Events Calendar Update

As promised in my previous post, here are the functional requirements that we currently have for the events calendar. There are two documents that are related to the functional requirements, the first is the requirements document while the second document is an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet detailing the various fields available to an event. We would like to receive as much feedback as possible, so if you have any feedback, please send it to casper@umn.edu. We have met with groups like the College of Liberal Arts, College of Design, and Duluth and they have provided excellent feedback on the functional requirements. Again, if any groups would like us to meet with them to discuss the functional requirements, please contact me at casper@umn.edu.

Our timeline going forward will be fairly aggressive as we would like to have the system operational sometime during the fall semester. Starting in mid-May, we will be taking the functional requirements that we have created and start looking at the technical solutions available to implement the system. In addition to starting to finding a technical solution, we have already starting to work on page designs for the main events page. While we have not scheduled usability testing as of yet, but we will plan on having the www.umn.edu/events site go through usability testing either before or after the new site is launched.

Documents:
- Functional Requirements
- Field Listing Requirements
