project manager: just try . user interface: 'kay . project manager: on this normal industrial designer: oh oh . user interface: alt f_ five . project manager: good . does n't appear on the screen here . industrial designer: right well project manager: oh . industrial designer: wow . amazing . it 's working . project manager: okay . thank you . uh . marketing: hold that . okay . project manager: yes and you can put can clip it uh on your marketing: okay . mm . project manager: somewhere . so , good morning , everyone . um welcome at uh at the kick off meeting of our uh latest project . industrial designer: project manager: i hope you all have been uh updated about it . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: good . user interface: so . yes . project manager: so w we will try to structure this uh meeting with an a with an agenda uh as presented here . um after the opening we will tr get acquainted to each other . user interface: project manager: see what our roles are in this project . so , um we have been provided with uh some uh w technical tools to uh to communicate and to well , learn from each other 's plans uh as i can say um so w we will also try to uh to get acquainted to this tools so they are also new to me i do n't know whether you worked with them before . um then we will come to the uh to the to the actual project plan . you all know i hope how it 's about uh the uh new r remote control we are going going to design . marketing: mm-hmm . user interface: total . project manager: uh then we will uh discuss uh , well , how it should be and uh wh what uh what our new product should look lite like . and uh well then uh after some twenty five minutes i hope uh we can end this meeting . so . um basically this is about a uh a new c remote control . um we when you design a new product you of uh you of course want it to be original . be uh we want to be distinguished , mm ? people uh want to uh when they look at the shelf want to think , well that 's the product i i need . so it needs to be trendy . i mean trendy is what people want , so then i w they will buy our product . but then , uh , it also should work uh user friendly and uh otherwise people uh uh well it will not be uh be rated very well in consumer uh articles and like that . industrial designer: project manager: so , the general outline of uh new project will be we first uh go through a functional design phase . um you all get uh um certain task uh in this uh in this phase and uh then we will meet again and uh discuss this functional design . and the same holds for the uh ph two phases uh after this , the conceptual design and after that a a more detailed design in which the the final project should get its definite shape . alright , but first we will do some uh tool training . in all in front of you uh you see uh the uh notebooks and w uh n note blocks and we have here a a a a white-board . user interface: whitebo marketing: mm-hmm . project manager: and um well it should work uh i 've read it from my uh from some colleague that it should work with some kind of toolbar . i did n't find out yet how it work , but maybe one of you did , so um industrial designer: under documents in the shared folder . okay . project manager: yes . do do we have to say something about that ?

industrial designer: oh . marketing: now it 's a swordfish . project manager: why not . a swordfish . marketing: industrial designer: you have some in in australia , right ? marketing: swordfish . project manager: industrial designer: yeah . marketing: um , maybe . industrial designer: i dunno . marketing: i 've never seen one , no . industrial designer: oh well . yeah . project manager: i hope it still works . so industrial designer: perfect . so i dunno if we need to spend time on that , actually but uh user interface: you should go for the next one it seems to me . project manager: w well , this uh this tool seemed to work . marketing: mm-hmm . industrial designer: yeah , exactly , yeah . project manager: let 's continue to uh to the real stuff . industrial designer: wow . project manager: um our project uh finance uh thing . uh when we are and when w you are uh going to design w uh we must keep in mind that the selling price of the product uh will be about twenty five euros , so when designing a project uh i also look at you uh mael , keep in mind uh uh uh people uh user interface: twenty four . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: want to get the feeling this is a twenty five euro project uh pr um product . industrial designer: per remote control , marketing: mm . industrial designer: yeah ? per project . project manager: yes . okay . um industrial designer: project manager: more interesting for our company of course , p uh profit aim , about fifty million euro . so we have to sell uh quite a lot of this uh um things . uh we will try to uh to get at a international market uh so um it will be i think mainly europe and uh northern america , user interface: ah yeah , the sale man , four million . project manager: maybe some uh asian countries . um also important for you all is um the the product uh production cost must be maximal uh twelve uh twelve euro and fifty cents . industrial designer: so it 's half of the selling price , if i am good in mathematics . project manager: yes , of course . uh um i mean we still have to uh to make a profit , huh ? user interface: they have to sell at least four million to make a profit industrial designer: of course . marketing: mm . project manager: you all have to be paid . marketing: mm . project manager: excuse me ? user interface: ah we have to make we have to sell at least four million to make our own profit . fifty mill industrial designer: oh you 're g very good in mathematics . marketing: yes . user interface: project manager: yes , indeed . user interface: industrial designer: four million . project manager: so uh well i think w when we are working on the international market , uh in principle it has enough customers industrial designer: yeah . project manager: uh so when we have a good product we uh we could uh meet this this aim , i think . so , that about finance . and uh now just let have some discussion about what is a good remote control and uh well keep in mind this this first point , it has to be original , it has to be trendy , it has to be user friendly . um , maybe someone can mention some additional uh prerequisites for a good remote control . marketing: mm-hmm . user interface: of course it should have a on off button . marketing: mm-hmm . project manager: yes , well i it should have the the