input: Summarise the discussion about grouping buttons on the remote control.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Hello. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {gap}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Dang it.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} And then you have to place your laptop exactly on the marked spot.
  Marketing: Alright.
  User Interface: {gap}
  Project Manager: It's important to place your laptop exactly on the marked spot over here.
  User Interface: Okay. No, that's okay. Joost, your mouse.
  Marketing: What?
  User Interface: No mouse needed?
  Marketing: I've got a touch-pad.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Marketing: Do you know how how I can wake it up?
  User Interface: A touch-pad?
  Marketing: No, my laptop.
  User Interface: Slap it.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} You with your brilliant ideas. I don't know if I can touch the power button. Do you know how how I can wake it up?
  User Interface: Is {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: No. Yeah. Try the power button.
  Marketing: Oh.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Come on, move it.
  User Interface: Um {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Now, wake up, bitch.
  Project Manager: Huh.
  User Interface: F_ five. F_ five {gap}.
  Industrial Designer: I've lost my screen. Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Yeah, so did I.
  User Interface: I don't.
  Marketing: I closed it. That wasn that wasn't very smart, I guess.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Come on. Get back to me. Yes.
  Industrial Designer: Yes.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: I closed the {disfmarker}
  Marketing: I closed it.
  User Interface: You've got your name. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yeah, my name is name.
  Marketing: No, I didn't restart it, I just closed it. Yes.
  User Interface: Hope it working.
  Marketing: Alright.
  Industrial Designer: No.
  User Interface: Never close your laptop.
  Project Manager: Yeah? Everybody's ready?
  User Interface: Yeah.
  Marketing: Great. Thanks.
  Project Manager: Great. Well, welcome to the kick-off meeting. I uh forgot to put my name over here, it's uh {vocalsound} it's Martin. Uh, so you all know.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Well, this is the agenda for today. Well, the opening is what I'm doing right now.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh, we gonna do some acquaintance acquaintance things. Uh give some um examples of the tool training, project plan discussion and the closing. We have twenty five minutes. Okay, the project aim is to design a new remote control.
  Marketing: Mm-hmm.
  Project Manager: Uh, some of the {vocalsound} oje objectives are that is has to be original, trendy, and user-friendly. So now we all know what our
  User Interface: Okay.
  Project Manager: goal is. Um, I {disfmarker} oh forget {disfmarker} I forget the whole acquaintance part, but we we all know each other. We all know each other's names. Joost, Guido, Antek.
  User Interface: What is your name?
  Marketing: Yes.
  Industrial Designer: Yes. Antek.
  User Interface: Antek Ahmet. And Joost. {gap}
  Project Manager: Okay. I think we uh al already uh been through that part.
  User Interface: Okay. Yeah.
  Project Manager: Okay, it consists of uh three levels of design. Uh we begin with the functional design, then we go to the conceptual design and the detailed design. Every uh level of design consists of some individual work, and we uh close it with a meeting. You all received an email with a example of our explanation of what uh the particular level of design uh means to the different uh functions, and uh you p you probably read that already, so I don't have to tell you about that.
  User Interface: Yes.
  Marketing: Yes.
  Project Manager: Okay, first we're gonna um uh gonna try some different things with the tools we have over here, so you get acquainted with these uh um uh meeting tools. We have the smart-boards, uh the thes those two boards. This is the presentation boards, wh which one I'm using right now. You can uh um {disfmarker} there's a document folder called um the sh {vocalsound} shared document folder. You can upload your uh documents to that folder and then you can open them over here, so you can do your PowerPoint presentations on this screen. We also have the white-board. Uh, we're gonna skip through th
  User Interface: Can we see the white-board on our laptops?
  Project Manager: No, no. Just on the on the screen over there.
  User Interface: No, I saw I saw the file, the smart-board that X_B_K_ but {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Oh, no. Probably is, but I don't know if the software is on the laptop {gap}. Is is {disfmarker} if it's mainly a thing for in the meeting, so I don't think it's {disfmarker} I don't know if it's important.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Project Manager: This an explanation of the smart-boards. There is a tool-bar over here. It's quite simple. You have the the pen function, eraser function. It's like a very simple uh paint application. Uh, we {disfmarker} well, we use the same file during uh the whole day, and uh you can make new sheets by uh by pu puttin pressing on the blank button. It works like this. Oh. {vocalsound} If pen is selected, yes.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Oh, no no.
  User Interface: With that pen?
  Project Manager: It's not {disfmarker} But it is pen. It's not working like a pen yet.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Project Manager: Huh. Huh.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Project Manager: It's doing some stuff now. So you can use a pen.
  User Interface: Little bit slower.
