are we we are not allowed to dim the lights so people can see that a bit better yeah okay that is fine am i supposed to be standing up there so we have got both of these clipped on okay she going to answer me or not yeah i have got right both of them okay yes god jesus it is going to fall off okay yep yep okay okay tu tu tu tu hello everybody hi good morning i am sarah the project manager and this is our 1st meeting surprisingly enough okay this is our agenda we will do some stuff get to know each other a bit better to feel more comfortable with each other then we will go do tool training talk about the project plan discuss our own ideas and everything and we have got 25 minutes to do that as far as i can understand now we are developing a remote control which you probably already know we want it to be original something that is people have not thought of that is not out in the shops trendy appealing to a wide market but you know not a hunk of metal and user friendly grannies to kids maybe even pooches should be able to use it okay 1st is the functional design this is where we all go off and do our individual work what needs need to be fulfilled by the product what effects the product has to have and how it is actually going to do that conceptual design what we are thinking how it is going to go and then the detailed design how we are actually going to put it into practice and make it work kay okay right we are going to practice with the pens and draw our favorite animal on the white board i will go 1st and sum up the characteristics of that animal so oops okay i will leave space for everyone else what is missing we are running out of blue okay i am not going to ask you to guess i am going to tell you that is supposed to be a tiger and i see them as majestic 0 sorry and independent and proud now who would like to go next yeah me kay cat where did this come from is that your lapel then yep there you go thank you maybe you can guess what i am trying to make a kind of dog yep it is actually sitting so it is sitting it is not standing it is sitting down sorry okay i see it as one thing it is very supportive it is your best friend and your you can talk to a dog it can be your best friend it does not discriminate between you based on what you are 2nd it is loyal and 3rd thing it has got intuition dogs can som sometimes can make out between a thief and a person so basically these are the 3 unique features i think belong to a dog okay thank you thank you yeah i will have a go okay sorry please please leave me a space at the bottom i am little you can get to the top with standing on a chair thanks alright okay well since you guys have chosen the ones i wanted to do i will have to have to go for something a bit random does it look like a dog actually okay and also my drawing skill is not that great so yeah well as you can see the quality of the work today is i think it is outstandingly good okay now i am going to have to change what is was originally going to be because that looks like a beak now so yeah it can be a crocodile it can be a crocodile crocodile going to be a bird is it going to be it is going to be a bird well it was it was an at 1st firstly it was an attempt at a t rex and then it sort of changed into a pelican but it can be a crocodile now actually 0 that is lovely yeah and i will have to think on the spot of things that it is beauti that is scary strong yeah that is about it i think okay it is fine okay i am very impressed with your artistic skills mine is are dreadful oops this is now coming apart let me just put the top in wo i hope that clicks in i will just i will hold it on okay oops 0 dear what happened there technical help hopefully that will stay on 2 handed version okay okay again this is off the top of my head i was going to do a big cat too 0 dear it does not look what like what i want it to be s it is not a vampire bat honestly okay yeah and somewhere there is a body behind okay some sort of bird that is my dreadful that is the worst yet that is it is meant to be an eagle you can tell it is a flying animal could have been a seagull i never thought of a seagull a seagu right not a seagull ah eagle right okay eagle okay an eagle again i am thinking on my feet goodness i suppose they are all so independent i would put that one down again da dum they are good at golf indepen independent right did you say they are good at golf eagle yeah no yeah an eagle are they 0 0 right okay i am not good at golf i would say they are quite free spirited flying around everywhere doing their own thing and birds of prey are not they 0 dear intrepid i will put that intrepid there we go hope that pen is going to be okay that is lovely whoops okay that was fun right finance wise we have got a selling price at €25 which i do not actually know what that is in pounds at all any ideas it is about yeah 17 one4 or something like that one4 would make a pound or something like that yeah yeah something like that so that yeah about £1717 something like that yeah d 15 £17 17 okay that is expensive should we be making notes of this we can just refer to this later can not we but i think so i think so i will be able to pull it up or i could put it in the shared folder or something yeah okay okay havi having said that though if you want to get one of those the the ones on the market at the moment they are s they are about £20 anyway so