|---|---|---|---|
| 02/07/19 | - Detailed Process Flowchart | - Difficulty in implementation | - Smaller group meetings |
| - Importance vs feasibility | - Marketing (promotion, lack of) | To do, doing, done | |
| - Daily Meetings | - Language barrier | -Implementing more functionality | |
| - User profiles (not up to date) |
The current platform provides the minimal viable functionality for day Next step of implementation would be to add search filters and advanced search, recurring bookings, item recommendations based on user data, FAQ section and possibly a direct messaging platform for users to talk to each other. The additional functionalities will improve the convenience of the designed platform. Another feature for profit making would be to implement advertisements, this feature would be a critical component to be implemented in the next iteration as it is a major part of making the app financially beneficial. Other useful features include improving user experience and a plan-able calendar for future booking logs.
