Project Manager: Let's move on to the project evaluation . Project process . Satisfaction with for example the room for creativity , leadership , teamwork , the means , any new ideas found . So I guess what we're gonna talk about here is just evaluating how we created this project , the information we got on the news , how we used it , if we were able to um , you know , use our creativity with the information , um how how well I guess I led it , um the how well we worked together as a team , um the digital pens , the whiteboard .
Marketing: Project Manager: Okay .
Industrial Designer: Well . I felt very creative . User Interface: I think we've been successful
Industrial Designer: I enjoyed making the prototypes .
User Interface: in that we've achieved almost all of the design goals that we've set Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: and we've come up with a finished project and we just about got cost .
Industrial Designer: I think we could've done even better with a little bit more information ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: like what's a single-curved case , how many colours , what do colours count
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: things , but given given what we had I think that we did we did really well . Um I think we worked together pretty well .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah , I mean if I'd had more market research on the fruits and vegetables , maybe we could've taken that into account .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: But the fruits and vegetables , they really my creativity , so .
Project Manager: Marketing: I know , I really did , the the whole mango idea was great .
Industrial Designer: Do you think we could User Interface: Marketing: No , I mean I thought the pen was a little distracting for me personally , like its heaviness , and like just being so conscious of like turning the pages , I dunno . That was a bit of a distraction .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: That was the last one , like I chose not to do a PowerPoint 'cause I didn't think it made sense to , so I liked that I had the option to do that and just to take my own notes and that whole sort of thing .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm . I think we all made um very significant contributions ,
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Project Manager: I don't think anybody dominated it , which I thought was really good , like each of us was able to um like each of you had your information and I uh I tried to facilitate it without like taking over , um Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: I like our little finished products .
Industrial Designer: Can we market this as the mango remote ?
Marketing: They're funny .
Project Manager: Really cute .
User Interface: Marketing: I kind of want one .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Should we have that somewhere on the packaging ? I have a little R_R_ .
Marketing: I'm trying to think of a good pun that I could add there .
Project Manager: I know ,
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: let's think of it like a little jingle .
Marketing: Project Manager: Um .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: I like the R_R_ , that's gonna be etched in .
Industrial Designer: Yes . Hopefully not with just my fingernail at some point but um it's quite a useful little gadget . All thanks to Iain for the design of that one .
Project Manager: . Okay um
Industrial Designer: Mm . What did we find for new ideas ?
Project Manager: new ideas found ?
Industrial Designer: People should really base their remotes on fruits and vegetables .
Project Manager: Definitely . Or or at least be c p creative enough to think of toggle switches mm
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: etcetera .
Industrial Designer: I I am really into the idea of kinetic batteries now after reading about them .
Project Manager: Oh , I'm so excited .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: That was Marketing: Yeah , I didn't even know they existed .
Industrial Designer: I I knew you can get watches that had them , like really quite expensive watches that just never need a battery , 'cause you're always moving your wrist .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: But in other things , I think it'd be really good .
Project Manager: I thi yeah , that's awesome . Um okay , closing . Are the costs within the budget ? Is the project evaluated ?
Industrial Designer: Yes .
Project Manager: Now there's the final questionnaire and meeting summary . Um so , this is the great product kids , I think we've created something really interesting and that we have a market for it , um especially if we can produce it at twelve point three
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: which we hope um yeah . Make sure in your questionnaire to put down criticisms of both the process and the um the final results and  .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Yeah , Real Reaction .
Project Manager: I do like the Martian remote .
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Project Manager: If we could choose more than one , that would be my second choice .
Marketing: Oh , that would definitely be my second choice .
Project Manager: Although the tog toggle
User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Project Manager: I'm afraid I would User Interface: That's cool . Let's all let's all go for the yellow  Marketing: I would break it . I would break it .
Project Manager: It's cool . I think I would break it .
Industrial Designer: It started because I wanted to have it as st as a stem
User Interface: Break the stem off .
Industrial Designer: and then  alright , so Marketing: Oh that's funny .
Industrial Designer:  Is it started as a pear , but then it started looking more and more like a Martian
Project Manager: Oh
Industrial Designer: when I put the User Interface: Marketing: Kind of looks like a penguin , like with no eye .
Industrial Designer: Take me to your leader . Project Manager: yeah , it's kind of a penguin .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: I like that it stands up .
Project Manager: Mm-mm .
Industrial Designer: Wow , maybe I should market it to some remote control company now .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: So are are  Project Manager: User Interface: That was bound to happen.$
Marketing: Oh , sad .