it would still be yeah we had to buy one right really so so i suppose later it depends if we want to undercut the price we d or or is it going to make our product look a cheapie cheapie option i think yeah production cost is at 1250 so okay pretty huge margin half of the selling price is taken up by building it yeah and profit aim is €50000000 which is in our 1st year yi yes yeah i presume so so then you have got market range international and you did say earlier it has got to be a accessible and usable by sort of all age groups just t we are not focusing on business market any particular thing it is everyone user friendly to everyone no yeah okay big target group so yes yes i do not think we have to i do not think it is a case of worrying about different languages and things like that no making that a key point just that it is going to be in the international market like australia america things like that okay what are your experiences with remote controls i mean i have got we got we had 3 videos a t v and a sort of amp thing all set up so we got one of the universal remote controls yeah alright yeah yeah that c that you program each of your things into but that kept losing the signals so we would have to re program it every now and again i think it was quite a cheapie as well so that might have had something to do with it yeah but that was quite good the fact that you could use all the ones at the same time you did not have 6 remote controls sitting in front of you right okay you want to integrate everything into one like yeah cause you okay my experience has only been being given the remote control with the object i buy not doing any tampering with it and programming using it to program t v and videos and things but basically on off volume up and down channel 12 th that basic functions i do not think i could go any further with it than that so i suppose it has got to be something usable by someone like me as well yeah the main that is the main stuff anyway i mean and you do not want to i hate i hate looking at a control and seeing a 1000000 tiny little buttons with tiny little words saying what they all do and just sitting there searching for the teletext button or something like that yeah and symbols that you do not necessarily understand symbols you are meant to understand that you do not yeah so simplification of symbols you could think of when they are when you have got the main things on the front of it and a section opens up or something to the other functions where you can do sound or options kind of recording 0 yeah things like that inside it cause it does not make when you pick it up it does not make it really complicated to look at it is obvious what you are doing actually that just raises a point i wonder what our design people think but you know on a mobile phone you can press a key and it gives you a menu it has got a menu display i wonder if incorporating that into the design of a remote control might be useful so you have got a little l c d display menu alright yeah right i was thinking on the same lines you instead of having too many b buttons and make it complicated for the user may h maybe have an l c d di display or something like that like a mobile yeah and with menus with menus yeah yeah and if it is s somewhat similar to what you have on mobile phone people might find it easier to browse and navigate also maybe yeah what about the older generation what about granny and grandads you mean to save it lesser number my grandad can answer his mobile phone but he could not even dream of texting or something like that yeah can he program his remote control or is it basic with that too right i do not think they tape things i do not think they use yeah my grandad is actually better than me at using teletext so right right so that is a problem regardless of of any design modifications you you come up with yeah that is going to be a problem anyway with the older generation perhaps and that is another issue how we tackle that yeah the age gap yeah what it just needs to be as long as it is sort of self intuitive and you can can work out what everything is doing cause i mean menus on sort of new phones now they have sort of got all these pictures and stuff which makes it fairly obvious what you are trying to do i do not know i d i do not like the you know the new phones that have kind of got a windows based running system but i do not know how 0 yeah i find it really confusing i kept getting lost in the phone i di i have not got a new one but my friend got a new one and i was trying to do things with it and i just kept getting lost right but that is just me yeah i do not i do not know how for 20 fi or €12 50 how much of a excellent screen you could get yeah you would you would have to sort of keep it down to a black and white l c d thing anyway i would assume is it possible that that for the older generation you could have like an extra button that you press for large print like you do in large print books okay obviously it displays less on the screen it displays less on the screen but as long as they can read it that is the main thing teletext has got that option as well yeah or what about kind of a dual function in that you have got the basic buttons just for your play volume program things and also and then a menu to go into with obvious pictures obvious symbols and that is where you control recording and