Review of ADD, working on SVVP and on the presentation

Hi!

Last week we only had one lecture, in which the ADD was reviewed. To the reviewer it was the worst document ever (as always). The truth is that we don't have to make too many changes, although they are big ones.

We are also working on the testing document (SVVP) and in the final presentation. The testing document is for Tuesday and the presentation for Monday. We will have a busy week with: presentation, delivery of the first version of the SVVP and delivery of the second version of the ADD, plus the review of the DDD.

The list of "to do" activities is going shorter an shorter, so...
Hold on there, baby!

The first "brush"

Hi all. As everybody know, yesterday the first brush appeared between two members of this project. I have to say first of all that it is completely solved, "there is no crisis" as politicians say.

In addition to this, I have to say that I find normal these brushes because this project requires a lot of time to work on it. We are working with too much pressure and we are working as a group, we have two meetings per week. So, the environment is not the better. I talked with members of other groups and they don't have meeting, in fact she told me they did only A metting at the beginning of the project. My question is .... is this a group?? Or they are splitting the work and doing it separately?? Because the most I have learnt with this project is to work in group.

I am glad of Blue Team, because each of us has a role in this group. This role is not the Project Manager, Tester .... for example, Ezequiel makes the meeting too much funny, with his jokes and his laugh (Remeber: "Ey chicos pasarme la ESA"). Lucas is the supplier of this group, he brings cupcakes, breads, oranges, bananas .... and so on. Fran is always ready to do things, moreover Fran and Alvaro are always pestering Ezequiel so it is funny. Apart from that, Alvaro brings some lights when the rest does not see the solution.

Again, I am very pride of the work done in this project because other groups follow the ESA standard, while we adapt it. We read the standard and we think if the section is applicable for the project.

For all I have said, and for a lot of things I have not written:

THANK YOU GUYS !!!

Reaching the final steps

Hi everybody,
this is your project manager. This post is only to inform you that the development of the project goes quite well, despite the fact that we have had to face some ugly problems. Fortunately, we were able to overtake disadvantages with our hard work.

Apart from that, may I remind you that this group is based on communication through the members and that any issue or complaint can be exposed freely, when correctly and politely expressed. Because of that, I enforce you to not keeping anything to the insides because it is not desirable and supposes a flaw in the team.

Finally, just emphasizing that I am quite glad with the work and performance of the team, which I have never seen before in previous projects that implied such an amount of people.

Yours, sincerely
Álvaro

Quite a busy week...

but we're gonna make it!!!

Yes, today we worked on the ADD and the DDD. We did, and we did it separating in groups and working quite efficiently (which is not always the case, lol).
Plus we reviewed the SRD, so we can turn in a new version
Plus we started the BPR3, because we are such a great team, that we can do work overhead!

Anyways, although it has been quite a hard week, we are doing a great job!!
Keep up the good work Blue Team!!

PS: By the way, we talked already about the super-mega End-of-project party... The Project Manager is going to pay the beer!

Second Bi-Weekly Progress Report

Hi guys! How is it going? I'm writing just to remind you that next week we have the second BPR delivery, and it would be fine to have it done right before the weekend, because I don't work properly under pressure... Therefore, I consider that It would be nice to keep on the same sections that we did in the previous BPR, because we already know how to fill them...

Would it be possible to arrange a meeting on friday morning in order to join all our parts? Leave your opinions below...

Hugs

A new use to Twitter!

Hi everybody!
Today is Election Day at the US. This means the new president is being elected in this moment. This is quite an historical moment, because the new "boss" of the world is being voted, that hopefully (I doubt it), will save us from the crisis (lol).
All this to say that I found a new use to Twitter
