ProgressI am currently working on my second product prototype. My client was impressed with the initial prototype but has given me lots of improvements for me to carry on to the newer version. After this prototype I am going to make another and then one final one which will be the final product. I have encountered a few probems when creating my product, for example the file that contained my 'index' page became corrupted over christmas, but luckily I had recently backed up all of my files but I still lost a week of prgress. My contingency time allowed for this though so I am still up to date with my project plan.

Resources

• YouTube for video tutorials on how to create an interactive game
• Adobe Flash to create product components, interactivity and to weave the product together
• Fireworks to create graphics for the game
• Microsoft Word to collect print screens of how I am creating the project and my progress to show to my client
• USB stick to store files
• Personal computer to back up memory stick regulary

Communication

I have limited communication with my stakeholders over the Christmas period but I have scheduled multiple meetings for the near future.

Concerns

I have a slight concern with the reliablity of my USB stick and am currently debating the suitability of it as a storage device for my product. I think the solve this concern I will consistently back up my work on a regular basis on a variety of different platforms and devices.

Action Points

• Ensure that I increase the amount of communication between me and my client so that he mantains a strong influence in the development of the product.
• I need to continue to progress through the product at a steady rate.
• I need to make sure that the quality of my work is high although I will be able to improve the product when I create further prototypes and then ultimately the final product.
