Week 4

Client meeting. 17 team members 1 client. Board-room was super nice, had the projector going with the agenda on the screen. Client was really nice, commented on us all wearing jackets and he wasn't, surely somebody should have commented that monash make us wear jackets, but i think MAITS were too proud and the rest of us a bit scared to talk at first most probably. MAITS were tending to take over the meeting, and Sarah (PM) was taking over from Raph (client liaison) , which i thought was interesting. I wonder if their team is struggling from the tyranny that is the MAITS governance structure.

We got a skype call in the boardroom, but luckily i had the mouse and was able to cancel the call after 2 rings, so there wasn't too much disruption. I didn't really have anything to say in the client meeting, so i didn't say anything, which i am happy with. I don't really like talking and meeting people all that much so I was content with that. I probably won't meet the client again for ages anyways, just leave it to the PMs and the CLs.

We decided what each team member was going to do for the Business Case document. That was ok. I got the recommendations section, which means i can't really do much until the others have finished with their sections.

I set up the media wiki on studentweb. Was a bit of a bitch to set up, but i think it's alright now, trying to adapt our group's processes so that we use it for storing and updating documents. Made a redirect so that the index of our studentweb redirects to the wiki. Changed a fair amount of the settings so that we could upload lots of file types and adjusting the feel of the main page. All of which make me happy because i am an avid wikipedia editor.

See you over easter
