Extracted Content: Ann Flynn: Okay. Here we go. Alright, the agenda thi oh. Alright. Um the agenda for this meeting is um we'll initially have the prototype presentation by our two designers. And then we will evaluate it, given the criteria that um that we gave gave it. And um talk about our finances, whether we were under or over our budget. I have a um a spreadsheet where we can calculate um our prices for every aspect of of what we've made, given our options. And um product, as a group
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: And um So first we'll have the prototype presentation. Do you need the um PowerPoint for
  Elizabeth Torres: Um
  Ann Flynn: this?
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah. I just got a few,
  Ann Flynn: Alright.
  Elizabeth Torres: show them. Thank you.
  Elizabeth Torres: Do you want to present it?
  Christine Day: Um
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah, here we are.
  Christine Day: This is what we came up with. It's a pretty simple design. It's um based on a mango? Yeah. And
  Ann Flynn: On?
  Elizabeth Torres: Mango
  Christine Day: we
  Ann Flynn: A
  Elizabeth Torres: shape.
  Ann Flynn: mango. Okay.
  Christine Day: Yeah. And we have the company logo here and this will be the infrared
  Elizabeth Torres: The
  Christine Day: here
  Elizabeth Torres: L_E_D_.
  Christine Day: and this'll be the power point, the on off button
  Ann Flynn: Oh. Okay.
  Christine Day: kind yeah.
  Shena Alexander: I'm sorry. What was the where's
  Ann Flynn: Oops.
  Shena Alexander: the L_E_D_?
  Christine Day: It's in the middle of one of the little R_s.
  Shena Alexander: Oh. Okay.
  Christine Day: And then the other one is the power. And uh we just have a simple design. We wanted it all to be
  Elizabeth Torres: So it's palm-held.
  Christine Day: thumb yeah palm-held
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: and
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: all the buttons are accessible from your thumb.
  Ann Flynn: Notice
  Christine Day: So
  Ann Flynn: you have
  Christine Day: you
  Ann Flynn: a number
  Christine Day: don't have
  Ann Flynn: ten
  Christine Day: to
  Ann Flynn: button.
  Christine Day: Oh that was a mistake, wasn't it? Right
  Elizabeth Torres: You
  Christine Day: no,
  Elizabeth Torres: just need the
  Christine Day: that's
  Elizabeth Torres: nought.
  Christine Day: a zero. Take that one off.
  Ann Flynn: Okay.
  Christine Day: Sorry. I was in charge of the numbers.
  Ann Flynn: No problem. Ah.
  Christine Day: And this is just if you've got like eleven or twelve or thirt the plus.
  Elizabeth Torres: So one plus
  Christine Day: You can
  Elizabeth Torres: one
  Christine Day: go
  Elizabeth Torres: would be
  Christine Day: one,
  Elizabeth Torres: eleven, or
  Christine Day: three or something.
  Ann Flynn: Oh.
  Christine Day: You
  Ann Flynn: You
  Christine Day: press
  Ann Flynn: press
  Christine Day: that
  Ann Flynn: a plus
  Christine Day: first
  Ann Flynn: button?
  Christine Day: and then you go one three yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Oh okay. I've never heard of that kind before.
  Christine Day: Well we just thought, we have all the numbers here, so we wanted something representative of numbers larger than ten and
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: because if you on your average um remote, if you press one twice you just go to or uh say you wanted channel twelve, you
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: one, and go to one then two you'd go to, instead of
  Shena Alexander: Oh,
  Elizabeth Torres: twelve
  Shena Alexander: there's no e okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: So if you did
  Christine Day: So
  Ann Flynn: Oh.
  Elizabeth Torres: like
  Christine Day: the plus
  Elizabeth Torres: one plus
  Christine Day: and
  Elizabeth Torres: two
  Christine Day: then yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: you could go to channel
  Ann Flynn: I
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: twelve, or two plus
  Ann Flynn: But
  Elizabeth Torres: two is channel twenty
  Ann Flynn: Would
  Elizabeth Torres: two.
  Ann Flynn: you have to go zero plus one if you wanted to go to channel one or two?
  Christine Day: No no, th all that's why we have all these numbers. These numbers um these numbers all work independently up to nine.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah but I mean if you press, it'll go to that channel right away.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: 'Cause you gotta press the plus afterwards.
  Christine Day: Oh no. Uh, the plus is only for if you're going past the number nine.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah I know, but if if I wanna go to say number
  Shena Alexander: Sixty.
  Ann Flynn: like sixty five, channel sixty five, if
  Christine Day: You
  Ann Flynn: I press
  Christine Day: p
  Ann Flynn: the six it'll go to channel six, and then I'll
  Christine Day: Oh.
  Ann Flynn: press the plus, and then it'll go to six and then put the five and it'll go to
  Christine Day: No
  Ann Flynn: sixty
  Christine Day: you press
  Ann Flynn: five?
  Christine Day: the plus first. I
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh.
  Christine Day: I well it doesn't we haven't really s I would've thought you pressed the plus first and then the six five, but she says plus press
  Elizabeth Torres: Well I don't
  Christine Day: which
  Elizabeth Torres: mind, we
  Christine Day: what
  Elizabeth Torres: can
  Christine Day: do you
  Elizabeth Torres: further
  Christine Day: think
  Elizabeth Torres: define
  Christine Day: is
  Elizabeth Torres: that.
  Ann Flynn: I
  Christine Day: simpler?
  Ann Flynn: th
  Christine Day: It's
  Ann Flynn: Um
  Christine Day: a
  Elizabeth Torres: I wouldn't have thought it'd be a problem that it went to channel six first,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: in like on the way to channel sixty five.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah it wouldn't be a problem.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: But
  Elizabeth Torres: But I suppose
  Ann Flynn: I was just
  Elizabeth Torres: it's
  Ann Flynn: wondering
  Elizabeth Torres: not as
  Ann Flynn: like as
  Shena Alexander: Well
  Elizabeth Torres: snappy.
  Shena Alexander: the
  Ann Flynn: long as we realise
  Shena Alexander: there is
  Ann Flynn: that's
  Shena Alexander: a
  Ann Flynn: what it'll do.
  Shena Alexander: there's a
  Christine Day: Oops.
