Creating a Gantt Chart & Ethics Approval
Project Planning & Governance
Gantt Chart Development
Constructed a detailed project timeline using Mermaid.js and Excel to track milestones, dependencies, and critical path analysis for the InclusiSight framework development.
Ethics Approval Process
Completed the mandatory University Ethics Review form, addressing data privacy, informed consent for potential user testing, and secure storage of forensic logs.
Resource Allocation
Identified necessary software libraries (Chrome Extension SDK, SHA-256 implementation) and hardware requirements for accessibility testing.
Reflection: The Foundation of Success
Setting up the Gantt Chart wasn't just about dates; it was about visualizing the interdependencies of the InclusiSight development cycle. Understanding when the forensic logging module needs to be completed relative to the UI testing is crucial for maintaining project velocity.
The Ethics Form submission marks a significant milestone in responsible research. Ensuring that user data remains private while testing accessibility features is not just a requirement—it's a core value of the project.
