Since my last entry on the weekend of the 15th and 16th of June I have been working during the week to catch up with my project plan. The work has been focused mainly on research towards the investigation and market research section.
Leading up to this weekend I created an "Investigation and Market Research" document outline that contains the following sections.
01. Introduction
02. Origin of the idea
Where the idea came from
Overview of User Guardian
Investigation and Research ideas
03. The Problem Domain
Definitions
Typical Audit points
Current Review Process
The problem User Guardian needs to resolve
04. PESTLE Analysis
Introduction to PESTLE
Purpose of the Analysis
Results of the Analysis
Professional issues
Costs
Time to market
Implications of the tool
Risk and Impact assessments
05. Investigation Planning and Methods
Planning
Methods
Selected Methods
06. Market Research Planning and Methods
Planning

Selected methods
Software Review Form
07. Investigation Results
08. Market Research Results
09. Analysis
10. Conclusions
11. Business Case
This weekend I have completed the sections for the Introduction down to the problem domain and have updated the website in sections 2.1 - 2.3.
I am concerned with my current time management as my goal for the weekend was to complete all sections in this document. The issue has been the amount of research and reading required on the financial regulations and audit information.
Completed Tasks
Sections 2.1 - 2.3 completed.
Additional Tasks
To continue to regain ground against the project plan by working on the investigation document for at least an hour a night until Friday. The goal would be to complete sections 04.PESTLE Analysis through to 06. Market Research and Planning Methods
I will then split sections 08,09,10,11 into a 3.Analysis section of the website to complete over the weekend of the 13th and 14th July.
