Weekly Report for Digitalics Innova, Week # 3

[Week # 2] Meetings: Monday & Tuesday

· SMART Team and Company Meetings:

· SMART Team Meeting with Client:

· Meeting Date: 11/09

· In the meeting with Client this week, we continue shared the research results of each of our parts to our client.

· In the week 2, me and Codi changed the research industries based on the CAC cost. From the meeting with the client last week, we found out that our client is looking for some research for the industries with higher CAC cost. Based on the newly selected industries, I searched about the top-rated trade shows for those industries, and I also presented the key factors which influences the furniture choice. Furthermore, I made the research for the top 10 online survey tools, and listed out each of their cost, features, pros and cons, so I could find the best fit tool for our project as a next step.

· SMART Team Meeting with the Mentor:

· Meeting date: 11/08 & 11/09

· Our team had a regular meeting on Monday to went through each of our part and show the teammates about our own research results. In our regular meeting with mentor, our mentor gives each members some advice to lead us to the right direction.

· For week 3, my main research was about the online survey tools. I took a look at the top 10 online survey tools, and found out each of their cost, features for the free version, pros and cons. This research helped me to understand each of their functions, and which tool will be the best fit for the badge scanning app. For the next step, I will compare some suitable tools, and make the final decision on which tool to use.

· SMART Team Meeting with Team members:

· Meeting date: 11/08 & 11/09

· Presented each of our part and listened to the advice from team member and mentor.

· In the meeting on 11/09, we discussed about our new job assignment for the next coming week with our mentor.

· From the meeting with client on week 3, we found out that the industries that we reselected was still not the best fit for out client. Me and Codi discussed about the final industry choice with our mentor based on the client need, and we came up with the following 5 industries: Hardware, Software, Furniture, Health & Beauty, and Business & Consulting. For the next step, we will come up with the 5 sub-categories for each of these industries and start to make the research of it.

Accomplishments/ Highlights: My accomplishment for week 3 was I was able to make the research for the Top 10 online survey tools and collected the information of them. When I presented my research results and explained each of their features, cost, pros, and cons to our client. Our client, David, thought my research was very interesting, and I was able to present the useful information to them.

Next week plan: Finalize the industry selection based on the client’s need and break down each of those industries with 5 sub-categories. Learn about the selected 25 sub-categories and make the research of the key factors for them to start to generate the survey questions. Select the most suitable online survey tool for this badge scanner app project.

Risk: It will be difficult to find some specific factors for some of the sub-categories because it is still too broad to generate the key factors for short surveys.

Challenges: It will be a big challenge to make the research and analyze the key factors for 25 sub-categories with the rest of 3 weeks. The time will be too tight, and I am afraid to finish the research for all of them.

Limitation: Time
