Accomplished Last Week

We made significant progress during the week, and advanced our current status with the project.

• Added Delete button to Entities that removes instance from diagram.
• Restructured our classes to use Inheritance from root Node.
• Updated our Gantt Chart to display our weekly presentations from Friday to Friday.
• Highlight our relationship model and break down the specific components necessary.
• Fixed a bug where our cursor was overriding the resize cursors in the Resize Controller.
• Entity selection, and multiple selections, which will be used in relationship operations.

Problems Encountered & Solutions

A bug with our resizing occurs when a user attempts to resize the top-most boundary.

• Non-essential bug, but a basic functionality that shouldn’t be ignored.

A number of our next necessary progress points rely on having our connectors finished.

• Requires communicating tasks effectively, and completing them timely.

Presenting early has us a bit pressured to present what we have currently, but we still have several days to finish the week’s proposed materials. Namely, the connectors, which are currently in progress.

Second half of the week was fraught with due dates and interruptions.

Tasks for the week unevenly dispersed between group members.

Team Progress: Alignment with Gantt Chart

Week 5 has had both a substantial amount of progress gained in a short amount of time, while also having our Gantt Chart refined to more accurately represent our predicted track as we move to finish the project. The chart now highlights our progress as previously completed, and how this progress will need to continue for us to finish in a timely fashion. We appear to have returned to being on-track, if not somewhat ahead for this week. Though, we will need to make the transition to Diagram elements (SQL translator, converter, and documentation) seamlessly. We will need to discuss how well we can adhere to our plans over Spring Break.

Team Contributions

This week’s progress was less distributed than the prior week, with tasks being voluntarily taken, and not evenly distributed. Meetings were difficult, and getting all four people together was not achieved due to schedule complications.

Plan for Upcoming Week

The week has had significant progress, though at some particularly stressful circumstances. Having begun the diagram classes necessary to handle the database features, we have a strong point to move forward with. Ensuring our regular meetings will be important to ensuring progress through weeks six and seven. These should keep us on track to handle said database operations, and allow us to more evenly distribute these tasks.
