right so start of the 1st meeting right so agenda of the 1st meeting where we we have 25 minutes for this meeting okay we are to get acquainted so does everyone want to say who they are that seem sensible yeah i am robin i am the marketing manager i am louisa i am the user interface designer i am nick i am the industrial designer and i am alastair and i am the project leader alright okay so tool training project plan so does anyone have any thoughts as to the tool training that is required tool training i am not exactly sure what you mean by tool training neither am i 0 i see so we should not really be 0 right okay so so we have the project team which is to basically to come up with a new r remote control device we have the starting base was the original which has been in existence now for a period of time and our idea is to to make the new remote control device more user friendly than the previous one and to to be trendier to be with it and therefore to to get a bigger market share and bigger audience yeah so method of doing this is split up as you can see into the functional design the conceptional design and the detailed design so in each of these phases we will basically be handing over to yourselves the designers of this yes this device and having meetings so that we can during the course of the day come up with a better better inst implement than we had before and therefore have a successful conclusion to the day and you will be doing various designs throughout the day to meet this end okay so we have got tool training try out whiteboard so we will right so everyone is to supposedly draw their favorite animal over on the white board over there i guess this is make sure the whiteboard works so i do not know who wishes to go 1st okay do you wish to go f have a 1st bash at whatever i do not mind i dunno ah let us see good job i got pockets today your microphone is just but now you you you will move out from the microphone and the camera i take it that are we supposed to do this right now do you think or i would i would guess so or yeah you have lost your microphone there i do not know 0 technical problems right here we go i mean you designers are meant to come up with these sort of things okay i think that i would have to say that my favorite animal is the cat little smiley cat there and this would be because they are very independent they are very intelligent compared to dogs maybe and they can be very very affectionate some people do not think so but i know very affectionate cats and they can look after themselves next okay yeah i will i will shall i rub that out actually i do not see as there is any need to there is plenty of space i mean whatever we can have have a whole menagerie exactly shall i see if i can get across without just tangling everything okay there is one we have had more time to prepare over this side so we have all stuck our bits and pieces in our pockets did not think of that kay pens are over here the 3 pens are underneath i will try the red pen okay i am going to go for the bear which i am be able to draw very well but you get marks for artistic impression i will have a bash at it ooh ooh i lost it there i think i have just knocked the microphone so you are just doing the face we will g then we will go for a a s small small bear and i like my animal that looks nothing like a bear because i dunno maybe because there is so many cartoon characters made up after the bear like the jungle book characters and stuff like that great right hello i am going to go for the dog and i am going to draw one badly as well looks like it is going to be a dachshund or something that is quite good right there is my dog i like dogs because they are very loyal and they are always happy so whenever whenever you are feeling sort of a bit a bit down or tired they are always coming up and they are always quite excited so you can always have a lot of fun with a dog and they are also good for exercise as well you can sorta get out and they they sorta never get tired and and when they are tired they are quite cute as well so okay that is why i like dogs right well i have not actually had too many pets over my time cause to be honest with you i am not too keen on them anyway not to worry so what my daughters have got at the moment is they have got a few fish and so hopefully will not prove too difficult to draw as you can see that my artist artistic work is useless as well anyway and one of the best things about fish is that they do not really take too much looking after because with most of the animals if you are going away on holiday or whatever you have got to spend money or get a friend or whatever to look after them for you whereas if you got fish you just got to put the food in a a a dripper feed which feeds them over the couple of weeks that you are away and change the water every couple of months and buy in a few plants so other than the fact that they keep dying fish are are not are are are reasonable pets in that they are low maintenance great right okay if we are still all with us right okay so work has been done on this project where by €25 is the expected selling price that information has come from our marketing manager here yeah so we are looking to sell internationally not just in europe we are looking at having our production costs limited to 12 and an half euro per unit and therefore making a profit margin of well not actually a profit margin it is because obviously you are going to have overheads and various other costs to take from from that to give you your profit margin per unit and so depending what the the overhead costs are will determine how many units we are looking to sell or projecting to sell at this point in time so experience with remote control 1st ideas new remote so i guess we are looking at having a discussion at this point in time to help you folks design our our new model as it were yes so any any thoughts i with some remote controls the buttons were a little small so they are quite hard to press so maybe we make something with easy to press buttons as that is the main function okay so so basically we are looking for some we are looking for a device that is robust and yes and therefore will not get damaged too easily we are looking for a device that is what was the other things you said there sort of easy to use so the buttons are accessible easy to use use is easy to use and see and see yes okay can i just check is this just a television remote because a lot of systems are kind of t v video combined now or t v d v d combined and one of the most annoying things is having like 5 remotes in the house so if you have got a combined system it could be a combined remote or is it just a television that we are supposed to be doing 0 i w basically i will get back to you on that but it seems to me sensible cause as you rightly said there is nothing more annoying than having 3 or 4 devices littered about the about the room yeah and so a device for for all remotes sorry you go i have you go okay yeah one of the things we found from the market research is that people often get confused by the number of buttons on them as well cause there is quite often lots and lots and sometimes they sort of remote controls defeat their own purpose because you are sat in the chair and the remote is somewhere else in the room so whereas in the past you would have to get up to change the channel now you have to get up to sort of pick up the remote so so i do not we need to sort of maybe think about how we could maybe develop a remote control which moves around the room comes to your whistle i do not know that is that is maybe something for the future when you can talk to your television but yeah but is it in a sense it is r mutually exclusive you can not have both the th the one device and then have few buttons on it to cause you want you want simplicity as well yeah you want any idiot to be able to use it yeah whilst at the same time you want as you rightly said one remote for all and so these are probably mutually exclusive options that you could argue that experience of using devices and similar devices as people get more and more used to using remotes yes therefore they are more with handling them therefore you can make them more complicated as time goes on yeah maybe we could have better instructions with the remote or are we just doing the design of the remote control itself or sort of the instructions that would come with it better instructions yeah i mean we have done some research about sort of you know what the cutting edge sort of hand held devices are and a lot of them sort of use you know they are like they are like mini laptops so it is possible that we could devise a system where where you are you are basically sort of holding a a miniature computer which is controlling all your your sort of your television your stereo and where you know if you buy a new thing then it sort of you can link it to that as well maybe okay well we have got 5 minutes before the end of the meeting so we have to start winding up is there next meeting in 30 minutes kay okay so right so we have got i d the come on where is my if you just click return it should be okay it will get rid of the message or not if you hit just hit return and it should get rid of the message 0 there we go 0 you have got yeah that is what i was looking for right so we have got function 0 what happened to the i think that might be back to the start yeah if you grab the kind of slide to the left and pull it down slide 4 yeah right right okay sorry about that okay so we have got the working design for i d for u i d the technical functions design marketing the user requirement specification specific instructions will be sent to you by your person by your personal coach so are we all clear what objectives we are looking to meet in the next 30 minutes and i guess i will try and write up some minutes of this meeting to to give it to you for the next meeting yes kay yes i am not exactly clear on what we are designing the rem remote for is this a mun multi functional one or do we decide that ourselves as we go away and work on it i think you just said at the start it was a television remote control so maybe we should just stick to that unless we get told otherwise television remote control right that is true cause during during the course of our day we might make decisions based on information or meetings that would change where we are going okay cool but at this point in time i think you are right that shall we make it just a t v okay kay so we will depart we will stay here and and break off and i will do minutes and and we will see you in half and hour okay that is great okay okay cheers okay right s
take of the media 0 just no no you are okay you are okay okay okay okay okay is that okay okay okay okay okay so start of the 1st meeting right so agenda of the 1st meeting where we have 25 minutes