  Shena Alexander: delay on remotes I think. Where you
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: can have it
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: it's like a five second input
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: time.
  Elizabeth Torres: If
  Shena Alexander: So
  Elizabeth Torres: you don't
  Shena Alexander: as long
  Elizabeth Torres: put
  Shena Alexander: as you
  Elizabeth Torres: it
  Shena Alexander: hit them dada
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah, that yeah.
  Shena Alexander: it should be fine.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: As long as there's not a big pause between the t hitting the two buttons.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Day: Yeah. So
  Elizabeth Torres: Um
  Shena Alexander: Was there so on the top there is volume and
  Elizabeth Torres: And channel,
  Christine Day: A channel.
  Elizabeth Torres: which
  Shena Alexander: Channel
  Elizabeth Torres: is so
  Shena Alexander: up volume up. Okay cool.
  Elizabeth Torres: you could just
  Ann Flynn: C_
  Christine Day: Just
  Ann Flynn: and
  Christine Day: so
  Ann Flynn: V_.
  Elizabeth Torres: go
  Christine Day: we
  Elizabeth Torres: like
  Christine Day: can
  Elizabeth Torres: that
  Christine Day: flick
  Elizabeth Torres: without thinking about it,
  Ann Flynn: Right,
  Elizabeth Torres: like
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: where um where's the power button?
  Christine Day: It's in the middle
  Elizabeth Torres: It's
  Shena Alexander: It's
  Christine Day: of
  Shena Alexander: the
  Christine Day: one
  Shena Alexander: R_.
  Christine Day: of
  Elizabeth Torres: the
  Christine Day: the
  Elizabeth Torres: bigger
  Christine Day: little
  Elizabeth Torres: R_.
  Christine Day: R_s.
  Ann Flynn: Oh okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: So it's just like.
  Christine Day: Yeah, so
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: it's
  Elizabeth Torres: We
  Christine Day: all
  Elizabeth Torres: deci
  Christine Day: accessible. Without m taking your hand off the remote.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: um we went for like a a circular design for the numbers because we thought that's kind of a more natural movement than just going like that with your thumb.
  Ann Flynn: Oh okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Uh e
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: ergonomics
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: are all considered.
  Christine Day: And
  Ann Flynn: Ergonomic,
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: definitely ergonomic.
  Christine Day: it might actually help with the repetitive stress injury
  Elizabeth Torres: It could cause
  Christine Day: as
  Elizabeth Torres: another
  Christine Day: well.
  Elizabeth Torres: type of
  Christine Day: Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: repetitive stress injury though. But yeah, no I mean it's a different movement so
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah. Um and the feel of it, I mean, we've made this out of Play Doh, which is representing the, you know,
  Ann Flynn: The
  Elizabeth Torres: the
  Ann Flynn: spon
  Elizabeth Torres: rubber,
  Ann Flynn: yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: and the spongy rubberness. Um 'cause it was said before in the material specification that this the this anti-R_S_I_ um material is often used in stress balls so this has got a you know a bit of give to it,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: and it just
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. Bit of a stress
  Elizabeth Torres: feels
  Ann Flynn: ball feel.
  Elizabeth Torres: feels
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: different. Would you like to feel it yourselves?
  Ann Flynn: Yes.
  Elizabeth Torres: How it fits
  Ann Flynn: I
  Elizabeth Torres: in
  Ann Flynn: would.
  Elizabeth Torres: the palm of your hand?
  Ann Flynn: My goodness. There you go.
  Elizabeth Torres: Thanks. And you?
  Shena Alexander: Yes.
  Ann Flynn: Genevieve? Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Oh it's nice. Oh I think I killed the five. I did. I killed
  Ann Flynn: And
  Shena Alexander: the
  Ann Flynn: something
  Shena Alexander: four.
  Ann Flynn: hmm.
  Shena Alexander: Oh god.
  Elizabeth Torres: O Okay, as for the colours, we were presented with um a limited range
  Shena Alexander: Oh it smells
  Christine Day: Of
  Elizabeth Torres: of
  Shena Alexander: good.
  Elizabeth Torres: colours for
  Christine Day: Play
  Elizabeth Torres: this
  Christine Day: Doh
  Elizabeth Torres: prototype.
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: But we're thinking that, seeing as we're having it in interchangeable casing anyway, that this is not necessarily a representation of the true colours that we would necessarily use. Or the combination. Um and we're thinking to carry-on with the fruit and vegetable theme, the colour um combination just could just be named after different fruit, like
  Ann Flynn: Oh
  Elizabeth Torres: banana
  Ann Flynn: right.
  Elizabeth Torres: could be black and yellow, watermelon red and green, or vanilla might be the most popular if it just uh
  Christine Day: 'Cause it'd
  Elizabeth Torres: blends
  Christine Day: be quite
  Elizabeth Torres: in
  Christine Day: subtle and
  Elizabeth Torres: more settled cream
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: instead of the
  Ann Flynn: It
  Elizabeth Torres: others
  Ann Flynn: looks
  Elizabeth Torres: are
  Ann Flynn: more
  Elizabeth Torres: all a bit garish.
  Ann Flynn: Think like vanilla and banana would.
  Elizabeth Torres: Banana's more representative of our colour scheme, like the company the yellow and black.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Okay yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: So that for corporate identity that would probably be the most strength. I mean watermelon, you know, m probably appealing
  Ann Flynn: Kinda
  Elizabeth Torres: to
  Ann Flynn: Christmas,
  Elizabeth Torres: the
  Ann Flynn: you know.
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah,
  Christine Day: Yeah,
  Elizabeth Torres: seasonal.
  Christine Day: yeah, yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Apple green, brown, more kinda trendy, you know, khaki
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: The pomegranate's kinda girly and funky kind of, and
  Ann Flynn: Cool.
  Christine Day: then the vanilla's more for the more sophisticated customer who just
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: wants something that fits in with all decor.
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay. Um yeah we thought of the components it was definitely um a focus of ergonomics and just a single ha handheld device, I mean you don't need to use both hands, one hand to hold this and type in with the other, you can just use your thumb.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Um, as we said the rubber's probably used for comfort and anti-R_S_I_ and that's about it.
  Ann Flynn: Alright, thank you very much. Good work everyone.
