input: What attitude did Project Manager hold towards potential cost pressure with regard to infra-red?
  Project Manager: So uh good morning.
  User Interface: Morning.
  Marketing: Morning.
  Project Manager: I see you all find your places.
  Industrial Designer: Morning.
  Project Manager: Is everybody sitting on the right place? Yeah?
  Marketing: Yep.
  Project Manager: I guess so. So {disfmarker} Let's see. First I will introduce myself. I don't know if uh {disfmarker} if everybody knows me, so I'm Bart,
  Marketing: My name's Frank.
  Project Manager: hello. Hello.
  User Interface: I'm {gap}.
  Project Manager: Bart. Hello. Hello. Bart.
  Industrial Designer: {gap}
  Project Manager: Welcome.
  Marketing: Thank you.
  Project Manager: Uh let's see. Uh let's start off um with a little presentation. Uh Now first I'll tell you a little bit about the setting. You can see there are a few cameras here. They'll record uh our actions and you'll have wires and microphones that will record your voice. Uh there are also some microphones there but th um you don't have to pay a lot of attention on those, because it will uh disappear when you don't attend to it. So is there a project documents folder? There are some notes in it already I see, some documents. Uh I'll start with the presentation kick off. Is being modified by the administrator. Uh okay {vocalsound}.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Hmm, that's interesting.
  Project Manager: Let's do it read only. Well I don't know if you've noticed, but uh we're working for Real Reaction. Uh it's a company in uh electronics. We put fashion in electronics, uh we make it work, uh we put a lot of effort in design and in the product itself. I'm Bart {gap} the project manager so I'll direct you through the project. This is our agenda. {vocalsound} Uh we have our opening acquaintance, tool training, project plan description closing.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh maybe I can sit down, then I can take some notes or {disfmarker} Let's see. Maybe you can take the minutes once in a while.
  Marketing: Sure.
  Project Manager: I dunno it's not a lot of work, but just uh if you hear something uh you can write down, just write it down. Uh as you can see uh it's the opening, aquaintance tool training. Aquaintance is a point we've done a bit. Um have you all seen the corporate website already? Yeah.
  User Interface: Yep.
  Marketing: Yep. Visit it.
  Project Manager: Have you seen any flaws in it? I think I found one. {vocalsound} No?
  User Interface: Hmm?
  Marketing: Can't say I paid much attention to it,
  Project Manager: I can see if it works this way. No, it doesn't work here.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Okay no problem. But um on the corporate information side there's a th uh {disfmarker} there was Real Remote instead of Real Reaction.
  Marketing: Oh yeah.
  Project Manager: Real Remote is not really the company we're {disfmarker} we are, but it's just a little {gap} fault.
  User Interface: Okay. Yeah.
  Project Manager: Um okay, what are we going to do? {vocalsound} Uh our project aim is as you can see a new remote control. It has to be original, trendy, and user friendly. So these are uh the points why uh we also hired you. {vocalsound} We've got the Marketing Expert for uh the trendy and user friendly look.
  Marketing: Okay.
  Project Manager: And Industrial Designer uh there's also user friendly and a bit original. {vocalsound} And we've got our User Interface Designer.
  User Interface: Yep.
  Project Manager: He's also uh {disfmarker} That's about the new remote control. Uh project method um is uh there are three phases we are going through. First is functional des uh design, individual work, meetings. After the functional design, then the conceptual design and the detailed design. {vocalsound} I had some role indications on here. But I think you know it already by yourself. The Industrial Designer is going to work on the working design, uh components design and a bit of the look and feel design. Uh the User Interface Designer is going to do the technical function design, user interface concept and user interface design. {vocalsound} And the marketing expert is doing a little bit of user requirement specification, trend watching and project {disfmarker} uh product ev evaluation. So that's a bit what you're going to do. But that will be all worked out in uh other meetings.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Then we've got our first tool training. {vocalsound} We are going to work with a lot of high-tech tools here, so it's ab it's handy if we have a little bit of training first. As you can see we've got the smart boards here and here in the white board. Um in the white board here there's a little tool bar on this side. Here are some functions. You can save. N uh these functions we don't have anything to do with, only undo, you can undo a little uh piece of drawing. A blank new document for each person. Uh select a pen, eraser. Capture we don't have to do anything with. Uh then we've got our pen. This pen. It's really funny because you can draw with it on this page um in the {disfmarker} think it is form of.
  Marketing:'Kay.
  Project Manager: You can also select the current colour and the line width. But then first you have to select the pen function.
  User Interface: Hmm.
  Project Manager: But we're going to work with it in a minute. So okay. Uh that's very simple and it's easy to uh draw your findings and drawings on there. {vocalsound} Uh then a short thing about documents. We've got our shared folder, project {gap} project {disfmarker} what was it? Project documents {gap} I think. But all you will found that already because there are a lot of documents in it already, so it will be okay. And these are available on the smart boards as well, so if you have a document you wanna show, just open it from the folder.
  User Interface: Okay. Yeah.
