Project Constraints and Development Process

Given the short time frame to produce a game design and low fidelity prototype an iterative development process with a time box of 1 week was decided.

At each iterative meeting the following format has been adopted:

• Discuss previous weeks issues, resolution and integration of changes into current prototype.
• Team play testing then performed based on the current prototype game.
• New issues documented and allocated to team member.
• Work breakdown structure updated.