  Shena Alexander: Bravo
  Ann Flynn: Alright. And so now that we've we have a prototype, uh we need to go over the finances and seeing if this prototype matches uh what our budget can handle.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Flynn: So, I have something I'm going to
  Shena Alexander: You want the
  Ann Flynn: Oh wait a minute. Do you need to do a presentation first?
  Shena Alexander: I don't know what order it goes in.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. I'm
  Shena Alexander: I have
  Ann Flynn: gonna
  Shena Alexander: one.
  Ann Flynn: check that out for a second.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm go
  Ann Flynn: What time is it anyw Oh yeah sorry you're right.
  Shena Alexander: Evaluation
  Ann Flynn: Evaluation
  Shena Alexander: cri Okay.
  Ann Flynn: criteria is
  Shena Alexander: That's
  Ann Flynn: next
  Shena Alexander: Shena Alexander.
  Ann Flynn: in line. Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Hello. Oh there we go.
  Shena Alexander: Okay. Come on my computer. Come on. Sorry my computer's giving Shena Alexander technical difficulties.
  Ann Flynn: Just press
  Shena Alexander: Should
  Ann Flynn: um
  Shena Alexander: I press
  Ann Flynn: function
  Shena Alexander: it again?
  Ann Flynn: eight again.
  Shena Alexander: Last time I did that it sh Okay. You're right.
  Ann Flynn: And then again I think. One more time.
  Shena Alexander: Oh. Still not there.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay now I think for this one I could Would you guys prefer use the whiteboard or mayb maybe I'll just do it on right on the screen where you can see it. Um, we're gonna be doing an evaluation report together based on the protoptype that we've just seen. Um and looking looking back at my notes from our both our conceptual and our functional meetings, um I made a list of what our original requirements and goals were, um, back to our kick-off meeting this morning. Um, and we'll evaluate as to whether we've s done what we set out to do. Um and we're gonna do it on a one to seven scale where one is true and seven is false. So basically the lower p the lower the points the better. Okay so question number one. Does the remote whoops. Sorry. Oh I'm not gonna be able um, I'll do it on the whiteboard. I can't change it so I'm g I'm gonna ask you to push it down once.
  Ann Flynn: Okay.
  Shena Alexander: I'll write down our scores up on the
  Ann Flynn: Ooh.
  Shena Alexander: Okay so number one. Do we have a fancy look-and-feel?
  Christine Day: Mm.
  Elizabeth Torres: Feel I think. We've been quite successful with the
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: rubber coating and
  Ann Flynn: The
  Christine Day: Well
  Ann Flynn: look is a little bit more playful.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah I guess that depends on your definition of fancy, but it's definitely different. It's not
  Ann Flynn: Oh definitely
  Shena Alexander: your traditional
  Ann Flynn: different yeah.
  Shena Alexander: yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: I think the colour has a lot to do with it. I mean
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: th the colours we were given for making the prototype aren't the colours that I think we would've necessarily
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: chosen. It's not the kind of ooh uh
  Ann Flynn: Oh you were
  Elizabeth Torres: at
  Ann Flynn: only
  Elizabeth Torres: all
  Ann Flynn: given red
  Elizabeth Torres: sleek
  Ann Flynn: and black?
  Elizabeth Torres: red, black and yellow, and orange.
  Ann Flynn: Oh okay.
  Christine Day: Yeah so not
  Elizabeth Torres: Um
  Christine Day: very sleek and we don't wanna go for black because most remote controls
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: are black or grey. So we want it
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: to be stand out that way, anyway.
  Elizabeth Torres: But if
  Ann Flynn: Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: you can imagine that in like a s just a maybe uh a kind of pale metallic-y
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: finish or something
  Christine Day: A metallic-y
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Day: finish we were thinking.
  Elizabeth Torres: Well I
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: know know it's for rubber.
  Christine Day: Polished.
  Elizabeth Torres: I mean diff if
  Christine Day: Okay
  Elizabeth Torres: you can visualise this in nice colours I think it would look quite
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: fancy.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: I kinda I like the potato look.
  Ann Flynn: It's
  Shena Alexander: It's
  Ann Flynn: mango.
  Shena Alexander: very different.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh
  Christine Day: We
  Elizabeth Torres: well, potato,
  Christine Day: we
  Elizabeth Torres: mango,
  Christine Day: were
  Shena Alexander: It's what?
  Elizabeth Torres: fruit and veg.
  Ann Flynn: It's mango.
  Shena Alexander: Oh sorry the mango the mango look.
  Christine Day: we were thinking
  Elizabeth Torres: Potato's
  Christine Day: about
  Shena Alexander: Yeah
  Elizabeth Torres: fine.
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Shena Alexander: it
  Elizabeth Torres: Potato's
  Shena Alexander: is, fruit
  Elizabeth Torres: fine.
  Shena Alexander: or vegetable depends on your mood.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah. Totally. It's
  Shena Alexander: So
  Elizabeth Torres: really
  Shena Alexander: I myself
  Elizabeth Torres: adaptable.
  Shena Alexander: would say a one or a two.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. I would say two. Personally.
  Christine Day: I
  Shena Alexander: It's a two?
  Christine Day: w I'd say two I think.
  Shena Alexander: Okay,
  Elizabeth Torres: For the
  Shena Alexander: and p
  Christine Day: Fanciness.
  Elizabeth Torres: fancy
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: One being true. So
  Elizabeth Torres: I uh two,
  Shena Alexander: Two.
  Elizabeth Torres: three.
  Shena Alexander: Okay,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: actu that's pro that's gonna get confusing, like that. Okay so question number two was is it techn technologically innovative? So I know we have the kinetic energy which is very innovative.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah and the use of the rubber.
  Shena Alexander: Use of the rubber,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: For the
  Shena Alexander: the use
  Elizabeth Torres: anti-R_S_I_.
  Shena Alexander: of the L_E_D_.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: The L_E_D_ use isn't
  Shena Alexander: Isn't
  Elizabeth Torres: particularly innovative
  Christine Day: Mm.
  Elizabeth Torres: and we don't have any scroll buttons, it's all pushbuttons, there's no L_C_D_ control, so if we're thinking about the rest
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: of the market,
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: it's sort of probably halfway. In some aspects it is,
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. I'd
  Elizabeth Torres: like
  Ann Flynn: say maybe
  Elizabeth Torres: we said.