  Project Manager: Here is a simple tool bar. It's what I just said, it's save, print, move back or forward one page. You can switch between the different drawings. And then we're going to try out the white board.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} So as you can see we g all {vocalsound} going to draw a animal. {vocalsound} Just to uh uh just to get a bit familiar with it.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Mouse wasn't running away. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: That was interesting.
  Project Manager: Is everybody {disfmarker} is anybody playing with the mouse? No.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Innocent.
  Project Manager: Okay. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: We're going to uh draw animal. {vocalsound} And uh just sum up a few of its favourite characteristics.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Um the only thing we have to uh look after is that we use different colours, and different line width.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh there's {disfmarker} I can start from now. I will. You can use this pen by holding it like a like a little child. Because if you hold it like this, the sensors will get blocked and then the drawing won't get good.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Marketing:'Kay.
  Project Manager: Another thing is you have to be uh a bit slow.'Cause if you're going to draw like really fast then um the pen won't hold up. So we choose form of current colour uh I think grey is appropriate. Then the line width. I think seven will be nice. Now you'll see my drawing capabilities.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: These are not very much, but uh {disfmarker} Uh, see you have to do it real slow. {vocalsound} Oh {gap}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Sure.
  Project Manager: Ah I was trying to draw a dolphin,
  User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: but I think his nose has to be a little bit {disfmarker}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: But it's close.
  Marketing: I'm thinking about a swordfish.
  Project Manager: So what {disfmarker} yeah it's {disfmarker} this is bit of the swordfish.
  User Interface: Yeah. Yeah.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yeah, he hasn't got an eye.
  User Interface: {gap} {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm.
  Project Manager: Woah. {vocalsound} Now we've got another function. We've got the eraser.
  Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} And then you can undo this easily.
  Marketing: Meat.
  Project Manager: Ah it's okay.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: And I've got to write down a few of its characteristics. Uh is {disfmarker} They've got no text tool, no. Uh. {vocalsound} Okay.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: This is typically a undo action, I think. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Yeah. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Pen. Maybe you have to hold it a bit upside-down. I think that's it because if you wan ar are going to do it like this then it will be a stripe. But I don't know, I'm just trying. {vocalsound} {vocalsound} This is not my work,
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: okay.
  Marketing: Hmm.
  Project Manager: Maybe you have to use {disfmarker} Oh.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Uh. I think it's a {disfmarker} it wants to draw a {disfmarker} another animal? I don't know. It lives for the fun. So {disfmarker} It's my characteristic uh characteristic about the dolphin. It lives for the fun. So now I'm gonna hand over the pen on the new blank sheet to you.
  User Interface: Okay.
  Marketing: Okay. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Go ahead.
  Marketing: Thank you. Okay. Gonna use a different line width. And I'm gonna draw in black. There.'Kay, I'm not much of an artist, but here we go.
  Project Manager: Maybe it's easier to draw the smaller line width, I think. Because this is going a lot better than uh I did.
  User Interface: Hmm.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: A sheep.
  Marketing: Mm.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: This is my um {disfmarker} Hmm. Sheep.
  Project Manager: It's nice. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: With of course
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh.
  Marketing: little blue dot they always get sprayed on their butts.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} It's a real dead sheep,
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: There.
  Project Manager: yeah. {vocalsound} For recognition,
  Marketing: Yeah. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: yeah, I see. {vocalsound} Um maybe you can also write your name somewhere.
  Marketing:'Kay.
  Project Manager: On just a {disfmarker}
  Marketing: They are {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Come on. You have to go really slow when you're writing.
  Project Manager: Yeah.
  Marketing: They're brilliant animal animals.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  Marketing: And that's just a little me thingy. So. Guess I'll pass the pen to our User Interface Designer.
  Project Manager: Nice.
  User Interface: Okay. Um I'm just gonna draw its uh head, but mm {disfmarker} Let's see. Mm. Uh. {gap} Okay. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sweet. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah.
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Interesting.
  User Interface: You know what that is? Or who?
  Industrial Designer: Garfield.
  Marketing: A rabbit?
  User Interface: Ah okay, yeah.
  Marketing: Garfield. Yeah.
  User Interface: Just a {disfmarker} Mm. Guess. So uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Yeah. That's enough. {vocalsound} Um, you say a blank,
  Project Manager: Yeah, just a blank sheet.
  User Interface: or {disfmarker} Okay.
  Industrial Designer: Well I was gonna draw a cat too, so.
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: I'll just try something else.
  Project Manager: No. {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: Something different than Garfield.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: Mine is a bit more skinny. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Yeah, it's pretty skinny cat. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Yeah. {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} But uh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: And the most interesting tail.
  Project Manager: Is your cat, or did you find him on the street? {gap} {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Well, it's supposed to be a cat. I like cats because uh they are uh independent.
  Project Manager: Ah. {vocalsound}
  Industrial Designer: The pen. So.
  Project Manager: Okay. That's pretty clear. So everybody knows how to work with the white board now? So if you have any ideas or if you wanna draw anything on the white board, just ask
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Industrial Designer: The pen. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: and go ahead. It's pretty uh easy.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound}'Kay.