make sure the whiteboard works so i do not know who wishes to go 1st you wish to go have a 1st bash at whatever i know i have got pockets today but now you you you know you move out from the microphone and the camera i take it right now i would i would guess so or you have lost their microphone right now and the camera problems i mean you designers are meant to come up with things okay i think that i would have to say that my favorite animal is the cat a little smiley cat there and this would be because they are very independent they are very intelligent compared the dogs maybe and they can be very very affectionate some people do not think so but i know very affectionate cats and they can look after themselves thank you should i love that out actually i do not see as there is any need to there is plenty of space i mean whatever i have a whole menagerie exactly i will see if i can get the cost right this time we have had more time to prepare over this side so we have all stuck our bits and pieces in the pockets i did not think of that okay the 3 pens are underneath 3 pens are underneath i will try the red pen okay i am going to go for the bear which i may be able to draw very well i will have a bash of it you get marks for artistic impression so i lost it there so you are just doing the face they will go for a small bear one and i will go for a small bear button i like my animal that looks nothing like a bear because i do not know maybe because there is so many cartoon characters have made up out of the bear like the jungle group characters and stuff like that right hello i am going to go for the dog i am going to draw one badly as well well it looks like it is going to be a dachshund or something that is quite good right there is my dog i like dogs

looking after with most of the animals if you are going to win holiday or whatever you have got to spend money or get a friend or whatever to look after them for you whereas if you got fish you are just got to put the food in a dropper feed which feeds them over the couple of weeks at your way and change the water every couple of months and buying a few plants so other than the fact they keep dying fish are not are not are our are our are our are our are reasonable pets in that they are low maintenance right okay we are still with us right okay so work has been done on this project whereby

in time so experience with remote control 1st ideas new remote so i guess we are looking at having a discussion at this point in time to help you folks design our new model as it were so any thoughts maybe i am going to start a remote controls the buttons are a little small they are quite hard to press so maybe we can make something with the use of press but that is the main function okay so basically we are looking for some we are looking for a device that is robust and therefore we will get damaged to easily we are looking for device that is what was the other thing you said there easy to use easy to use use use nc and see okay because a lot of them television remote because a lot of them systems are kind of tv video combined now or tv dvd combined and one of the most annoying things is having like 5 remote in a house so if you have got a combined system it could be a combined remote or is it just the television that was supposed to be doing well i will get back to that but

you just click return it should be okay get rid of the message or not if you hit return it should get rid of the message there we go that is what we are looking for right so we have got functional 0 what happened to the i think that might be back and the soft if you grab the kind of a slide to the left and pull it down yeah right sorry about that okay so we have got the working design for id the uid the technical functions design marketing the user requirement specification specific instructions sent to you by your personal coach so we all clear what objectives we are living to meet in the next 30 minutes and i guess i will try and write up some minutes of this meeting to give it to you for the next meeting i am not exactly clear on what we are designed remote for is this a multi functional one or do we decide that ourselves as we go away and work on it i think you just said at the start there was a television remote television remote control that is true because during the course of our day we might make decisions based on information or meetings that would change where we are going but at this point in time i think you are right that so make it just a tv okay so depart we will stay here and break off and i will do minutes and i will see you in half now okay okay okay right so
