yep soon as i get this okay this is our last meeting i will go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting and then we will have a the prototype presentation then we will do an evaluation or we will see what what we need to have under the criteria for the evaluation then we will go through the finance and see if we fall within the budget then we will do the evaluation and then we can finish up after that with any changes that we will need to make or hopefully everything will fall right in line let us see minutes from the last meeting we looked at the the trends we had the fashion trends that people want a fancy look and feel it was twice as important as anything else they liked fruit and vegetables in the new styles and a spongy feel so we were talking about trying to incorporate those into our prototype they wanted limited buttons and simplicity then we looked at the the method for coming up with our own remote looking at other other devices the ipod we really liked the look of that we also had the kid is remote for a simple idea a 2 part remote which was what were were originally looking at and then there was talk of spee speech recognition becoming more predominant and easier to use but i think we have still decided not to go with that then we looked at the components the materials for the case the different energy sources the different types of chips and made a decision on what we were going to use to make our remote and basically how what were making for the prototype so i am going to leave it at that and let you guys take over the prototype discussion the prototype yeah do you need a this no okay can try to plug that in there but there is our remo the banana yeah basically we we saint went with the color yellow working on the principle of a fruit which was mentioned it is basically designed around a banana but it would be held in such a fashion where it is obviously it would not be that floppy cause this would be hard plastic these would be like the rubber the rubber grips so that is so that would hopefully help with grip or like the ergonomics of it but all the controlling would be done with this scroll wheel you have to use your imagination a little bit and this here represents the screen where you where you would go through very nice and the the simplest functions would be almost identical to an ipod where that one way ch through channels that way th other way through channels volume up and down and then to access the more complicated functions you would you sorta go you press that and go through the menus it is that that simple that just represents the infrared beam that is a simple on and off switch i do not know we could use the voice t that blue bits should be yellow d that that would be where the batteries would be i suppose and that is about it it is as simple as you we could make it really is there anything you want to add right that is what we have there that is plastic plastic covered with rubber we might add some more underneath here maybe give it give it a form i mean you are supposed to hold it like that but just if you grab it take it from somewhere so yeah you have some rub yeah yeah does not make much make much difference you could work left handed or right handed i suppose exactly use both might as well think about t the actual thing might be smaller th think about the button as well yeah like either put either 11 on either side or what but what is that button not do it at all just the on and off it is a quick on off button kay that is yeah i think it is pretty important so you do not have to fiddle with that kay right that is not i would say a bit smaller would probably be nice yeah you want to play with that over there there you go it is you know it is flimsy cause it is made out of heavy play doh but would you like to right pretty impressive well done kind of a banana and whether or not it would fall into the cost everything i suppose with the scroll and the l c d well luckily we are going to find out or not luckily i do do you have a marketing presentation for us okay you guys are going to help me do an evaluation of the criteria okay so 1st i will just discuss some of the criteria that i found just based on the past trend reports that i was looking at earlier and then we will do a group evaluation of the prototype and then we will calculate the average score to see how we did so the criteria we are going to be looking at are the complaints that we heard from the users who were interviewed earlier so we are going to be doing it based on a 7 point scale and one is going to mean true that we did actually achieve that with 7 being false we did not achieve that okay so for the 1st one we need to decide did we solved the problem of the users who complained about an ugly remote i think it is definitely different than anything else out there yeah so if they think that what is out there is ugly then yes i would say i would say most definitely i would it is bright it is bright it is it still has your traditional black it is curved it is not there is no sharp angles to it yep not angular i would say when it comes to the ergonomics the form and stuff yes that is definitely more beautiful than your average however the color we do not have a say in that yeah i think the colors detract a little bit some people might say it that has been that has been dictated pretty much by the company yeah so to answer that honestly i would rather say like that is true yep we have not solved the problem completely with