okay hi everybody and welcome to our kick off meeting for our new product that we are going to be designing i am mandy and i am the project manager and i know all your names again courtney fenella and amber yep yep alright okay so 1st let us go through this powerpoint i wonder what button i press just do it on the arrow yeah or how about i just click okay here is our agenda for this meeting we are going to start with our opening which was our introductions we are going to get to know each other a little bit better tool training we are going to i guess figure out what to do on this project with our individual roles we are going to make a project plan and then have some time for discussion and close up the meeting okay here is our project we are going to make a new remote control that is original trendy and also user friendly and how we are going to do it is each of us is going to we are going to have discuss the functional design 1st how is it going to be used what is the actual goal here it has to operate t v blah blah blah and we are going to do individual work on that and then meet same thing with conceptual design just the basic overview of the project and then we are going to do individual work meet that is pretty much the the whole process for today and then the detailed design just more in depth get the actual schematics of the remote okay alright 1st we are going to start off by using our tools and the whiteboard thing do you guys want to give that a try even though the ink was not working or do you want to do it on here i think we should forgo the whiteboard since we can not actually see what we are writing we could yeah we could on here alright let us go forward then right now so we are all going to draw our favorite animal and then sum up our favorite characteristics of that animal even if you are not a good drawer like me alright artistic skills nil fine 0 thanks bless you i draw like i am in grade 5 0 do i kay about one more minute okay okay and who would like to start us off i will go alright this is my picture i drew fish i like fish because you know their whole water vascular system thing it is pretty cool and they have got a pretty good habitat and they are pretty sometimes sometimes vicious but that is okay only if they are piranhas yeah yeah they they are easy you know yeah alright who wants to go next i will go i drew a kitty it is pretty much impossible to tell that is a cat but i love cats no i i see it no i kne i knew no it looks like a cat yeah it does look like a cat i love cats because they are independent they pretty much know what they want they get it they move on i love cats too yeah i am a cat person i am allergic to cats ah i am allergic to cats too 0 okay if you are around one i had a roommate who was allergic in my next life but if she was around my cat forever she became used to it you know it is weird yeah yeah if you are around them for a long period of time i still can not sleep with them in my room okay 0 yeah this summer i 0 i had to live with cats it was crazy yeah okay fenella i drew a badger cool yay badger well yeah good choice why a badger i dunno they are grumpy and nocturnal and are you trying to suggest something well a little bit like the yes and then if you know wind in the willows badger 0 okay yeah and then i do not know if you know brian he is liverpudlian writer alright that kind of books badgers are cool in that one too okay and i am last kay look at my sad sad giraffe no that is good no no no it ends up looking like some kind of a dinosaur but whatever i do not know even much about giraffes but i just love the way they look they are just such odd creatures you know i i like that they are so unique and individual i guess i do not know much about their behavior or anything though only seen a couple in zoos you do not really have to i mean if you like em yeah but you can appreciate the way they look okay alright guess we are getting straight back into business here the selling price for our remote is going to be €25 and our profit aim is €50000000 we are going to make this an international product marketed in the states in europe in asia and our production cost to make that profit is going to be a max of €1250 per remote okay so we are going to talk for a little while here are some topics that we might be able to discuss expe our experiences with remote controls our 1st ideas about this new remote anything that you can bring to the table for this project so now yeah you want to start us off anybody have anything to offer well we want to make a multifunctional remote right right one remote for everything and everything being wait we have what sound system t v d v d v h s tivo right i think they will be phasing v h s out shortly yeah tivo tivo but it is still there so okay if po if we are going to do it it needs to be compatible cause universal remote controls are never universal they are never universal that is right esp e especially if you buy a a not big product d v d player say usually it does not work if it is not one of the yeah or if it is not like a sony if it is like a i do not know yeah something from sam is club so we will have to figure it how to cover all the different variances in signals yeah and what we need an insanely good instruction booklet because you always have to reconfigure all your contraptions to go with the remote anyways yeah kay and another thing that i think is important is the d the design of the product how it feels in your hand if it is just flat and kind of boring th those do not nobody wants to buy those any more they want the ergonomic ones they want like the flashy lights yeah 0 like this came from las vegas ones that ones that look high tech too but at the same time are simple yeah right so that people like my mother can use it what about something with the curvature like that matches the curvature of a hand yeah kay anybody have any experiences with remote controls that they can remember that just bad ones yeah that is true what kinda battery would we want to use because battery changing is usually okay d double a double a do some of them use triple a s though yeah some use triple a s some but so double or triple okay yeah i guess then it is if we need to do triple a we can but most people usually have double a s around okay yeah but that has to do with the size of it too right yeah well w as long as we know that issue is yeah if we want it to be more thin then we would probably want to go with a triple a here we can triple a can you with a small lithium battery but it is okay we do not have to decide about it now just as long as we remember battery type and size is important hey anything else alright moving along 0 we are closing the meeting next meeting is going to start in 30 minutes here is what we are going to do the i d which is who okay you are going to think about the working design what do you think that means okay and u i d the technical fun functions design making sure it does everything that we need the remote to do the functionality of it operating all those different things okay and the marketing person that is courtney is going to do the user requirements specification i guess that means specifying what exactly the user is going to be looking for right right i would think so okay and you are going to get more specific instructions emailed to you in just a little while okay so does anybody have anything they want to say before we close the meeting okay this meeting is officially over