  Project Manager: You can use an eraser. And you can make new uh fi uh new blanks, and you can change uh the line width and the colour of the pen by pressing on forward, which y you have to select pen format. And then select current colour or line width. So, it's quite easy. Uh well, now you're all uh acquainted with the different tools. Right, we're gonna try out the electronic white-boards. Uh, every participant should draw his favourite animal and some of its favourite characteristics,
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: on blank sheets with different colours, with different pen widths. Uh, I'll start off then. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: I'll use this uh same sheet. Alright. Oh, let me think. Different colours. Oh.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Well, I'm gonna draw um a p piranha. Uh, a fish.
  User Interface: {vocalsound} piranha. Okay.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Mm-hmm. I'm gonna use some different colour {gap} now.
  User Interface: Oh.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Some {disfmarker} a little white. Looks like a fish. Think it is. Oh.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Oh. {vocalsound} Uh, colour. This is black? I think so.
  User Interface: Yellow {gap} {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Oh. Oh, this is just uh {vocalsound} useless uh drawings but {disfmarker}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Oh teeth. I need teeth. {vocalsound} Well, they're not supposed to be green, or whatever colour this is.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Hmm.
  Project Manager: Okay. What was uh {disfmarker} I have su to sum up its favourite characteris
  User Interface: Different.
  Project Manager: Well, I like its uh sharp {disfmarker} razor sharp teeth. {vocalsound} Plus, uh the the big uh forehead and uh a small uh, well a small actual face. And I like its overall uh aggressive look and {disfmarker} Well, that's what I like about uh piranha. I think that's kind of what uh the intention should be.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Project Manager: Well, who wants to be next?
  Marketing: Nobody, I guess. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} I will try. Yeah. I will try. Uh {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: You go, Guido? Okay. Uh, make a new sheet. Uh, it's by pressing on blank.
  User Interface: Blank?
  Project Manager: Yep.
  User Interface: Okay. Then pen again?
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yep.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Project Manager: And uh {disfmarker} so in the format menu you can choose the different uh colours and uh pen widths.
  User Interface: Okay, um {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Format.
  User Interface: {gap} control. Uh {disfmarker} Ah, purple. Um, I don't know what my uh favourite uh animal is,
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: but the easiest animal I can think is is a bird.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Uh I will {disfmarker}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} You know, I thought of that actually.
  User Interface: That's my bird. {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah?
  Marketing: Yeah.
  User Interface: Isn't it quite {disfmarker} it's a little bit light.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Uh, another colour maybe. A red one.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: A small one. Uh, line width. Two? Three. Oh that's okay. That's another one.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well, tell us something about uh your favourite characteristics of these uh particular birds.
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Ano {vocalsound} Uh {vocalsound} uh {vocalsound} it's a {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Its simplicity. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Yeah, it's uh the most simple uh animal I know, I think.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Um, I don't know. Maybe because uh there's there's some s uh free uh maybe in the sky or something like that.
  Project Manager: Oh, okay. Okay.
  User Interface: Maybe a little bit. Yeah. I don't know.
  Project Manager: Okay. No, uh it's clear.
  User Interface: So {gap} more uh birds?
  Project Manager: N no {vocalsound} no.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: We get your point. Okay. Who wants to be next?
  User Interface: {vocalsound} {gap} Okay, {vocalsound} okay, {vocalsound} okay.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah, whatever. I'll go next.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Thanks.
  User Interface: M
  Marketing: I haven't got a favourite animal too, so {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Pictionary. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Oh. {vocalsound} What should I draw?
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Oh.
  User Interface: A cow.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay.
  Marketing: Thank you,
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: I'll draw a penguin. {vocalsound} Yeah. {vocalsound} I'll draw a penguin. Whatever. I can't draw, so you can start to laugh already.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} I'll do so. {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Whatever. Something like that.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Come on.
  User Interface: Yeah, it's little bit hard.
  Marketing: Mm hmm hmm, orange.
  User Interface: Orange, of course.
  Marketing: Whatever.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh, {vocalsound} it's better than your bird.
  User Interface: {gap} Uh yeah.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Everything's better than your bird.
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah. {vocalsound} True.
  Marketing: Whatever.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Hey, it's blue. No. Whatever. Um, I like its ugliness {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: and uh {disfmarker} Yeah, whatever. The way it walks or whatever.
  Project Manager: Okay.
  Marketing: Your turn.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer:'Kay. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Drawing. {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: I'm going to draw a cat. I don't know why, but a cat is a very uh smart animal.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: And you can have them at home.
  User Interface: {gap}
  Industrial Designer: Which is not as the case with uh with bingwings and {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well, you can have a piranha at home.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Ye yes, {vocalsound} yeah. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Huh.
