Issues

1. Scheduling with different classes and projects has been difficult, but we have resolved these issues for the most part, and have found a time for most of the team to meet together. 
2. Differing views on the prototype, has been resolved by working together on the project as a team.

Week 2 Post

This week our team accomplished most of the Deliverable 1 SRS document, spending around 3 hours in a team meeting to do so.
The next week we will finish up Deliverable 1 as a team, we think it will take about 1-2 hours.
The only risks, challenges and issues our team faces so far is somewhat spotty team meeting attendance by some team members.

Tasks Accomplished:

Initial project chosen from list of project proposals - The group came together and picked the Study Group Finder as the project to work on. The Study Group Finder will be a web application that will help students K-12 form study groups, based on subjects they’re having trouble with.

Feature List -

Students

• The ability to create a profile, with a username, password, name, grade, location, email, list of teachers, availability, and list of subjects that help is needed with.
• An option to show matches with the students schedule, subjects, location, and grades, showing both individual students and groups that match the criteria.
• The ability to join groups and create new groups

Teachers:

• The ability to create a profile with a username, password, name, email address, and list of students
• The ability to facilitate groups for students

Groups

• A group will have a name, a list of students, a subject, a schedule, meeting location, a bulletin board, and a resource repository

Future Tasks:

- Recruit four users for next week - Each member of the team will look for 1 or 2 users to recruit - Start on deliverable 1 - The group will work on this together

Risks, Issues, and Challenges:

- Deciding on a final project to work on. We had not decided on an idea until late in the week, as there were pros and cons to each of the project proposals.

- Scheduling was difficult for the team as we were unable to find a time for the whole team to meet
