Supermarket Simulation

Project Management

For our project Management, we had an initial timeline for our progress and several project goals. Some of the more ambitious goals include animating the customers when they buy an item and hosting the webpage online.

Instead, we faced an initial setback in our coding logic for non-colliding behaviour and took longer than expected. We also spent a substantial amount of time bug fixing to ensure all the components worked together.

However, this foundation helped greatly in unexpected areas - We could easily change our supermarket layout multiple times and our simulation would still work. We also added several interesting, yet unplanned features such as Poisson arrivals as we learnt more during Simulation lessons.

Overall, most of our goals were met with just slight deviations, however, the initial plan was crucial in maintaining our focus and pacing our checkpoints.
