When the website was being revised, only the boss and I were involved, and what we only had are the interviews left by predecessors. Nevertheless, not only did I take the responsibility of product planning, I also needed to persuade the boss to make choices among his many unrestrained thoughts, and furthermore I needed to spot my blindness in time. The whole process helped me learn the importance of teamwork and communication.

During the development stage, due to the insufficient workforces in our engineering department, we had to outsource some parts of the programming work. When communicating with these outsourced engineers, I discovered that they seldom asked questions when needed, so their works sometimes were different from the original plan, so I spent a lot of time communicate with them to make adjustment. This helped me learn that I should prepare more information and proactively ask the engineers that whether they encounter problems during programming any time, but not only care about the visual part.

For some functions that were originally planned such as the point system, the design was done and the engineers finished their work, and they are not put into use in the end, wasting the cost of human power and time. This helped me learn that next time when design a product, I should confirm more on the detailed plan of need and execution, so that efforts will not be wasted.

After the website was out online, I discovered some areas that can be further improved next time through the did data record every week, and these have been discussed to be fixed in the next round of development.