  Marketing: Or a line.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: A little bit. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: I mean a bird. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Yeah. {vocalsound} Don't mess with my birds, yeah.
  Industrial Designer: It's not very uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} very good drawn, but you can see a cat from it. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Hmm. It's a handicapped cat.
  User Interface: {vocalsound} {gap} cat.
  Project Manager: I don't think uh I don't think uh Darwin would agree with that. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} It's {gap} {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Ah, it's not scared. He's crying but {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {gap}. Okay.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} He's crying because it's ugl because of his ugliness.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} What do you like about it then?
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh it's i most cats are small.
  Project Manager: Oh, okay.
  Industrial Designer: You can handle them. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay. Okay. Okay,
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: and then we are uh through the tool training, I guess.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} I wouldn't call it training, but {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Okay, this is uh something about the project finance. The selling price of our remote control is gonna be twenty five Euros. And our profit aim is fifteen million Euros. We're very ambitious on this one. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: The market range is international, so it's gonna be sold world-wide, and the production cost should be a maximum of twelve Euro fifty per remote control. So that's clear. {gap} {disfmarker} Yeah?
  User Interface: Okay.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Alright.
  Project Manager: Okay, we're now gonna discuss some stuff when {disfmarker} well, we're gonna brainstorm about uh what kind of kemoro romo remote control it's gonna be. Uh, well tell me about your experiences with the remote controls. Do you have uh {disfmarker} know what good experiences with remote controls? Or do they annoy you sometimes?
  Industrial Designer: Yes.
  Project Manager: Are they difficult to understand, or maybe they don't interact with different kind of uh equipment very well?
  User Interface: Hmm.
  Marketing: I don't th I don't think the four of us got problems with remote controls,
  Project Manager: Yeah, okay.
  Marketing: but if you see elderly people, all these buttons, and then they buy new T_V_ because their previous one was stolen or whatever.
  User Interface: Different.
  Project Manager: Okay.
  Marketing: And then a totally different remote control with with different functions on different places, and half of the functions a are removed, or whatever. Uh, so I think what we need is is a clear uh remote control with uh grouped buttons, you know. All th all the buttons which apply to the text functions in in one uh {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Different functions of of uh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Well, one area or whatever, not like the button to enter text on top of the remote control and the button to um, yeah, to minimise it to this this {vocalsound} {disfmarker} or whatever o o other functions {vocalsound} totally somewhere else.
  Project Manager: Okay. Yeah.
  Marketing: I think we should group them.
  Project Manager: Okay.
  Marketing: And same for the for the volume buttons and the the t
  Project Manager: And uh, is it gonna be a remote control that's um {disfmarker} what it can be used for different kind of equipment, like your T_V_ and your home stereo?
  Marketing: Well I was I was thinking uh since a T_V_ is uh mostly used together with a V_C_R_ or D_V_D_ player or recorder, and not with a stereo, I think it should be good to include functions for V_C_R_s and D_V_D_ players, recorders.
  Project Manager: Uh {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Yeah.
  Project Manager: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But uh, the D_V_D_ players and home cinema sets often double as stereo hi-fi sets probably.
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Project Manager: It's what, from my experience.
  User Interface: But isn't it {disfmarker} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: I don't know. Hi-fi set is uh not often used uh as I know of in combination with television.
  Project Manager: Okay. But we gonna {disfmarker}
  User Interface: It's only for television, I thought. Not {disfmarker}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yes.
  Project Manager: Oh, it is only for televis
  User Interface: {gap} I thought it was only for television. So so we probably don't have to have to uh have the functions for D_V_D_ player or V_C_R_.
  Marketing: Yes, it is only for television, but uh {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: So wha what {disfmarker} What wha {vocalsound} what uh what document {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Well {disfmarker} well we we're gonna brainstorm about that. If we think it's useful, we do it.
  Project Manager: But, where where did it uh {disfmarker} Where did you find that?
  User Interface: Uh, in the email.
  Project Manager: Oh, okay.
  User Interface: I thought it said uh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: That's right. It's a television remote control.
  User Interface: Yeah, television remote control.
  Industrial Designer: Yes, {gap} {disfmarker}
  Marketing: But I was thinking since it is useful with D_V_D_ {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Yeah, but most television remote controls support other functions as well. So we can {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: Yes, that's uh something extras.
  Project Manager: No, we have to think about that.
  User Interface: True. Yeah.
  Project Manager: Okay, uh but uh we've gonna put some a uh is is it so user-friendliness, is a is a pri priority in this case, or {disfmarker}
  User Interface: True.
  Marketing: Yep.
  User Interface: Yeah, yeah.
  Industrial Designer: Yeah.
  Marketing: Yeah, also no one's gonna buy it.
  Project Manager: Okay.