  Ann Flynn: three.
  Christine Day: I'll go for
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: three as well.
  Shena Alexander: And I think I mean it it's tough to say because we were we didn't want it to be any more innovative than this, because then that
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: No.
  Shena Alexander: would've
  Ann Flynn: Yeah
  Elizabeth Torres: Though
  Ann Flynn: we
  Elizabeth Torres: it
  Ann Flynn: want
  Elizabeth Torres: was
  Ann Flynn: it
  Elizabeth Torres: our
  Ann Flynn: simple.
  Elizabeth Torres: specification.
  Shena Alexander: defeated the
  Christine Day: Wouldn't
  Shena Alexander: purpose.
  Christine Day: be simple,
  Shena Alexander: So
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Shena Alexander: I mean I we'll put three, but I think we actually reached our goal.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: We didn't want it any more than that. Okay question number three. Uh, will it be easy to use?
  Ann Flynn: I think so.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: very.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: I
  Shena Alexander: S
  Christine Day: think one
  Shena Alexander: Yeah I think
  Christine Day: for
  Shena Alexander: it's
  Christine Day: that.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: One.
  Shena Alexander: you can't
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: really get confused with that.
  Christine Day: No.
  Shena Alexander: I mean,
  Ann Flynn: Th
  Shena Alexander: there'll be s we have to work out the uh number
  Ann Flynn: The plus
  Shena Alexander: the
  Ann Flynn: number
  Shena Alexander: plus
  Ann Flynn: thing.
  Shena Alexander: system.
  Christine Day: Yeah that's
  Shena Alexander: But once that's
  Christine Day: the
  Shena Alexander: figured
  Christine Day: only
  Shena Alexander: out,
  Christine Day: thing
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Shena Alexander: it
  Elizabeth Torres: and
  Shena Alexander: should
  Elizabeth Torres: perhaps
  Shena Alexander: be fine.
  Elizabeth Torres: the turning on but
  Shena Alexander: Number four. Is this a good-looking remote?
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: Remember that seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly.
  Elizabeth Torres: Again
  Christine Day: It's
  Elizabeth Torres: I
  Christine Day: definitely
  Elizabeth Torres: think the colour comes into this.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah colour will definitely be a factor.
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Flynn: I think that the logo could be smaller.
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: And maybe not such a prominent way.
  Christine Day: But
  Ann Flynn: Maybe
  Christine Day: the
  Ann Flynn: like at the bottom, kind of.
  Christine Day: Remember
  Elizabeth Torres: Not
  Christine Day: the
  Elizabeth Torres: in
  Christine Day: management said that it it had to be prominent.
  Shena Alexander: Whoops.
  Ann Flynn: Oh it just had to be on there I guess.
  Shena Alexander: Should
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: just not touch it.
  Elizabeth Torres: Don't worry.
  Shena Alexander: This time it's the three I killed. I was just wondering if it should be like flatter. Or
  Elizabeth Torres: I suppose I've got quite big
  Ann Flynn: I
  Elizabeth Torres: hands.
  Ann Flynn: like
  Shena Alexander: Well
  Ann Flynn: the appeal of it being like a big glob in your
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: hand.
  Christine Day: But you know what I've just thought of there now. What where's it gonna sit in your living room? Is it not gonna fall off the arm
  Ann Flynn: Maybe
  Christine Day: of the
  Ann Flynn: if the bottom
  Christine Day: sofa?
  Ann Flynn: was just sort of flat,
  Shena Alexander: Yeah the bottom
  Ann Flynn: and then
  Shena Alexander: could
  Ann Flynn: the
  Shena Alexander: be
  Ann Flynn: rest
  Shena Alexander: like
  Ann Flynn: is
  Shena Alexander: ch
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: like
  Shena Alexander: chopped a bit.
  Christine Day: But then it
  Ann Flynn: round.
  Christine Day: wouldn't sit as comfortably in your hand.
  Shena Alexander: Oh. That's true.
  Ann Flynn: It would still be comfortable I think.
  Elizabeth Torres: Thing is like
  Ann Flynn: We
  Shena Alexander: Maybe,
  Elizabeth Torres: that,
  Ann Flynn: c
  Shena Alexander: it
  Elizabeth Torres: it's
  Ann Flynn: we
  Elizabeth Torres: not
  Shena Alexander: could
  Ann Flynn: could handle
  Elizabeth Torres: going anywhere
  Ann Flynn: it I think.
  Shena Alexander: it
  Elizabeth Torres: particularly.
  Shena Alexander: could be on
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: the bottom, so you wouldn't loo like if it's flat here, so it sits up.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Like that.
  Christine Day: Oh that would be nice.
  Ann Flynn: Ah it'd fall over all the time though. It'd be annoying.
  Elizabeth Torres: Uh yeah, it's less
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: I g
  Elizabeth Torres: um, what's
  Shena Alexander: If it's
  Elizabeth Torres: th
  Shena Alexander: weighted
  Elizabeth Torres: ha.
  Shena Alexander: maybe.
  Elizabeth Torres: H it's got
  Shena Alexander: Details,
  Elizabeth Torres: higher centre
  Shena Alexander: details.
  Elizabeth Torres: of gravity
  Ann Flynn: 'Kay we're done designing.
  Elizabeth Torres: like that.
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: Come on.
  Shena Alexander: So, is this a good-looking remote? Would we wanna show it off
  Christine Day: Three.
  Shena Alexander: to our friends?
  Christine Day: You would though, 'cause it's bit it's more interesting than other
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: remotes.
  Ann Flynn: I think, it was another colour and it was like I think it'd look okay. I think maybe
  Shena Alexander: Yeah?
  Ann Flynn: a two.
  Shena Alexander: I mean I gue
  Elizabeth Torres: I
  Shena Alexander: yeah,
  Elizabeth Torres: would
  Shena Alexander: it's personal
  Elizabeth Torres: definitely
  Shena Alexander: taste,
  Elizabeth Torres: go for
  Shena Alexander: but
  Elizabeth Torres: that rather than like your average plain
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: old remote like that, but definitely in another colour, I'm not happy with those colours.
  Shena Alexander: Okay, so should we say two for that?
  Ann Flynn: Sure.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay. Uh, question number five. What's um will people be willing to spend twenty five Euros on this product? Remember that eighty percent of users were willing to spend more money when a remote control looked fancy.
