Concerns

• Nobody has experience with Android library documentation let alone the programming applications. We are not sure how long it will take to understand the GPS feature.– Solution: Build prototype to simulate the GPS

feature

Concerns

• Mixing the senior design schedule with Mr. Wales’ tennis schedule.– Solution: Don’t plan due dates after tournaments

when Mr. Wales is out of town

Conclusions• LocatePortland, an android based application

will provide users with a map of landmarks/restaurants in downtown Portland

• Team Pistol River Pocket Gopher is still revising the functional design document