the ugly remote because the color is ugly definitely yeah yeah is nothing you can say about that i mean i much prefer something like brushed chrome with that form yeah but yeah something more modern to go a a modern color to go with the modern form right right it is different you do not want your 3 feet huge l c d dis display in your living room that is hanging from the wall to be controlled with something like that okay so do you think since we this was a a sign criteria do you think maybe we should put it somewhere in the middle then does that sound good yeah yeah yeah what do you think 3 4 i would say 5 4 4 is fair yeah okay very non committal 4 okay the 2nd one did we make it simple for new users it is very intuitive i think yeah yeah i think that was the main aim one of the main aims that we had s give it a one one kay yeah okay do the controls now match the operating behavior of the users yeah i would say that cause we have we have brought it down to basically 4 controls most common which are channel and volume right and then the other ones are just a matter of just going just scrolling further s scrolling through and selecting a few yeah right so one so that is a one yeah i think that is a one okay okay the 4th one how about the problem of a remote being easily lost one of the number one complaints something that big and that yellow you just do not lose anymore yeah whether you want to or not you are not going to lose it it is bright yellow bright yellow is hard to lose but if we were to if we were that the speech recognition that we could maybe just use that solely for the the finding thing that was what we would we would mentioned so if we incorporate speech recognition into it then it could just just to use to find it when it was lost but like i said like i do not think you would lose something so yellow so easily oops and it is not going to fall like a rectangle would slip down behind things that is going to be a difficult shape to well what and it is quite bright and yeah maybe in the middle again 3 or 4 or something s okay i mean you know loo losing things is one of those things that people can lose i mean a 1000000 ways yeah you can pick it up and walk away with it and then you have lost it that is true but if we do go with the with the speech recognition then it then our scale goes up quite a bit i think 0 yeah yeah you probably probably 2 you know if we eliminate the fact that you know it is impossible to guarantee that it is not going to be lost then yeah i would say 2 with the speech recognition which of course may be changed depending on budget yeah y you could add an extra feature actually which makes this thing raise hell when you remove it too far from the television yeah we could add that but that is nothing we have thought of so far which which may be cheaper than speech recognition if it were just a yes yeah true but i mean d just those whistling clapping key rings you have annoying alarm or something yeah it is it is they are cheap so it can not be that the it is based on this anti anti theft technology for suitcases and stuff where you have one piece that is attached to your luggage another piece that starts beeping expensive some sort of proximity yeah that can not cost much yeah so that can also easily be integrated because these things are small enough to to hide so you have one piece you have to glue somewhere behind your stick it behind your t v and the other stick it on the t v pray that you do not accidentally lose that piece right that would be tough then well also your remote would alarm you if somebody stole you t your television yeah ran off with it without taking the beautiful remote control yeah so are we adding one of these 2 features let us add one of those features and say yes going to say okay okay so we are back to a one or a 2 2 2 2 kay 2 okay are we technologically innovative i would say so do not get many mo remote controls with it is all just screens on it is all just stolen technology when it comes down to right right right right yeah it is stolen technology from ipod yeah it is but we have but there is not a lot of yellow there is not a lotta yellow but for remotes yeah course that was not really we were kinda forced to take that color fa 2 3 cause it is stolen i do not know that we are that innovative to tell you the truth no maybe not yeah not really but how many remotes do you see like this not so many if we added the screaming factor then we go up right i would say we are probably at 4 really okay that is going to hurt us okay spongy material yeah well you have that kind of sort of we have some spongy yeah yeah as much as as needed i think kay it is not a one though no one would be the whole thing yeah because it is only got what these parts are the grips and perhaps the back side the bottom the underneath on the back to fold and stuff yeah yeah so that is a 4 at most probably a 4 at most and lastly did we put the fashion in electronics possibly even a 5 y yes i would say we did yeah if your fashion is b is carmen miranda you betcha more yeah well the recent fashion is rather displayed in the in the l c d and the way you operate it than the form and the color but it definitely is on the it is true yeah be what we were told and they would say yeah definitely kay alright now we just got to calculate 681216 17 divided by s 7 is 8 2 point 24 is that some long division no well i have not done math in years something what 2 i dunno just i am sure there is a okay we will say 242 right