  Christine Day: I think we have to market it in the right way, that
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Day: um
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: to say that it is simplistic. So people don't just see it and think, uh, this is so simplistic, I don't want
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: to spend twenty five Euros. We have to market
  Shena Alexander: Yeah
  Christine Day: it.
  Shena Alexander: it
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: the marketing will have a lot to
  Elizabeth Torres: And
  Shena Alexander: do with it.
  Christine Day: And the kinetic
  Elizabeth Torres: the
  Christine Day: energy part.
  Elizabeth Torres: kinetic
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: energy, shaker-style-y,
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: whoo, ooh no.
  Shena Alexander: Shake it and
  Ann Flynn: Durable.
  Shena Alexander: the buttons fall off.
  Christine Day: Don't shake
  Elizabeth Torres: But you know, those'll be firmly on.
  Christine Day: Oh no the plus. You're
  Shena Alexander: No, I guess,
  Christine Day: use
  Shena Alexander: I don't
  Christine Day: the
  Shena Alexander: know much
  Christine Day: zero.
  Shena Alexander: about the remote control industry,
  Christine Day: Make
  Shena Alexander: how much
  Christine Day: a new
  Shena Alexander: your
  Christine Day: one.
  Shena Alexander: average sells for,
  Ann Flynn: But you're our Marketing
  Shena Alexander: but
  Ann Flynn: Expert.
  Shena Alexander: I know I am, aren't
  Christine Day: I
  Shena Alexander: I?
  Christine Day: think they're about ten po ten pound, aren't they? About ten pounds. Fifteen?
  Shena Alexander: don't have to buy batteries. So in the long term this can actually
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm,
  Shena Alexander: save you
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah,
  Shena Alexander: money.
  Ann Flynn: Oh.
  Elizabeth Torres: that's
  Shena Alexander: So we'll market
  Elizabeth Torres: true.
  Shena Alexander: it that
  Ann Flynn: Exactly.
  Shena Alexander: way too.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Exactly.
  Shena Alexander: So yeah
  Elizabeth Torres: Good
  Shena Alexander: I think
  Elizabeth Torres: point.
  Shena Alexander: with a good marketing scheme um and the personalisation options, it'll
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. I would give it a two still
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: though.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: Okay number six. Can someone read it out? Or
  Elizabeth Torres: Does this prototype match the operating behaviour of the average user.
  Ann Flynn: Mm.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Um yeah. So that was mainly that
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: I think it does
  Ann Flynn: Oh
  Shena Alexander: the statistics
  Ann Flynn: yeah.
  Christine Day: very
  Elizabeth Torres: Because
  Shena Alexander: we
  Christine Day: well.
  Shena Alexander: said
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah, because the most accessible buttons are the volume and the and the
  Christine Day: The
  Elizabeth Torres: channel-changing.
  Christine Day: zap
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: And
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: it's just you won't have to think about it. You don't have to look down to find them. They're clearly there, easy to use.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah
  Elizabeth Torres: Simple.
  Shena Alexander: I
  Christine Day: Uh
  Shena Alexander: guess the I think the key word there is average, 'cause there were some people that used the uh video input and sound and stuff.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: But they're not
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: you and I really. So.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay so one?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay. Number seven. C Heather could you push it down? Will this remote control be easy to find when lost? Remember that fifty percent of users lose their remote regularly. Now is
  Ann Flynn: We
  Shena Alexander: there
  Ann Flynn: have
  Shena Alexander: the
  Ann Flynn: the alarm system.
  Shena Alexander: is the alarm system still was it implemented?
  Christine Day: Yeah the bu when you press
  Elizabeth Torres: It
  Christine Day: the alarm system, the lights
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah l lights on and,
  Christine Day: behind
  Elizabeth Torres: or flash as
  Christine Day: the
  Elizabeth Torres: well. But I mean
  Christine Day: and it'll vibra
  Elizabeth Torres: it's not obviously obvious from the outside that that's gonna happen
  Christine Day: It'll
  Elizabeth Torres: 'cause
  Christine Day: be again
  Elizabeth Torres: you can't
  Christine Day: in the marketing.
  Elizabeth Torres: s particularly
  Ann Flynn: I
  Elizabeth Torres: see
  Ann Flynn: thought the light
  Elizabeth Torres: an
  Ann Flynn: from
  Elizabeth Torres: alarm.
  Ann Flynn: the inside was
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: gonna light up.
  Christine Day: The light it will.
  Ann Flynn: Or or
  Christine Day: But
  Ann Flynn: was
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: it
  Elizabeth Torres: But
  Ann Flynn: gonna
  Elizabeth Torres: when the
  Ann Flynn: make a
  Elizabeth Torres: alarm's
  Ann Flynn: noise?
  Elizabeth Torres: not yeah.
  Christine Day: But both
  Elizabeth Torres: If you
  Ann Flynn: You press the button it makes a noise right?
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: It turns into a duck
  Elizabeth Torres: You
  Shena Alexander: and starts
  Elizabeth Torres: could
  Shena Alexander: quacking.
  Elizabeth Torres: s
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Here I am.
  Ann Flynn: Awesome.
  Christine Day: Oh, that would
  Ann Flynn: Awesome.
  Christine Day: be brilliant. I'd be tempted
  Elizabeth Torres: Well
  Shena Alexander: Um
  Christine Day: to
  Elizabeth Torres: the thing is, if it was had an alarm system, I mean, when it when it lights up as we I mean it could light up when the alarm went.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: But if it was hidden underneath the cushion or something, there wouldn't be any point. So you can't see the alarm, but it would light
  Christine Day: It would
  Elizabeth Torres: up.
  Christine Day: have to be in the market
  Ann Flynn: I though
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: w it was gonna make a noise.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah but you
  Elizabeth Torres: Alarm,
  Christine Day: still
  Elizabeth Torres: but
  Christine Day: couldn't
  Elizabeth Torres: you can't see
  Christine Day: see it.
  Elizabeth Torres: an alarm inside uh
  Christine Day: It would just
  Elizabeth Torres: the
  Christine Day: be a little
  Elizabeth Torres: alarm
  Christine Day: speaker
  Elizabeth Torres: system
  Christine Day: on the back
  Elizabeth Torres: itself.
