Week 8

Woo its the final week of this project. I have been doing all of the final testing, reviewing what I have done within the project, finishing of my user guide to suit all of the new methods/functions I have put in since I started it, making sure that my technical documentation contains all of the information that they need to understand the project, and making the final changes to my GANT chart and CPA to suit what I have done.

After eight weeks of the project we are coming to the end of the road. I am pleased that we can finally get the project sent to the client so they can work on the platform that we have made for them, but also quite sad at the same time, as I have really enjoyed learning about PHP/MYSQL and finding ways to successfully managing projects in the real world.

This week, will be fully testing out the program making sure that everything works the way it was designed too, and that it looks exactly how the final design is, this would range from the CSS layout to the right images on the pages. As well as this I will be producing a lot of documentation to the project in regards to a user guide, which will have all of the features of the current CMS platform, and step by step guide on how to post news, log into the system and registering new users onto the it. Also it will contain useful information such as license agreements, glossary of what terms we have used and the definitions of these, a introduction of what the CMS is about and finally a frequently asked questions section.

I am fully pushing myself to get the project done on time, so that the client is fully happy with it and avoiding the late fees for not meeting the deadline as well. I have  also come to a stage of where that I have fully finished the project but it is still missing the user function of where they can register new users for the back end of the CMS, so I have submitted a change request form, of hopefully the client will agree upon for a extension of 4 days which I feel will allow me to get the user part to work the way it should.
