Welcome at the first step of our project guide! In this article you will learn how to analyse your project and realise what it should become.

Basic information

• Project name - This name is used throughout the entire developing the project. It is advised to keep it simple and only use A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and spaces.


• Small description - You should write a small description (max. 100 characters) about your project.

Target group

When creating a project, you should think about for who it is. This affects the difficulty of the language, which language, the font, the buttons and much more.

The following things should come to mind:

• Age
• Education
• Handicap
• Language

Features

Your project should have options and possibilities that other projects (and websites) do not have. If you want to sell your final product, you need to have created something that does not yet exists or which is such of a good quality and has much more features than the competition.

You should make a list that contains all the features your project needs to have. For example, an (plain) text editor:

• Save option
• Open option
• Find text option
• Count words/lines/characters

Team

If you are creating a project with a team, you should think about various items:

• Planning - It is advised to make a planning in which stands when what is going to be done by who. If you do not do this, communicating eachother's status will consume alot of time.


• Communication - You should arrange what kind of communication you are going to use: e-mail, msn, twitter, facebook, site-messages etc.


• Risks - Testing out the code each time you added a new feature is of great importance, else you might find out that there is a error and you can't figure out where it is triggered. Breaking down the tasks is very important to prevent your project from not working when everything is assembled.