  Christine Day: or something.
  Ann Flynn: Okay.
  Shena Alexander: We oh you're just explaining why it's not on the prototype.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: But yeah, it'll be
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: there. So we
  Ann Flynn: Oh
  Elizabeth Torres: It
  Shena Alexander: can
  Ann Flynn: okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: w
  Shena Alexander: we could say that
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Whoo. Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Sorry.
  Shena Alexander: We can give it a one, because compared to every other remote ever m ever made, this one will be easier to find.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah,
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay. Um
  Ann Flynn: totally.
  Elizabeth Torres: Sorry Heather. That
  Ann Flynn: No
  Elizabeth Torres: wasn't
  Ann Flynn: problem,
  Elizabeth Torres: very clear.
  Shena Alexander: Question
  Ann Flynn: mm.
  Shena Alexander: number eight. Will it be easy to learn how to use this remote when brand new? Remember that thirty four percent of users usually found it difficult. So
  Ann Flynn: Totally.
  Shena Alexander: it has to be yeah, it's eas they'll pick
  Christine Day: So
  Shena Alexander: it up
  Christine Day: the
  Shena Alexander: and
  Christine Day: plu
  Shena Alexander: they'll know what to do.
  Christine Day: the plus
  Shena Alexander: The plus thing
  Christine Day: w
  Shena Alexander: needs to be
  Christine Day: once
  Shena Alexander: worked on.
  Christine Day: that's written down on the page that'll
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: be really simple,
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah
  Christine Day: won't it?
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: I think just because it's we've
  Shena Alexander: Well
  Elizabeth Torres: decided to reduce it down to the basic buttons, I think
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: that
  Shena Alexander: Do
  Elizabeth Torres: in itself makes it so
  Shena Alexander: Does
  Elizabeth Torres: much
  Shena Alexander: it make
  Elizabeth Torres: easier
  Shena Alexander: more sense
  Elizabeth Torres: to use.
  Shena Alexander: for the middle one to be an just an enter button? So then you would have to push two buttons every time at least.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah, so it's just like channel six,
  Christine Day: That
  Ann Flynn: six,
  Christine Day: kind of annoys
  Ann Flynn: enter.
  Christine Day: Shena Alexander though, when
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Christine Day: it's zero six when you have to press I don't
  Ann Flynn: Yeah
  Christine Day: know
  Ann Flynn: but
  Christine Day: why.
  Ann Flynn: you don't have to press zeros.
  Shena Alexander: You could just press six enter,
  Christine Day: Oh okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: And
  Shena Alexander: or
  Ann Flynn: And then
  Elizabeth Torres: or
  Ann Flynn: like
  Shena Alexander: one
  Christine Day: Right.
  Elizabeth Torres: sixty
  Ann Flynn: twelve,
  Shena Alexander: two enter.
  Elizabeth Torres: six
  Ann Flynn: enter.
  Elizabeth Torres: enter,
  Christine Day: Alright,
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: aye.
  Elizabeth Torres: y
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah I think that's probably more straightforward. Yeah. Good
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Um, okay so we can
  Christine Day: I'd
  Shena Alexander: we'll say
  Christine Day: say
  Shena Alexander: yes it's
  Christine Day: w yeah one.
  Shena Alexander: uh one?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Ooh. Mm.
  Shena Alexander: Question number nine.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh.
  Shena Alexander: Uh, will it minimise the effects of R_S_I_, which was repeated strain injury?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Injury.
  Shena Alexander: Um, which affected over a quarter of users. S
  Christine Day: Hmm.
  Ann Flynn: I think so. It's like right in the
  Christine Day: But if you're zapping
  Ann Flynn: Your thumb might get a little
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah,
  Ann Flynn: bit
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: that's
  Ann Flynn: uh
  Elizabeth Torres: what I was thinking.
  Christine Day: I don't think it will f
  Elizabeth Torres: We may have to do some more research into
  Christine Day: Yeah,
  Elizabeth Torres: other strain
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: injuries that we don't know about.
  Ann Flynn: But it is soft.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm-hmm.
  Shena Alexander: It's soft,
  Ann Flynn: And
  Shena Alexander: and
  Ann Flynn: that's
  Christine Day: Mm.
  Ann Flynn: kind of what the um
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: And people
  Ann Flynn: the PowerPoint
  Shena Alexander: could
  Ann Flynn: slide thing said would be good for
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: R_S_I_,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Flynn: so
  Shena Alexander: I
  Ann Flynn: maybe
  Shena Alexander: don't know
  Ann Flynn: it
  Shena Alexander: what
  Ann Flynn: is
  Shena Alexander: other options
  Ann Flynn: but
  Elizabeth Torres: I think we're getting
  Shena Alexander: there are.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: that's true.
  Shena Alexander: Could I mean, you could hold it in your left hand and d use your index finger. But
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: there's not really any other options unless it's like a keyboard. So,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: I think we did as as much as you can with a remote control.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: So, one or two do you think?
  Christine Day: I
  Elizabeth Torres: I think
  Christine Day: I'd say t
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah, I think
  Christine Day: two.
  Elizabeth Torres: too.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Two okay.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay number ten. Did we somehow incorporate the company colour and logo?
  Ann Flynn: Yes we did.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Now is the colour gonna be there even if it's like vanilla? Is the yellow
  Christine Day: N We we can't really do that because for example on the banana theme we can't have it as being yellow.
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Christine Day: It won't stand out. So n it's not always gonna be the same colour.
  Shena Alexander: It sounds like the colour's something that we
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Gray, yeah.
  Ann Flynn: So it could be grey on the banana one.
  Christine Day: Yeah, could be grey.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: But I mean the yell yeah d yellow's ugly though, depending on
  Christine Day: Yeah
  Shena Alexander: the
  Christine Day: that's right, we didn't
  Shena Alexander: So
  Christine Day: even
  Shena Alexander: I think we'll
  Christine Day: rea
  Shena Alexander: have to talk to our executive managers, and
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm.
  Shena Alexander: see if we can get away with just the R_R_.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: I think this is the the factor that we've been least successful in
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Christine Day: Perhaps
  Elizabeth Torres: confronting.
  Christine Day: a metallic
  Ann Flynn: Mm, yeah.
