story, we want to create a design document which we can build upon. This design manual can be seen as a brand manual where guidelines are being written down. This will help us designing the final version of our tool.

User Story #4

User Story 4 is about the first design of the interactive dashboard. In this sprint, that’s the sprint before the last one, we want our dashboard to have a great design.

User Story #5

The fifth user story is about translating the design of our prototype to a first version of HTML. Like this, we can translate our design into a clickable prototype. In this sprint and in the next sprint, we want to see to what extend we can translate our design into a programmed prototype.

User Story #6

In User Story 6, we want to come up with more modules. In these modules, our programmer Javier tries to work out as many innovative techniques as possible, what would e.g. help extend the lifespan of an article. We selected 15 different modules and we will work out a selection of them.

User Story #7

User Story 7 was about the scientific paper, but we decided, considering the time, not to do it and spend our time to the previous user stories.

This sprint lasts a few days shorter due to the ascension day, but at the end of the sprint we’ll write another blogpost about the progress.
