Path foreward:

1.  Implimenet a administrator and user accounts to protect customer credit card information.

2.  Impliment functionality for using the "Customer E-mail" field from the Renter Table to generate advertizing E-mails for those customers which opt to receive them.

3.  Impliment functionality for using the "Genre" field from Rental Video Table to better assist Pop Kulture employees in recomending videos for customers.  

Lesson Learned:

1.  An information technology implementation of a manual system can be more difficult then doing process enginering for a new system concurrently.  An example of this is Pop Kulture's requirement for an auto-complete function for the rental screen.  The common and less programing intensive implementation is to assign customer and video I.D. numbers.

2.  When dealing with clients that are unfamilar with information technology, make it quite clear that for contract work situations that any program support after the final delivey will have to be negotiated seperately.

3.  When discussing deliverables, ensure that the programer(s) do not over extend themsevles by underestimating the difficulty of implementing different features.

What would we do differently:

1.  Attempt to develope a team with more technical experitse.  Having only one programer made the success or failure of the project dependent on one person.

2.  Stricter adhearance to the Gantt chart.  The Gantt chart needs to be followed more closely to insure that goals are being accomplished in a timely manner.

3.  A central authority that enforces the Gantt chart would be helpful in maintainting a project time table.  In a group of equals, there was a tendancy not to bring a person to task over missed deadlines.

What we are going to take with us to the next project:

1.  A healthy respect for the amount of time necessary to complete the different stages of a project.

2.  A better understanding of how the flow of communication can facilitate or destroy the success of a project.

3.  A willingness to manage and confront others who are not necessarly your subordinates prior to the project, and a williness to be subordinate to a project manager.
