Meetings

1st Meeting (2023-03-03)

Agenda:

Smartification of an everyday product

Minute:

We presented the main idea of the proposal: a smart shopping cart to improve the user experience in the supermarket. We discuss about the state of art and the need of finding what already exist in the market and in the academic field. This is important to define the requirements and add value to our product.

2nd Meeting (2023-03-09)

Agenda:

State of art

Backlog and the Gantt chart

Brainstorming report

Minute:

We started with a discussion about small mistakes at the beginning of our report. Then we showed experts the state of the art that we made. After receiving feedback we started talking about how to improve our backlog and Gantt chart and how to make it more visible. In the end, we discussed our ideas that will make our smart shopping cart distinctive on the market.

3rd Meeting (2023-03-16)

Agenda:

System Diagrams & Structural Drafts