Industrial Designer: poor little thing . Project Manager: Mm 'kay , congratulations . Um . Anything else to say ?
Marketing: Nothing will come up until after our meeting's supposed to be over ,
Project Manager: Alright .
Marketing: its all timed .
Project Manager: Um anybody have  Industrial Designer: Oh .
Marketing: Oh . Project Manager: I got more master classes , anybody else wanna like take a master's class ?
Industrial Designer: It's really funny that you got spam in your work emails .
Marketing: User Interface: Project Manager: Yeah , but check it out . So like there are all these like links , they don't go anywhere .
Industrial Designer: Project Manager: But all that you need to keep in mind your knowledge management . Um just wanna make sure you do .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: User Interface: Marketing: Industrial Designer:  Marketing: No the first one that you sent like I didn't realise that it was a joke and I was like why did she send this to us ?
Project Manager: Oh Industrial Designer: Marketing: It's very it's very work relevant ,
Project Manager: It is .
Marketing: 'cause people send spam a lot .
Project Manager: Yes definitely Industrial Designer:  Let's see ,
Project Manager: I'm very sad that I didn't get any links to the corporate website . .
Marketing: Oh here you can you can view .
Industrial Designer: what did I get through the corporate website ? It's just inspiration about circuit boards .
Marketing: You can just see what's up .
Project Manager: Wow .
Marketing: Yeah it's it's really deep . Hold on . Takes a little while to get excited to load . That the Excel thing is pretty cool .
Project Manager: Yes .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , that is pretty neat .
Project Manager: I love Excel ,
Marketing: Here , like , basically
Project Manager: it's one of my favourite programs .
Marketing: it's like inspiration , basically I'm gonna give you two sentences on fashion and that kind of thing , see . You didn't miss out that much .
Project Manager: I see , mm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , my inspiration from from last time is the in interior of a remote control being taken apart bit by bit , talking about circuit boards .
Project Manager: Spongy .
Industrial Designer: I learned a lot actually .
User Interface: Mm .
Industrial Designer: I could probably take apart a remote control now if I really needed to .
Marketing: Oh wow . This one was cooler . I got a whole table and everything .
Industrial Designer: Now I have all about circuits and chips and transponders and I wrote it all down , because I thought it would be relevant , like all the different parts of the inside of a remote control , but then they're like , you don't actually need this you just need to talk about the case .
Marketing: That's like mine it was like , would you prefer an L_C_D_ screen or a multifunction remote control ? And then it didn't have like any kind of table , like awesome , I'm glad they asked that question and didn't report the result .
Project Manager: I I thought it was a little tricky having to hand around this thing .
Industrial Designer: It's really interesting though . Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: We had a lot of the um otherwise the technology today was kinda cool .
User Interface: I think . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: That was really neat how I got emails
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: and User Interface: We didn't we didn't use the whiteboard that much .
Project Manager: No .
Industrial Designer: No .
Project Manager: Although I don't see how we could have very l at least for me
User Interface: Industrial Designer: I yeah . If I'd gotten pictures of the different parts of the case , the different looks of the case , I would have probably drawn them up ,
Project Manager: Mm .
Industrial Designer: but Marketing: 'Cause we weren't like voting on anything and I think usually , like whiteboards are good , you know like crossing out ideas , or like if we had had like a brainstorming period .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , we could've put our brainstorming stuff up there rather than just talking about it ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: but with only four people it doesn't really make sense .
Marketing: But I thought we were good orally .
Project Manager: And with and with the PowerPoint that we can all look at , like you can do all those things pretty much on PowerPoint
Industrial Designer: I think if you had a larger group Marketing: Get crazy .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: as that's not as necessary to have .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: And these might've made us more willing to like take notes than to like write up them here ,
Project Manager: Mm .
Marketing: 'cause we all needed them separately , kind of on the whiteboards in this room .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Because we're all gonna be working in different places .
Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: We if we were all gonna stay in here all the time , then having the notes up on the whiteboard would've been alright ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: but everyone needs their own , like specific notes , I guess .
Project Manager: Now when you were um creating your um prototypes here , did you work together or did you like do separate projects ?
User Interface: Uh we we worked together ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: um but we were making like we sort of made different shapes and then discussed how the how the buttons might work ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: um and how we could like improve on the on the design .
Industrial Designer: So it was a bit of both really , we just kind of started out by each taking a colour of clay and just fooling around with it and I came up with that rhombus shape
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: and he came up with the sort of potatoey , mangoey shape , and then just went from there really .
Project Manager: Cool .