how does that look i am impressed i can not do that without a calculator it has been a while no i can not do long very impressive and what what is the acceptable criteria is there like a scale that we have to hit 0 no they just told me to pick my own criteria and have you guys evaluate it basically alright then so that is that okay well let us see now we get to do the budget numbers you did not know that you were going to have a budget but we do okay yeah yeah so you had been going a long time dividing that it is 24285 se it just keeps going on 0 my god okay 242 basically yeah we will go with that 50% you are kidding not too shabby so i have here an yeah p we want a 50% profit on this 0 you can not really see that very well charge about 300 quid for it €125 is what supposed to cost us okay so it is too much well let us see the f the wonder if i can make this what the 0 it will not let me do that okay alright so at top i do not know if you guys can read that or not i can not cause i do not have my glasses on but so we have got the energy source there is 456 categories battery we have energy source electronics case then we have case material supplements interface type and then button supplements okay so 1st of all energy source we picked battery and how many batteries do we think this will probably take probably some e either 2 or 4 2 2 like it at 4 it is going to be too heavy so that that is not our problem people can change it every month excellent they will not know until after they bought it this is consumerism alright so for the electronics our choices are simpl simple chip on print regular chip on print advanced chip on print sample sensor sample speaker we are advanced chip are we that is the advanced chip on print yeah kay we have one of those kay then the case is a probably it is double curved double curved yes case materials are plastic plastic i guess it is 2 since one for the top one for the bottom n no is that right or is it just one no that is just one maybe it is one because of the it is just one mo single mold we can do that kay yeah yeah right i guess it does not matter cause the price on that one is 0 which is nice exactly right 0 special color that is not a special color bright yellow it is a specially ugly color but it is not special interface type we have pushbutton scroll wheel interface integrated scroll wheel pushbutton and an l c d display s s that is yeah so we actually have the l c d display and then and then is it the integrated or is it i would say the integrated yes unfortunately yeah kay button supplement special color special form special material we could of course make the buttons wood say mahogany or so it would look really lovely or titanium or titanium yeah they cost us all the same remote control just well we only have one button so really we should not be charged we should not be charged anything for the the button supplements no that is getting a bit tiny yeah i would ignore that leave it blank okay we are going to leave that one blank because we run on a l c d and scroll so our total is 155 which i believe is yeah that is too much by €3 over it is hard to believe so we will go for the hand dynamo huh so the only thing better than a banana shaped remote is one that you shake if it w what if we completely took out the the one single button we have got on and just had a scroll wheel interface and the l c d display i suppose the l c d c display is the one that is pushing it up a bit though yeah cause the well cause we have to have both right yeah i mean let us let us face it it also depends on the software on the on the television yeah you can have the the information that this thing transmits be being displayed on the on the screen so s yeah let us take away the yeah you could maybe take out the l c d dis display even if it if it comes up on the computer itsel on the t v itself yeah yeah right so we may not need the l c d display that is possible yeah right we may not need it there you go well there we go perfect there we go perfect 125 okay so we just remove our screen screen here make it a bigger dial easier to use even easier to use then okay the besides look at what the l c d does to our lovely remote back to the design room boys so we can just take away a heck of a lot of the there you go central what is the blue part that was just we ran out of yellow 0 that is the batteries 0 that is just yeah okay there you go there you go oops even simpler looks more like a banana yeah for all those fruit lovers out there there you go one more criteria okay so the costs under €125 was no we redesigned it yeah now it is yes next slide project evaluation project process satisfaction with for example room for creativity leadership teamwork means new ideas found so i guess that let us see here i think that perhaps the project evaluation is just supposed to be completed by me but i would like to hear your thoughts fair enough trying to fill in some time there h what did you think of our project process i think we did yeah i think we did quite well great yeah good good teamwork just half a day you have a remote yeah there you go right from the start of the day yeah i think we sort of knew where we were going straight away i thought we saint we started off a little little weak our leadership was quite weak in the beginning but as the day went along we had more idea of what we were doing room for creativity there was that i think we tried a lotta different things and i think it was interesting as you guys brought