Deliverable Week 3: Designing Feature Set

In this weeks deliverable we were told in the lecture that we would again be working in the big groups of 3, to pick a feature each and design it.

All the features were discussed in the proposal from the week before, and we therefore had to split the features between the 16 or so people in the 3 groups.

This was done by more discussions taking place over the myBU discussion board, where people selected the feature they thought they could design the best.

But as everyone had selected a feature, discussions still needed to take place where by people needed to discuss the consistency of design, to keep the same elements of the designing similar to everyone else's.

My responsibility for this deliverable was to design the 'Money Made' feature, which will now be known as the 'Financial Breakdown' feature.

This feature was broken into two sections, one being the front end and the other being the back end of the feature.

Front-End
- Would be carried out by Rory Marsh, where by he would design a web based form allowing the user to enter the financial figures of a specific event and then clicking on the 'Submit' button which would then be sent and saved to the database.

Back-End
- Would be carried out by myself, where I would place a button (along with the other buttons available to the user on their account) to allow the user to click on it and view a Financial Summary of the event.

- It would be broken down as a financial analysis, in the form of an excel spreadsheet where all the figures from all the various elements of the event would be displayed.

These figures can then be manipulated and implemented by he user, however they see fit, by possibly converting them into graphs and further financial analysis.