Industrial Designer: It was fun .  So well done with the management , I felt well managed .
Project Manager: Oh thanks .
User Interface: I think we did well in first of all giving our meetings the time ,
Project Manager: It's kinda fun .
User Interface: and second we actually we we did a good job of making firm decisions at the ends of the meetings .
Project Manager: Mm .
User Interface: And I  Marketing: Sorry . Industrial Designer: That happened to me all the time though .
User Interface: I know what happens sometimes is that you tend to sort of have meetings and then people sorta drift away without anything actually really being decided .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
User Interface: But I think here we got we got clear and and decisive decisive points at the end of the meetings , so that we we knew where to go on from there .
Industrial Designer: Yeah , I was quite worried at the end of the last meeting that we weren't getting we didn't really have enough information to make firm decisions ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: but we were able to do it regardless , so . I'm not usually a very decisive person , so it helped to have people say this needs to be done in five minutes .
Project Manager: This is what we'll do .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: I found that we did we could have used another five or ten minutes sometimes in the meetings .
Industrial Designer: Especially last time ,
User Interface: Yeah , for some of the meetings , yeah .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: yeah .
Project Manager: Yeah I think the last time we had a lot of information , but at the same time not quite enough ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah ,  Project Manager: you know what I mean ,
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: like we we couldn't answer every single question .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Um but Industrial Designer: Right . And I I felt the first two meetings , that I was coming in with no information ,
Project Manager: Mm .
Industrial Designer: and not sort of made me really like , ooh I don't know , throwing together PowerPoint out of no no information and then last time it was like the opposite . I had so much information and so much to talk about .
Project Manager: It was interesting what came out like later , like as I was doing the when I was doing the breakdown on the agenda that they gave me um , that more points came out from your presentation even .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Mm .
Project Manager: Um . I'm a little I am a little disappointed that we didn't do a um something for losing the remote , because that was kind of a big point .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . that was something like in order to talk about that we would've had to have actual knowledge about circuit boards and things like Project Manager: About yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Marketing: Well the problem was , even when we just were creating from the Excel file , there wasn't like a option to select to somehow have it included ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: so there was no we could be like yeah , it has it included .
Industrial Designer: I think we were Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: There was no way for us to have
Project Manager: Considered the re
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: written down that it was really there .
Project Manager: yeah .
Industrial Designer: I think we were just getting overenthusiastic with the task .
Project Manager: Well
Marketing: Project Manager: it's interesting that they Industrial Designer: I think we really got into it , I mean I got into it as the day went on and I got really like , ooh I'm designing a remote control , I dunno if that's just me ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm , yeah .
Industrial Designer: but Project Manager: It was interesting though that they put that fifty percent of people say they have frustration with losing their remote and yet they didn't provide us with information to um we weren't provided with information to discuss that .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah .
Project Manager: I know that like people people have like things they can put on their keys that you press it and it'll beep , but I but I'm sure that would require some kind of technology
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: that I just don't know what it is , but Industrial Designer: I think there are some of those like infomercial remotes that have things so you won't lose them .
Project Manager: Mm .
Industrial Designer: I dunno . I mean we were talking about it and like i in my household at least , there's only about two places that the remote is ever
Project Manager: Hmm .
Industrial Designer: 'cause there's only one T_V_ and there's only like three chairs .
Marketing: That's like saying you're never gonna lose your keys , and I always do , anyway . You'll lose 'em in your pocket ,
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Marketing: like you just will forget that or you like put it down somewhere that like made sense and then not remember ,
Project Manager: Mm .
Marketing: there's always ways to lose things .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: It d yeah , it depends on how organised you are personally , but Industrial Designer: Yeah , or like I guess what the setup of the house is too .
Project Manager: Mm-hmm .
Industrial Designer: But , I mean I am notorious for losing my keys ,
Project Manager:  Industrial Designer: I just I guess I've just never lost the remote . I put my keys in the refrigerator the other night and couldn't find them .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: 'Cause I was putting groceries away .
Marketing: That's funny .
Project Manager: Oh .
Industrial Designer: You you're taking stuff from a bag and putting them in the refrigerator and then go back to my room .
Project Manager: Can't get in . Industrial Designer: Can't get in , look all around the kitchen . Definitely in the vegetable drawer .
Project Manager: Marketing: That's funny .
Industrial Designer: So .
Marketing: I always do that , leaving it in my coat , and then like using a different coat .
Industrial Designer: Mm .
Project Manager: Yep .
Industrial Designer: But I guess it's 'cause we don't carry remotes around that much .