up more information and studies that we were right on with a lot of those things you guys worked together well as a team and the means which was the whiteboard and the pens yeah we have used the whiteboard super super i had some problem with the pen i think but minus your p minus your powerpoint fiasco well that is not my fault that is obviously the people i work for that work for me they have just you know no i know i am yeah well incom heads are going to roll believe me have a we have a list of employees that you would like fired yes yes okay n new ideas found kinda yes for the remote maybe no not f for technology used technology alright closing costs are within the budget project is evaluated complete the final questionnaire and meeting summary that is it excellent and i still have to do my minutes for the last meeting actually so there will probably be another questionnaire coming up we might have a while though and then we will have to check with the main boss whether we can what goes on after that but that is the end of our meeting
yep as soon as i am as i okay this is our last meeting i will go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting and then we will have a prototype presentation then we will do an evaluation or we will see what we need to have under the criteria for the evaluation then we will go through the finance and see if we see if we fall within the budget then we will do the evaluation and then we can finish up after that with any changes that we will need to make or hopefully everything will fall right in line see minutes from the last meeting we looked at the trends we had the fashion trends that people want a fancy look and feel it was twice as important as anything else they liked fruit and vegetables in the new styles and a spongy feel so we were talking about trying to incorporate

were going to use to make our remote and basically how what we were making for the prototype so i am going to leave it at that and let you guys take over the prototype the discussion prototype yeah do you need this no there is our i will plug that in there but i will have the banana yeah basically we went with the color yellow working on the principle of a fruit which was mentioned it is basically designed around a banana but it would be held in such a fashion whereas obviously it would not be that floppy because this would be hard plastic these would be like the rubber the rubber grips so that is how helpful we will grip how like the ergonomics of it but all the controlling would be done with this scroll wheel to use your imagination a little bit and this here represents the screen where

it as different you work left handed all that i suppose exactly might as well the actual thing might be smaller think about the button yeah yeah put either one put on either side what is that button not do it at all just a quick on off button it is yeah i think it is pretty important so you do not have to fit over that okay that is not i would say a bit smaller would probably be nice yeah you are going to play with that over there there you go it is flimsy because it is made out of heavy fight out do you like to do that that impressive well done kind of a banana whether or not it would fall to the cost of the scrawl and the lcd well luckily we are going to find out or not luckily do you have a marketing presentation for us okay you guys are going to help me do an evaluation of the criteria okay so 1st i will just discuss some of the criteria that i found just based on the past trend reports that i was looking at earlier and then we will do a group evaluation of the prototype and then we

honestly i would rather say like we have not solved the problem completely yeah and be remote because the color is ugly definitely there is nothing you can say about that i mean i much prefer something like brushed chrome yeah with that form yeah something more modern to go right a modern color to go with the modern form right it is different you do not want your 3 feet huge lcd display in your living room that is hanging from the wall to be controlled with something like that okay so do you think since we this was not assigned criteria do you think maybe we should put it somewhere in the middle of them yeah is that something good yeah yeah what do you think 34 i would say 4 4 is fair okay very non committal 4 okay the 2nd one did we make it simple for new users it is very intuitive i think yeah yeah i see that was the main name the main names that we had do we have one one yeah okay okay do the controls now match the operating behavior of the users yeah because we have brought it down to basically 4 controls with the most common channel and volume and then the other one is just a matter of just going just scrolling further scrolling through and select a few so that

2 2 okay are we technologically innovative do not get my name up it is all just no controls with it is all just stolen technology yeah ipod but there is not a lot of yellow there is not a lot of yellow of course that was not really you are kind of forced to take that color 2 3 i do not know that we are that innovative to tell you the truth but how many remotes do you see like this if we added the screaming factor then we go up i would say we are probably up 4 really it is going to hurt us okay spongy material yeah we do have that we have some spongy material yeah it is maybe okay it is not