things like that yeah the other thing is just ch chucking into mobile phone f design features again it could have a flip top remote control so that when you flip over the top your screen is you can have a bigger screen in the the flip over okay i think that is a cost thing i do not i do not know how much we are going to know about s y it might it might save a b bit of space it is i instead of looking bulky it might look small yeah yes no that is important yeah like smaller yeah but it might have its cost implications okay and there is no reason we need to make it look as fashionable and stylish as a mobile phone it can still be lightweight plastic you know right something that is easily molded and produced yeah sorry i am treading on your territory guys no right okay we have got half an hour before the next meeting so we are all going to go off and do our individual things i think that is probably about it and then we will come back and liaise again and i get to do another fantastic powerpoint presentation yeah just just a quick thing about the about what you are saying about the does does it need to be fashionable sure the sort of i i had a quick look at the company website and it is like the the we put the fashion into electronics ah right so i think think the whole design thing might be qui i mean you do not you you can still have plastic and it would look quite good but okay okay okay sure b y yeah but yeah i mean it does not have to be that you know th that was my main point we do not have to use metal yeah i do not know if using plastic does make it cheaper i presume it would yeah yeah yeah yeah i would it would probably yeah i mean there is sky remote controls and everything they are kind of molded and look a bit different and the telewest remote controls are silver plastic which looks a bit smarter so yeah i guess that is stuff we can think about right okay okay so let us break it up there kay okay okay so see you in half an hour do we go back to our room i think so yeah yeah yep
are we we are not allowed to do the lights so we can see that look better yeah okay that is fine am i supposed to be standing up there so we have got both of these clipped on is she going to answer me she is going to answer me yeah i have got right both of me okay yeah okay hello everybody i am sarah the project manager and this is our 1st meeting surprisingly much okay this is our agenda we will

this come from okay you are a parallel okay yep thank you maybe you can guess what i am trying to make it is kind of a dog it is actually sitting so sorry sorry it is sitting it is not standing okay i see it as one thing it is very supportive it is your best friend in your you can talk to a dog it can be a best friend it does not discriminate between you based on what you are 2nd it is loyal and 3rd thing it has got intuition it means dogs can sometimes make out between a thief and a person so basically these are the 3 unique features i think belong to a dog okay thank you thank you yeah okay

because that looks like a beak now crocodile yeah it can be a crocodile it can be a crocodile well it was firstly it was an attempt at a t rex and then it sort of changed in to a pelican but it can be a crockle yeah and i will have to think on the spot of things that it is scary strong yeah that is about it i think okay i am very impressed with your artistic skills mine is are dreadful oops this is now coming apart let me just put the top in i will hope that clicks in i will hold it on oops 0 dear what happened there technical help hopefully that i will stay on 2 handed version okay again this is off the top of my head i was going to do a big cat too it does not look like what i want it to be it is not a vampire bat honestly and somewhere there is a body behind that is my dreadful that is the worst yeah it is meant to be an eagle right you can tell it is a flying animal could have been a seagull i never thought of a seagull an eagle again i am thinking on my feet goodness i suppose they are also independent i would put that one down again they are good a goal independent right did you say they are good at golf yeah are they eagle 0 right okay i am not good at golf i will say they are quite free spirited flying around everywhere doing their own thing and birds of prey are not they 0 dear intrepid intrepid there we go i hope that pen is going to be okay whoops okay that was fine right finance wise we have got selling price at €25 which i do not actually know what that is in pounds at all any ideas 17 one4 yeah one4 would make a pound or something make a little bone or something like that yeah yeah something like that yeah about 17 £17 okay that is fantastic should we be making notes of this we can just refer to this later can not we i think so i think so i would be able to put it up or get it in the shared folder having said that though if you want to get one of those the ones on the market at the moment they are about £20 anyway right yeah we have to buy one so i suppose later it depends if we want to undercut the price or is it going to make our product look a cheapy cheapy option yeah production costs at 1250 so half of the selling prices taken up by building it and profit aim is €50000000 which is a in our 1st year yeah i presume so you have got market range international range international and you did say earlier it has got to be accessible and
