GAM 720 Week 2:05 Sprint retrospective (Module 740)

Sprint retrospective (Module 740) 
This project was challenging and the final artefact video and reflective report are still in the process of submission due to a delay with client contact. 

  • The initial meeting with Diamond Mowers went well. The business and competitors were  thoroughly researched and the needs of the business were understood.  DM Client change of circumstances meant suspending the project. The key challenge was whether there would be time to enter into a development project as the client was experiencing some difficulty. It was negotiated that the project could be picked up later and the relationship remained positive and healthy. I left the meeting sure that we would work on something together in the future.  
  • Writing a proposal for my second client, NHS went well. Although there was some resistance to the idea of designing an immersive learning experience with A/R and VR functionality, it was possible to explain that it would be a proof of concept and not a finished product. Managing the client expectations was important throughout the project as they often wanted to add in additional functions or design. I explained that, due to the limitations of the project I was working mainly on the basic functionality and concept but I would provide details of how the project could be fully developed after the conclusion of this phase of the project. 

  • The NHS Project faltered due to circumstances beyond my control and I found it difficult to maintain my work process/flow at times. Using the Trello boards more effectively will help to book mark my progress and assist in returning to the project, easier in future. I used the time between sprints to develop my Human9.com brand, logo and website content so that I could work on this when I couldn't engage with the client. This was an effective use of my time as I was able to look at potential studios and develop my CV/portfolio for future applications. 


I am focusing on my smart goals and consider how I can develop them in my next project. I am a little frustrated at the moment because I know the addition of these will greatly enhance my portfolio. I also need to stop going off topic when researching and give myself more limitations because it is no secret that I love research as it informs my concept development but my priority is to pick up the technical aspects of the work. I need to continue to develop my working process and stick with my professional approach to client handling.
