<Client Meeting> 1.5hours We met the client for the first time. We already have a prototype, so we can explain our image well and we can talk deeply his requirements. This is good time for us to understand their idea and their business.
<Meeting Minutes> 1hour I created meeting minutes. We discussed a lot of topic, so I needed to take time to write down the meeting minutes.
<Documentation> 0.5hour I have to create document Journal, blog and individual project proposal. After updating this blog, I have to continue making documentation. However, I feel not good, so maybe I can do a little time.

<UML Usecase> 3hours We had reviewed our use cases for 2 hours. Actually, UML is a very good way to check our idea. First, our thinking are little different. But now we have a same image of the system, so today we progress well.
<ER Diagram> 1hour This task is also included to share templates image. I thought our member can understand my idea by themselves, because I created detailed templates. However, I knew it is not enough, so I started creating ER Diagram. It is not so difficult, because I already have an image. Therefore, I didn't need to spend such a lot of time.
<Making Presentation> 1hour We discuss about the structure of next presentation. After that, I created the draft presentation slide. This time, I want to need to prepare for the presentation. I really want to get good presentation skills.

<SQL Server> 3hours I installed SQL2008 DB Server to the Windows 2008 server. This server is not connected to the internet, so I have to update many times to install SQL. After installing SQL, I tried to connect to the LAN network, but I could not access from my PC. I searched internet, but I could not find the solution. Next week, I want to continue to the find the solution.
<UML Usecase> 3hours Today we discussed about UML diagram, because we divided tasks yesterday, however, we couldn't understand exactly individual task. After discussion, I started drawing diagram. Now I could write them smoothly.
<Template> 2hours Mostly, I explained how my templates will work. I thought team member can understand that to refer those templates, but they didn't get my idea. I found it is important to us to communicate with team member. And also, I want to improve my English skill.
<Meeting minutes> 0.5hour I write down meeting minutes. Recently we can communicate well, so our team became going well. We hope we can meet the client until coming Monday.

<UML Usecase> Today I had a job, so I didn't spend long time for the project. (My work is also going well.) I made UML Usecase Template and we divided tasks drawing UML diagram. My task is Login, Import & Export data and Status & Category management functions. I have some options for login functions. Therefore, I chose this function.
To do list

<Template> I converted HTML file to ASP.net. Actually, this convert needs time, because I consider how many master pages we needs and what parts we can reuse. First, we wanted to develop using PHP. However, client server is ASP.net, that's why I needed to convert Template. I changed these templates to ASP.net, but there is one problem, which is conflicts between ASP.net and jQuery. I really like jQuery, because it is very useful and easy to implement! I try to find solution.
<CRM Functions> I updated the function list, so our function list became well organized. Maybe we can start drawing UML diagram also. I always realized that it is difficult to imagine same system among team members. Especially, other members are first time to develop system. I think we need to discuss functions deeply. Then, we can create good system.

<Presentation> In the morning, we practiced a presentation for this afternoon. And we shoot the video of this presentation. Then, we reviewed our presentation. Now, I understood we need to prepare before hand and I have to get more phrases for attractive presentation. Teacher gave us some idea for how we can improve this presentation skill, which is I want to know, so this is the good time to get skills for presentation and improve my English. I will try to change my script next presentation. Now I'm looking forward to next week.
<CRM Functions> I modified function list to readable sentence. I wonder this function list format is correct or not. So I asked my teacher to check it. Most of them are no problem. He advised me that I tried to write more detail. Therefore, I will continue to write function list more detail. I think the most important thing is each member imagine same system. Today I feel our image is gradually closing. I hope we will meet client as soon as possible.

<Template> Today, I create add new client page. I use javascript and create invisible part. If user want to input extra information, this part will be shown. By the way, when I create these templates, if we want to develop flexible CRM application, they will need to create a lot of functions. Maybe we just understand about 30% or less. My templates has already some discrepancies, so we start to discuss about the solutions and think more deeply.
<Presentation> We prepared for the weekly presentation, and practiced ourselves. After that, we made a presentation to our supervisor. He gave us very useful advice and taught us how to prepare for the presentation. Actually, I am not good at making a presentation. But I got some idea from him, so I want to improve that skill during this semester. This is very good time to get presentation skill from him.
<Share folder> I create share folder for our team member, because we have already started some coding on individual PC. However, it is difficult for us to share data using pen drive. Therefore, I use the server to connect our PC to server, and we can use share folder. Now our works space become more efficient! One concern is a virus, which someone may bring us by mistake. Anyway we get creative with what one already has and enjoy this project.
