Unfortunately there were some difficulties that were faced while our team was working on the project. The collection below will list the issues which were faced our research project was conducted.
1. Project Direction
The project direction changed in scope several times. We saw this cause a slight delay in the beginning of the project as well as the originally project timeline. The delay did not cause any issue with the full delivery of the project.
2. New Platform Learning Curve
As Kennesaw State has recently adapted using Microsoft Teams across the university there were several learning curves which needed to be overcome. The new platform proved to be effective for the collaborative effort not just for our team but to also facilitate meetings. Further problem which was seen as a result was difficulty in recording of meetings. One meeting saw a critical failure which result in the termination of the recording only a few seconds in. Despite the recording issues we were able to facilitate successful enough meeting to obtain the necessary information needed for the project.
3. Covid-19 (Novel Corona Virus)
This issue really affected everyone and not specifically our project but needs to be included. As all of our team members are working full time we were forced along with the Technical Outreach Team Members to quickly transition to be able to work from home effectively. TO team was tasked with switching all students to an online platform in addition to their move to work from home. The always at home offered unexpected challenges as well as families are forced to share the confines of their homes with not much ability to spread out.
