oops that is as far as it goes hi guys good morning everybody here and i want to introduce myself my name is shrida daseri and i am a project manager for this new project which we are going to discuss now so i want to introduce 1st of all the names and the colleagues here and what you are drawing sure my name is agnes and i am an user usability user interface designer my name is ed and i do accounting how you spell your name e d e d okay and do you also do marketing no so only accounting accounting yes okay and and i am christine and my role in this scenario is to be the industrial designer industrial designer but i am not really one so who is marketing nobody in the market marketing is is me it is you okay so thanks for coming for the meeting 1st of all and we have a long time just 25 minutes to discuss about this project and the the project initiation 1st of all i want to ask mister ed about your marketing plan and your product plan and well i think that we will see that throughout the day in how we are going to put this together as a marketing to to market the product we will have to see on a through discussion on where we are going to go from here and from with this but do you already have like a functional design or a technical design or for the moment not yet 0 for the moment not yet okay but what is what is your do you have some project plan something with you or good question no this is like i said that we have to be discussed between all of us and we will go from there we will have to simply we will have to work on it together okay so by when you think you can give me some kind of project plan okay a discussion with certainly by the next meeting by next meeting okay that will be great okay so there is any questions or 1st of all about this project what is the goal of the project the goal of the project i think maybe i will hand out to the ed okay so to explain what is the project because he is in the sales and the accounting i am in the sales i am supposed to explain them what to do we have to define exactly what our product is from yes so can you explain what exactly the product is from what i had in mind we are supposed to be marketing coffee is that right 0 i think if i am not wrong we are making the remote control i was wondering remote controls cause i had 2 different things i had a 1st part of mine was to make a remote control for a new f remote control for television and afterward i had a discussion about coffee so we will start with the remote control for television then yes so we are have to design something that is very user friendly something visual that has something that will will draw people to buy the product because i think everybody is experienced with remote controls and some remote controls are are worth throwing out the window th most of them ar i do not know we are have to come up with a new idea on how to make it a lot easier to use cause a lot of times spend half a day through the instruction book trying to figure out how to use it and what abo christine what about your the industrial design plan are you have a design already on this product or you are still working on the design no i i have not begun working on the design and i i actually did not know we were designing a remote control i thought we were designing a new monitor the website i went to look at had some announcements about an introduction of a some sort of a 7 inch monitor and i understood that that was the project goal so i am glad i did not d do any work ahead of time because i clearly did not understand the project goal okay i just did s see that we were starting a new project together and there was going to be a 4 member team composed of these people and that is about that is and i i read through the different steps and what my responsibilities were relative to the steps so you will be leading the team for your design team or how many members is working in the team for the design for the industrial design yes well i would th think that depends on how much money you give us okay that is because you know you can you can make it you have different choices with different financial models yeah but before we talk about the finance okay do you have some idea how we can sell this product or project in the market and how much is going to benefit to the company and of course it is to the individual also well you know i kind of think that in general you have to do y you have to have something that is very fashionable that is very attractive that people see and recognize its goal and they immediately want to have it have one of their own so it would really would need to something like the ipod would be good seems to have caught on fairly well so d you know i do not care what it does just so it looks cool okay but when you think you can give me like a kind of design on the functional design or the technical design well i have got a lot of other projects i am doing right now and so i will have to wait and see how those how those go if they go quickly then it could be a month if if i run into any problems in my other projects it might be 6 months yeah but i need something in the writing so like what is your functional design what is your technical design and how many people you need for this project and what is the time frame you are looking okay and what is the budget maybe initial budget you are looking okay and how is going to the market okay so you have you have had to meet with the marketing team and how they are going to market and what are the marketing strategic plan okay when are you going to introduce okay and by the time you introduce the product and you know there there would be a competition okay so i need some kind of the plan in the writing from you and when would you like that okay and it is po b as soon as possible well if if we have enough time then d do you think 2 weeks is a is close enough yes i think that would be good because i need to go to the management and tell them what we are going to do and what cost is okay and what is the time frame and what is the project plan because without any documentations i cannot go to the management and say so we are going to do this and we need this much money okay so then it is it is difficult for me to say okay that is the reason i need some kind of plan from you initially okay then we can have the further discussion again are there other people who will be contributing to the plan yes of course if you need some help so let me know so who are the people you need from the marketing or the technical side or the administration point of view okay to add in any documentation or some technical point of view so just let me know so i can coordinate all the teams okay i will get back to you on that yes thank you okay and ed so what is what do you think about this project for the remote control and d do you have some already planned something for your marketing strategy or the sales strategy well not yet other than doing research and taking remote controls and looking what other companies have to do what they are building their designs their ideas also have to pinpoint which market we are going to go into it should be a fairly large market because the number of people that the competition th i agree it has to be something it has to be something new it has to be something that that draws people saying eh i like this whether it works or not they have to 1st say i like this i like the design and then it has got to be simple to use yes so what i prefer maybe you need to interact more with the christine okay because you know what she is going to do it okay and you know how to sell it okay because she is doing the design but you are the core because you are in the marketing okay yeah so because you need to sell and you are the responsible for the all the money the finance okay tomorrow so what i prefer okay so you need to interact with the christine more and within her team okay who is using the functional design or technical design okay and you need to come up with some kind of plan okay how we are going to do the your sales plan okay th do we already have a cost limit on this th an idea of how much we want to market this for th that that is how much it is going to sell for that is up that is up to us to decide eh yes that is you have to decide okay so the best thing is you both of the christine and you discuss with yourself okay and come up with the cost and how we are going to compete in the market okay in the the technically or in the sales wise okay the commercial wise okay then we have to design okay how long it will take the whole project okay how much is going to cost us and how much we are going to benefit for the company okay of course it is it is of benefit for everybody individually okay so i think it is maybe if we can give me some kind of your the sales plan okay including the technical what she is going to talk to you within the team okay then it will help me to discuss with the management for further okay and put it in the the proper project plan very good okay and if you need any coordination in between compared to the maybe the some technical vendors or commercial vendors okay depends if you want to have some marketing plan or technical plan okay so you let me know okay i can coordinate or maybe you are my coordinator am i right very good between all the coor well no not exactly i mean my job from what i understood was to look at the usability requirements and make sure that the product is usable it is acceptable to the people who are going to use it and look at the best ways to do that yeah so i think i will have to interact with christine and discuss with her th christine yeah so that she is not designing something that my studies will show right off the bat that it is not going to work which is and so it is sort of it is a loop that feeds in but i do not think necessarily that i am in a coordinating position for it yes yeah so basically you need to interact with christine more okay for the user acceptability okay and the testing okay then you will yeah which will also feed into the marketing because depending on what users want depends on how you sell it yes yes what tag lines you attach to it how you try to make it more attractive to users yeah yeah yeah so i think all 3 groups will need to interact quite a bit and then i guess build the plan based on all of that because i think you need to take all the factors into account yep but what i request okay keep ed in the loop okay yeah of course in between your meeting and christine meeting because he should know what is happening yeah we can c c him on any discussions or documents that are passed around yes okay and please please copy all the mails okay all the discussions to me okay so i need to submit to the management sure no problem so any questions for time being no so the immediate next step is to start determining the functional design or okay yes okay to come up with the functional design and to discuss with ed okay and how it is going to be work and 1st of all with your user acceptance okay how it looks like and how it is going to be work in the market okay so then we can discuss about further things okay so we will meet when the we will discuss on the further meeting it is okay thanks for coming would you mind at the conclusion of our meeting could could you send us a copy of your slides yes i will yeah that would be useful yes i will copy le let us keep all the emails and all the copies okay share