Marketing: Yeah . Can't really take it into the other room .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Maybe with our little robot one we could've had him have a robot , alien , pear , whatever he is , have a little voice like , I am located Marketing: Industrial Designer: Oh a G_P_S_ system , internal G_P_S_ .
Marketing: User Interface: Marketing: Oh man . Here you go .
Project Manager: We should make one that walks by itself . Industrial Designer: Although if it's sitting still for too long . Yes I User Interface: Marketing: That really could get up and walk away .
Project Manager: Or or like some crazy like electro-magnet , that you push it and it'll go zoom to the T_V_ and stick there . Industrial Designer:  Or little   Or just just a wheel , you know .
User Interface: Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Just if you  like you'd have a remote for your remote , that'll . User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Well , but if you could attach them to the T_V_ , then you can .
Industrial Designer: zoom Yeah . Hmm . All kinds of possibilities .
Project Manager: Mm . Okay . Sorry , I'm just um trying to update my minutes . I decided to you know how I sent you the email saying that PowerPoint minutes will be complimentary , rather than like repeating them .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Just gonna make I'm making full minutes , so that it'll include all of the agenda and all that .
Industrial Designer: Oh .
Project Manager: 'Cause that seems a little more useful .
Industrial Designer: Wow . 'Cause you've had like the most typing and organising to do .
Project Manager: But I didn't have like information to sloth through either , so Industrial Designer: Yeah , I guess How much of your PowerPoint was already done for you , every meeting .
Project Manager: Most of it , mm-hmm . I added slides , um I added a couple slides each time ,
Industrial Designer: Oh .
Project Manager: but that was about it .
Industrial Designer: Okay . Yeah , I didn't even think about adding slides , 'cause I would just get slides with titles on them
Project Manager: Mm .
Industrial Designer: and fill them all in w didn't even think about adding more .
Project Manager: Well , the thing was they would provide y an agenda with s like several points , but it wouldn't have a slide for each point . And that's the only way I remember that I need to go other that point .
Industrial Designer: Ah yeah. .
Project Manager: I know personally when I do PowerPoint , that's what I do and so I had it once , even if it was just like the title of it , like the three presentations , and I would do your three .
Industrial Designer: Right .
Marketing: You have you have to have the slogan on it or can it just be like Project Manager: The slogan on it ?
Industrial Designer: No , no , definitely not .
Project Manager: No no no .
Marketing: Okay good .
Industrial Designer: We  Marketing: 'Cause I was like , it could go around the outside . Industrial Designer: No , I don't think we need to User Interface: Project Manager: I think we just need the um the R_R_ ,
Industrial Designer: I think the R_ and R_ , especially if the yellow and black one .
Project Manager: yeah .
Marketing: Is it yellow and blue ?
Industrial Designer: Or yellow and blue . Lemme go to the web page .
Project Manager: Yeah , I was just kinda going by the web page , 'cause they didn't give me any clear , like yellow , grey , or .
Marketing: Oh I guess it is black , grey . Grey is better than black , doesn't look so bumblebeeish .
Project Manager: I don't really like yellow in general .
Marketing: Hey now I understand the random like newsclippings .
Project Manager: But it Industrial Designer: Finish meeting now . Marketing: Project Manager: Wasn't it interesting that um I thought it was interesting that our market marketing um expert did not agree with the marketing um
Marketing: Yes .
Project Manager: the marketing choices ,
Industrial Designer: User Interface: Project Manager: you know , like
Industrial Designer: Marketing: I will
Project Manager: that was a bit of a conflict .
Marketing: I just feel like if you're really doing like a a really big market evaluation , you wouldn't just have like one set of source ,
Industrial Designer: Marketing: it's kind of an they were so not backed up , it would just be a sentence like we did a survey , this is what people said .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: S mm , I dunno .
Project Manager: People are stupid .
Industrial Designer: I guess it i it sort of a grey , isn't it ? Yellow and grey , but then the slogan's in blue .
Marketing: Well we got some grey and we got some blue buttons , we're good .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Well we don't have the right colour clay anyway .
Project Manager: Maybe , like I don't know . That could always be .
Industrial Designer: Well we're not , sadly , going to actually be producing this , so .
Project Manager: Oh .
Marketing: If they ever come out with potato Industrial Designer: Potato mango shaped remotes .
Marketing: I'm gonna have to Project Manager: I'm claiming it intellectual property .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: I can't believe a whole day is gone . I don't feel like it's been that long .
Marketing: I know .
Industrial Designer: Get sucked in . Mm I haven't gotten questionnaire eight yet .