  Christine Day: or or like that's grey, and it wouldn't be that expensive to have a little bit of metal. No?
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Christine Day: That
  Shena Alexander: And
  Christine Day: isn't
  Shena Alexander: the buttons
  Christine Day: rubber.
  Shena Alexander: in the middle. Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: So, do you think that's more of a three then? Three, four?
  Elizabeth Torres: Four I think.
  Shena Alexander: Four?
  Elizabeth Torres: Well I don't what do what
  Shena Alexander: Well we have good
  Ann Flynn: Hum.
  Shena Alexander: reasons for it, so we but we can still put a a four?
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Christine Day: Okay.
  Shena Alexander: Okay, and final question. Um, did we stay true to our motto and put the fashion into electronics? Current trends of fruits and veggies, desire for sponginess.
  Ann Flynn: I would say so.
  Christine Day: Following that briefing we
  Ann Flynn: But maybe
  Christine Day: did.
  Ann Flynn: more like two 'cause there's no like pictures of fruit, it's just sort of naming it by a fruit.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: With
  Elizabeth Torres: Like
  Ann Flynn: the
  Elizabeth Torres: um
  Ann Flynn: with the
  Elizabeth Torres: the colour
  Ann Flynn: colours.
  Elizabeth Torres: scheme names and
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: stuff.
  Shena Alexander: No, uh, are the plates interchangeable? I think I missed
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: a few
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: they are? So you can have banana and kiwi and
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Okay, so that's something that's kind of in the making too, like maybe it'll become more
  Ann Flynn: That's fashionable in itself to have interchangeable plates.
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: It is.
  Christine Day: I think w yeah, I think one. Well that was our brief and we followed the brief. Well we haven't
  Elizabeth Torres: The thing
  Christine Day: got a big
  Elizabeth Torres: is, I
  Christine Day: banana
  Elizabeth Torres: think if somebody
  Christine Day: but
  Elizabeth Torres: saw that and you said what was that
  Christine Day: Oh
  Elizabeth Torres: inspired
  Christine Day: yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: from, I
  Ann Flynn: Be
  Elizabeth Torres: don't
  Ann Flynn: like
  Elizabeth Torres: know if you'd instantly
  Christine Day: No.
  Elizabeth Torres: say mango.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: No.
  Ann Flynn: Maybe if it was scented.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh
  Christine Day: Oh
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah.
  Christine Day: that would be class.
  Elizabeth Torres: There we go. That would be great.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah we have money for that. Um
  Elizabeth Torres: Um
  Ann Flynn: Alright so based on this evaluation, do we average them out sorta thing?
  Shena Alexander: Yes we do. So I wh what was I gonna put for that? A two
  Ann Flynn: Oh.
  Shena Alexander: for fashion?
  Ann Flynn: I would say two.
  Christine Day: Yeah. Two.
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Shena Alexander: Okay, so our average there, five, six, eight, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, nineteen, twenty one, divided by eleven
  Christine Day: It's
  Shena Alexander: is
  Ann Flynn: One point
  Elizabeth Torres: It's
  Ann Flynn: nine or something?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: I don't know these things.
  Elizabeth Torres: Between
  Ann Flynn: Um,
  Elizabeth Torres: one and two.
  Ann Flynn: between one and two.
  Shena Alexander: Between okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: So that's
  Christine Day: Close
  Elizabeth Torres: pretty
  Shena Alexander: Um.
  Christine Day: to two.
  Elizabeth Torres: fantastic.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Yeah, that's very good 'cause the highest we coulda got is one.
  Christine Day: I got
  Ann Flynn: Alright.
  Shena Alexander: Does that seem right then?
  Christine Day: Yeah, 'cause we've a four to bring down.
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm. It
  Christine Day: Uh,
  Elizabeth Torres: seems
  Christine Day: aye.
  Elizabeth Torres: like it should be more around two.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Yeah. Uh, should've added five.
  Elizabeth Torres: Do we have an online calculator?
  Ann Flynn: I'm attempting to do that right
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: now.
  Christine Day: This
  Ann Flynn: Yeah
  Christine Day: is.
  Ann Flynn: it is one point nine. Ooh.
  Christine Day: Yay.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh wow. Well done.
  Ann Flynn: Go
  Elizabeth Torres: Well
  Ann Flynn: Heather
  Elizabeth Torres: that's
  Ann Flynn: Pauls.
  Elizabeth Torres: excellent.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. Alright, now with that over and done with, our next step is to see if we are under budget. And um my computer's frozen. And now it's not. Okay. So um in our shared folder, if everyone could go there right now, um
  Shena Alexander: Sorry.
  Ann Flynn: I'm going to um
  Shena Alexander: Are you gonna do
  Ann Flynn: steal
  Shena Alexander: that?
  Ann Flynn: a cable.
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: Um
  Christine Day: Is that the project document?
  Ann Flynn: it's it's um it's an Excel file. Oh.
  Elizabeth Torres: Production costs.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. 'Kay there we go. Um, production costs. And um I have to access that as well.
  Elizabeth Torres: It
  Ann Flynn: One
  Elizabeth Torres: says
  Ann Flynn: moment.
  Elizabeth Torres: it
  Ann Flynn: 'Kay so far I've added what I think or what is going on? Great. It's blinking at Shena Alexander. It's locked for editing. Read only. I'm gonna open up a second one then 'cause it's locked for editing. I have the original in my um my email account.
  Shena Alexander: Oh is it locked 'cause I'm in it?
  Ann Flynn: I
  Elizabeth Torres: I
  Ann Flynn: dunno.
  Elizabeth Torres: think it
  Shena Alexander: Or
  Elizabeth Torres: just means that we
  Shena Alexander: okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: can't add any more to it now. Have you have you completed it?
  Ann Flynn: No.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oh right.
  Ann Flynn: No,
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: I was hoping that you guys could.
  Elizabeth Torres: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: Um, there we go. Okay here we go. So we need to tally up how much our w our product will be costing. So um if you can look up at the screen, um
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: the large screen, oh I guess looking at your own too and telling Shena Alexander which one you think. Okay we're using kinetic which is quite a large expense at three Euros.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Christine Day: Oh
  Ann Flynn: Um we're
  Christine Day: right.