most lastly did we put the fashion in electronics yes your fashion is carmen miranda you betcha well the recent fashion is rather displayed in the lcd and the way you operated form on the color but it definitely is what we were told let us say yeah definitely all right now i just got to calculate 6 and 127 divided us 6 about it 7 is 2 point it is like 24 well i have not done math in you what i do not know i am showing us it out right now okay we will say 24 too right how does that work i am impressed i can not do that without a calculator it has been a while and what is the acceptable criteria is there like a scale that we have to hit 0 no it just told me to pick my own criteria and have you guys evaluate it basically all right then so that is that okay well let us well let us see now we get to do the budget numbers you did not know that you were going to have a budget but we do okay so it has been going a long time it is 2442 right i said it just keeps going on 24 to you guys yeah we will go on that so i have here 50% 50% you are kidding yeah we want a 50% profit on this you can not really see that very well i will talk about $1000 to quit for you €125 is what supposed to cost us okay so it is too much well let us see the the like this okay all right all right so at top i do not know if you guys can read that or not i can not sit on my glasses on so we have got the energy source there is 456 categories we have energy source electronics case then we have case material supplements interface type and then button supplements so 1st of all energy source we picked battery

advanced chip probably that is the advanced chip on print yeah we have one of those okay then the case is a probably it is double curved yes case materials are plastic plastic plastic i guess it is 2 since one for the top one for the bottom is that right or is it just one no maybe it is one because of the it is just one single one one single mold we can do that okay yeah yeah i guess it does not matter because the price on that one is 0 which is nice right special color that is not a special color it is a specially ugly color but it is not special interface type we have push button scroll wheel interface integrated scroll wheel push button and an lcd display yeah so we actually have the lcd display and then is it the integrated or outside the integrated yes yeah okay button supplements special color special form special material we could of course make the buttons wood same mahogany or so would it look really lovely or titanium it costs us all the same well we only have one button so really we should not be charge we should not be charged anything for the button supplements yeah i did not know okay we are going to leave that one blank because we run on an lcd and scroll so our total is 155 which i believe is by €3 over it is hard to believe so we go for the hand dynamo so the only thing better than a banana shaped remote is one that you shake what if we completely took out the one single button we have got on and just had a scroll wheel interface and the lcd display i suppose the lcd display is a one that is putting it up a bit down yeah because we have to have both right yeah i mean let us face it it also depends on the software on the television you can have the information that this thing can be displayed on the screen yeah you could maybe take out the lcd right even if it comes up on the computer itself on the tv itself so we may not need the lcd display not as possible here right we may not need it there you go there we go there we go 125 okay so we just remove our screen screen here make it a bigger dial easy to use even easy to use huh yeah besides look at what the lsa does to our lovely remote okay back to the design room boys so we can just take weight there you go what is the blue part that was just we got out of yellow there you go there you go even simpler looks more like a banana yeah those few lovers out there okay so costs under $125 no we redesigned it now it is yes next slide project evaluation project process satisfaction with for example room for creativity leadership teamwork means new ideas found so i guess that i think that perhaps the project evaluation is just supposed to be complete by me but i would like to hear your thoughts i kind of fill in some time there what did you think of our project process yeah i think we do not quite well yeah right from the start of the day right from the start of the day yeah we sort of knew where we were going straight away i thought we started off a little little week our leadership was quite weak in the beginning but as the day went along we had more idea of what we were doing room for creativity there was that i think we tried a lot of different things and i think it was interesting as you guys brought up more information and studies that we were right on with a lot of those things you guys worked together well as a team and the means which was the the whiteboard and the pens i had some problem with the pen i think mine is your powerpoint yes well that is not my fault no i know people i work for income you have a list of employees that you would like fired yes yes okay new ideas found yes for the remote maybe no not for or technology closing cost are within the budget project is evaluated complete final questionnaire and meeting someone that is it excellent i still have to do my minutes for the last meeting actually so there will probably be another questionnaire coming up and then we will have to check with the main boss whether we can what goes on after that but that is the end of our meeting thank you