  User Interface: Yeah. True.
  Industrial Designer: Only the experts. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: I guess.
  Project Manager: Well, this the maybe is uh some aspect of the {disfmarker} uh, or or some point at at which we can excel by making it very useful.
  Industrial Designer: {gap}
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Project Manager: That w Well, then you're you're the usability uh man, so this uh gonna be a very important task for you then.
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Oh my God. Okay.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah.
  Project Manager: Okay. Well, other ideas? How can we make it trendy or something? Do uh by just sh shape and the look of it?
  Industrial Designer: Uh, to go with to go with fashion and {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Maybe a can opener underneath it?
  User Interface: {vocalsound} For the bear. Uh {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} I don't know. Or someth something special, like uh M_P_ three player inside of it, or uh {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I I uh, no I think it {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Oh, well then the production costs are gonna be too high probably.
  User Interface: Uh, I th I think yo we have to keep it simple, to get a whole market.
  Marketing: Yeah, way too high. Yep.
  Project Manager: Okay. Maybe with different type of fronts or uh {disfmarker}
  User Interface: It's international, so we have to use a standard.
  Project Manager: Well, m has to be something {vocalsound} spectacular or uh one which makes it {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Well that's an idea of course, yeah.
  Project Manager: We gonna skip back to the goals probably. Uh,
  Marketing: Mm-hmm.
  Project Manager: original, trendly, and user-friendly {disfmarker} Well, we al also already talked about user-friendliness.
  User Interface: Hmm.
  Project Manager: No, well something trendy and original, well that that goes hand in hand I guess. When something is original, it tends to be trendy, probably,
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah.
  Project Manager: or we should make it combination of that.'Kay, so you {vocalsound} {disfmarker} the um technical part of the process is something you're gonna look after for, so you have to think about what kind of uh equipment you want to uh, you know, you want to manage with it. Well, and that's an important part for you then, with gogors regards to the user-friendly part of it.
  User Interface: Use friendly. Yep.
  Project Manager: Well, and you uh should look out for what makes it trendy. {vocalsound} Well, you know, y like some special feature. Or some {disfmarker} {gap} Does it does it gets some gadgetness or something.
  Marketing: Yeah. Yes, what the market wishes.
  Project Manager: Okay. Well, the closing. Next meeting starts in thirty minutes. Individual, I think so. The the Industrial Designer will w or the working design, of course, we will uh {disfmarker} Already s said that. The User Interface Designer {vocalsound} {disfmarker} is it a User Inter User Interface {disfmarker}
  User Interface: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Interface d
  Marketing: Yeah. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: the technical functions design. And the Management Expert of uh {disfmarker} the Marketing Expert. User requirements specifi Well, this one was already clear to us. Specific instructions will be sent to you by your personal coach. I don't know how much time we have left.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Oh, not many I guess. We started at twelve.
  Marketing: You just got a message.
  Project Manager: Oh, and what does it said?
  Marketing: And it said uh five minutes, so we got four and a half.
  User Interface: Oh, I don't {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: W Okay, well um {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I didn't get a message.
  Marketing: No. He's the whatever.
  User Interface: Oh, the Project Manager.
  Industrial Designer: Team Leader. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: No, we're uh ahead of schedule then.
  Marketing: Team Leader. {vocalsound} He is the whatever. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yeah, close it. I'm gonna make some minutes or take some minutes. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Okay.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yes.
  Project Manager: And uh it's it's clear you can put the stuff in the project documents presentations.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Project Manager: You can all {disfmarker} Or we're all uh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Project joc project documents is for showing uh on the white-board.
  Project Manager: Yeah. Yeah, but we're all familiar with uh uh Microsoft PowerPoint, are we?
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Project Manager: Yeah, okay.
  User Interface: Yeah.
  Marketing: Yes.
  Project Manager: I'm gonna wri uh write some stuff down
  Marketing: Alright.
  Project Manager: and then we're ready.
  Marketing: Okay.
  Project Manager: Or we can leave already {gap} I guess.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah.
  Project Manager: {gap} or uh or sh or should we uh {disfmarker} or is important that we leave at exact uh {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: No.
  Project Manager: Okay.
  Marketing: No. I don't think so.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: I don't think {disfmarker} Oh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Yes?
  Project Manager: Yes.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: Oh.
  Marketing: Great.
  Project Manager: We'll see each other in uh thirty minutes.

  Project Manager: Yeah, good luck.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: I will need it. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} I will need it. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
output: Marketing first of all suggested focusing on elderly people who really got problems with remote controls and then pointed out the unclear button allocation on remote controls. To solve this problem, Marketing put forward that the remote control buttons should be grouped based on functions they serve. Project Manager agreed.