  Ann Flynn: using a regular chip.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Um,
  Elizabeth Torres: Double
  Ann Flynn: it's cur it's double curved,
  Elizabeth Torres: double-curved
  Ann Flynn: so its curved
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah.
  Ann Flynn: all around. That's another three. We're already at five. Um, we're using plastic and rubber,
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: so Good thing plastic is free, we're at eight. Um
  Christine Day: What about
  Ann Flynn: S
  Christine Day: a special colour? Are
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Christine Day: we using that?
  Ann Flynn: I guess we should do it just for one kind.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: So it's like special colour well we'll have two colours right?
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Well one colour for the case, one colour for the buttons.
  Elizabeth Torres: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Flynn: So we can
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Um, we have push button interface, so that's inexpensive. And um we have a special colour for the button, and we also have a special form. And
  Christine Day: And a special material. Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: a special material.
  Elizabeth Torres: Oof.
  Ann Flynn: Which puts us just barely under budget. Hurray.
  Elizabeth Torres: Congratulations
  Shena Alexander: Mm. 'S good.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: guys.
  Ann Flynn: Good work guys. So um
  Christine Day: That's good.
  Ann Flynn: our operating cost is twelve twenty Euros. Awesome.
  Ann Flynn: And back to our PowerPoint. So we've 'Kay. Yes we are. So we need to do a product evaluation, again, which is probably um I dunno. A different extension of a
  Elizabeth Torres: Of the actual project rather than the product?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: A project? Is is yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah 'cause we're talking
  Elizabeth Torres: So
  Ann Flynn: about
  Elizabeth Torres: wh
  Ann Flynn: leadership,
  Elizabeth Torres: how
  Ann Flynn: teamwork.
  Elizabeth Torres: we actually went round uh about doing it.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah. Alright so um Do you guys feel like there was room for creativity?
  Elizabeth Torres: I think we were pushed.
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Flynn: Pushed for creativity?
  Elizabeth Torres: I mean we weren't really
  Christine Day: The ma
  Elizabeth Torres: given a lot of time, or
  Christine Day: Or
  Elizabeth Torres: materials,
  Christine Day: materials.
  Elizabeth Torres: yeah, to go about our design task.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: So I think we could've done with a bit more time.
  Ann Flynn: Ye Okay. So it'd be like need more time and materials.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: But you were allowed m creativity?
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: I think so as like but you were supposed to
  Shena Alexander: Yeah
  Ann Flynn: have
  Shena Alexander: and
  Ann Flynn: creativ
  Shena Alexander: the conceptual and functional. Like we were very creative in in coming up with an idea I guess,
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: but
  Elizabeth Torres: Well
  Shena Alexander: m
  Elizabeth Torres: we were just limited by resources really
  Shena Alexander: When we can down
  Elizabeth Torres: and
  Shena Alexander: to
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: like
  Shena Alexander: it. Okay.
  Ann Flynn: Right.
  Elizabeth Torres: if we had decided to use the L_C_D_ screen, and like solar power backup and everything, then we wouldn't have been able to afford that. So that did limit
  Christine Day: Creativity.
  Elizabeth Torres: creativity.
  Ann Flynn: Right
  Elizabeth Torres: Just
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: resources.
  Ann Flynn: Okay
  Elizabeth Torres: But yeah. The fruit and veg idea.
  Ann Flynn: Great. Leadership? Is this Shena Alexander being
  Shena Alexander: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: like, guys do you like Shena Alexander? Um.
  Shena Alexander: Good leadership, I think we stayed on
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: task.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: we did. We've, uh seeing as we've come out with what we intended. A pro um a product within the budget. I think
  Shena Alexander: Mm-hmm.
  Elizabeth Torres: that's a sign of good leadership and also our personal coach helped us along the way, so
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: you know
  Shena Alexander: And
  Elizabeth Torres: I
  Shena Alexander: the
  Elizabeth Torres: think
  Shena Alexander: timing
  Elizabeth Torres: it's been
  Shena Alexander: was
  Elizabeth Torres: fine.
  Shena Alexander: good. We never were pushed for time, or sat around doing nothing, so
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah. Good timing.
  Ann Flynn: Oop Okay.
  Elizabeth Torres: And
  Ann Flynn: Teamwork?
  Elizabeth Torres: project manager
  Ann Flynn: I think we worked
  Elizabeth Torres: of course.
  Ann Flynn: great as a team.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Yeah?
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Shena Alexander: Was good teamwork. I think we are well-suited to our roles.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah.
  Ann Flynn: Alright how were our means?
  Elizabeth Torres: Um
  Ann Flynn: We needed more Play Doh colours.
  Christine Day: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: Yeah and more Play Doh, 'cause that was all the red
  Ann Flynn: Yeah.
  Elizabeth Torres: we had. So even
  Christine Day: Yeah, it
  Elizabeth Torres: if we
  Christine Day: c
  Elizabeth Torres: wanted
  Christine Day: it might've
  Elizabeth Torres: to make
  Christine Day: been
  Elizabeth Torres: a
  Christine Day: bigger.
  Elizabeth Torres: bigger prototype,
  Shena Alexander: Oh really?
  Elizabeth Torres: we wouldn't have been able to.
  Shena Alexander: Okay.
  Ann Flynn: But ever everything else was satisfactory? Is that
  Shena Alexander: Yeah. The
  Ann Flynn: good
  Christine Day: Yeah.

Updated Content: Ann Flynn opens the meeting by stating the agenda. The designers give the prototype presentation, showing their simple design that is based on a mango. They point out the company logo and LED, and demonstrate how the device is palm-held and thumb-acessible. They also discuss the numerical, volume, channel, and power buttons as well as the color scheme. Shena Alexander administers the product evaluation, and they rate each of the ten criteria on a scale of 1-7. The criteria includes fancy look-and-feel, technological innovation, ease of use, look, whether people would be willing to spend 25 Euros for it, whether its operating behavior matches the average user, ease of finding when lost, ease of learning to use, whether it will minimize RSI, incorporation of company colors and logo, and whether it follows the motto. They average the scores and get 1.9. They check the product costing and find that their operating cost is 12.20 Euros. In evaluating the project process they are pleased with their creativity, leadership, timing, teamwork, discussions, and overall product given the resources they had. They close the meeting by thanking one another.