the the expected functionality uh of a remote control . marketing: mm . yeah . user interface: yeah , s and it depends what application you are using it for . marketing: mm . user interface: you might need uh project manager: we wer we were thinking television . uh . marketing: mm . user interface: we are targ targeting the television set . so , marketing: mm . user interface: you need to record the channels . marketing: yeah . project manager: mm-hmm . user interface: you need to browse the browse the channels in upward downward way , marketing: mm . project manager: yes , yes . th th that 's very handy i i always miss it and on some remote controls that you can go channel up or down ins instead of retyping the number , especially when you have a lot of channels . user interface: uh and marketing: mm . mm . user interface: uh , and industrial designer: and uh just before starting the detailed discussion , maybe we are the marketing guy ? or marketing: i 'm marketing . user interface: marketing . industrial designer: th so you are the marketing . marketing: yep . industrial designer: and you are in the u use user interface uh design . user interface: yeah . project manager: yes . user interface: yeah . industrial designer: so just yeah i wanted to to be sure . user interface: sure . industrial designer: and i i 'm the the industrial designer marketing: mm-hmm . project manager: yes . user interface: industrial designer: okay . user interface: oh . industrial designer: because i i do n't know you very well , actually , but yeah . user interface: i 'm matthew . you know . industrial designer: okay . mael . user interface: matth s uh industrial designer: happy to meet you . marketing: anna . user interface: anna . industrial designer: okay . it 's very uh project manager: a and i 'm nanne . user interface: and um uh matthew , yeah . project manager: so user interface: i thi think you know me , industrial designer: uh so yeah uh just uh on your web page but uh yeah not uh not face to face . project manager: yes . user interface: yeah ? right yeah . project manager: so . um s user interface: so . industrial designer: so mm project manager: s s marketing: mm . project manager: are there some other very important things to to do well , user interface: so industrial designer: so i project manager: to specify in this first phase of of the project . so the browse function , as you m mentioned . marketing: mm . yeah . oth yeah . user interface: and uh , you 'd need the usual ones , like the changing the volume , changing the the channel and then you uh project manager: yes . yeah . user interface: today we have uh um teletext and all those things . tomorrow you might have a some more functions which might come through that , so project manager: yes . industrial designer: like what ? like internet on the on tv ? marketing: mm . user interface: yeah i_p_o_ or . now we are looking for television things or i_p_ . for example personal video recorder and all those stuffs are coming up . industrial designer: yeah . marketing: mm . but we ca n't really design for something that has n't been invented yet . user interface: yeah . ah it 's it 's it 's it 's coming up , actually . the personal video recorder and all those things it is coming up . project manager: mm , well uh i i think uh w y you two should should , i think , think this over uh w espec what , what functionality . industrial designer: actually , yeah user interface: let 's let 's take industrial designer: w of course , and first before um designing the func well thinking about the functionalities , we need to know what are the user requirements . marketing: mm . yeah . industrial designer: um then if they need internet , then we would be able to to p to propose something with uh uh tv over i_p_ . project manager: mm-hmm . marketing: yeah . mm . yeah . but ninety percent of the time , ninety nine percent of the time , people will be using the main functions , the volume , the different channels , so we can have all the fancy things as well but the main controls need to be very obvious and very easy to use . project manager: mm mm mm . keep k keep in mind i it 's a it 's a twenty five euro unit , so uh uh the the very fancy stuff uh w we can leave that out , i think . marketing: mm . project manager: so twenty five euro you expect a quite , well normal but good functioning user friendly remote control . marketing: mm . user interface: oh in that case you can you always hook up with uh someone who is providing that and you know , you you sell their product as well as your product with them , you know . marketing: mm . so try and get tv manufacturers to user interface: yeah . industrial designer: yeah , but w w we want to design a new one . mm . user interface: no , it 's okay , yeah i understand . so we need some numbering buttons , some teletext things industrial designer: yeah . user interface: and then um industrial designer: the yeah , the main is browsing . yeah . project manager: yes , but but but ab about the spec the buttons , the buttons uh that will be on it . i i think we can discuss that in the in the next meeting . user interface: yeah . yeah . project manager: uh i would like to get this wrapped up and go to an end of this meeting . user interface: okay . project manager: so user interface: okay , we are alread mm . mm . project manager: so industrial designer: okay . project manager: you know now the basic the basic things . marketing: mm-hmm . user interface: yeah . project manager: well just just for the next meeting , um user interface: l project manager: well , uh , you wor yes , work on a design , keep it general , i mean so w we will be still fle flexible with maybe adding some functions . so industrial designer: mm-hmm . project manager: um you will be working on on technical function design , so user interface: yeah , sure . project manager: and uh you and you and uh uh uh well , think about requirements , marketing: mm-hmm . project manager: eh ? does it need internet , or or do do we stay at basic basic television uh interface . user interface: stam . marketing: yeah . project manager: so , uh i think we should now all go work uh uh at this marketing: mm-hmm . project manager: and uh you will be informed via email and other kind of communication . marketing: yeah . user interface: okay . project manager: so next meeting will be in uh in thirty minutes uh . industrial designer: perfect . project manager: k keep it in mind . </s> [SEP]what did project manager think of the cost constraints and financial targets of the new remote control project ?