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: S {gap}
  Marketing: We're being haunted.
  Project Manager: haunted white board. {vocalsound} So we've got the tool uh introduction. We move along to the project finance.
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: Um as you can see, we um for our remote control, a selling price is uh twenty five Euros. Our selling price. Uh our profit aim is fifty million Euros. Uh that's the least we have to get from our remote controls, so we have to work together to reach our aims. Uh we can do it international, so we have to focus on different kind of users, different kind of cultures, and different kind of trends as well. Um but that's all in the later stadium. Our production cost um can be maximal twelve and a half Euros, so that's also a point we have to keep in mind, that we won't make remote controls with small televisions inside, and stuff like that. It won't work. So just try to remember these points. Selling price twenty five, profit aims fifty million um, but more important is the int international market we're trying to focus on. And production cost uh maximal twelve and a half Euros. So that's leads us to our little discussion. We've got about five or ten minutes left for discussion. So I'm gonna sit down, I think. It's easier.
  Marketing: Yeah, you got a message.
  Project Manager: I've got a message. Five minutes. Okay,
  User Interface: Five minutes, okay.
  Project Manager: that's uh good timing. {vocalsound} {gap}
  Marketing: So just on a side note, why is it my laptop is only giving me a black screen?
  User Interface: Mm?
  Project Manager: Uh maybe you have to say the magic word. {vocalsound}
  User Interface: {vocalsound}
  Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah. Right.
  Project Manager: Does it do anything?
  Marketing: No.
  Project Manager: Maybe you have to just clap it down? Mm back up again. No slide show. Hmm.
  Marketing: It's off now.
  Project Manager: It's off. Now you have to put it back o Oh yeah. You'll be okay, I think.
  Marketing: Well, it was on, but {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Well it's those laptops. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Ah, there we are.
  Project Manager: Nice. Okay. {vocalsound} But so mm does everybody has um experiences with uh remote controls, and I mean not the ordinary mote controls, but also a little bit different ones? Like you can use for other?
  Marketing: {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Mm. Oh really?
  Project Manager: No?
  User Interface: Huh.
  Project Manager: You? {vocalsound}
  User Interface: It's a {disfmarker}
  Industrial Designer: No, me neither.
  Marketing: Well, we have a kind of broad T_V_ at home, and a D_V_D_ player, so we got like a lot of remote controls, one for the T_V_, one for the video recorder, one for the D_V_D_ player.
  Project Manager: Ah yeah.
  Marketing: And I think it's {disfmarker} it would be best to just make one remote control that can operate them all.
  Project Manager: Yep. Yeah
  User Interface: Sure. Yeah.
  Project Manager: I've I've got one at home. And you can uh program I think eight different devices in it, and you can use it for your television, anything else.
  User Interface: Okay, yeah. Yeah.
  Project Manager: And it also operates on infra-red, so you have to got the little device inside your room, and then you can operate it from the third or th or second floor.
  User Interface: Okay, yeah.
  Marketing: Oh
  Project Manager: So that's pretty handy when you have a video recorder or D_V_D_ player downstairs and you've got a link to your T_V_ on the second floor. So that's a pretty handy um
  Marketing: really.
  User Interface: Hmm. Oh. Mm-hmm.
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Project Manager: thing. {vocalsound} Um but only the I think that if you can put different kind of devices in one remote control, it makes it a lot easier as well. It's uh {disfmarker}
  Marketing: Yeah.
  User Interface: Oh.
  Project Manager: That's good to remember.
  Marketing: So I think you can take minutes again.
  Project Manager: Yeah, that's nice, I think. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Since it's your job.
  Project Manager: So we've {disfmarker} we want different functions
  Marketing: Yeah.
  Project Manager: uh and we can maybe see if we can do something with the infra-red. But I don't know if that will exceed the production costs. So that uh that's something we have to find out, I think.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Marketing: Yeah. But that would be really good if we could do that. {vocalsound}
  Project Manager: And other functions for a remote control? Maybe we can make it uh uh
  User Interface: Mm-hmm.
  Marketing: Um. Think it has to be shock proof
  User Interface: Sure, yeah.
  Marketing:'cause
  Project Manager: Shock proof.
  Marketing: my remote control tends to fall a lot.
  User Interface: Waterproof, or uh {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sure.
  User Interface: Uh, you never no know uh,
  Marketing: So {disfmarker}
  User Interface: I w I mean uh {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Waterproof. Okay. So these are our um a few things we can think of. Um I will put the minutes from this meeting uh in our project folder.
  User Interface:'Kay.
  Marketing: Yeah, one other little thing. Thought it might be handy to put a battery status display on it.
  Project Manager: That's a {disfmarker}
  Marketing: So you can see
  Project Manager: battery stays.
  User Interface: Okay, yeah.
  Marketing: how much is left in the battery. But they'll also really drag up the production costs, so think we'll have to see about that too.
  Project Manager: Yeah.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Project Manager: Uh.
  Marketing: But maybe just a little LED, I don't know.
  Project Manager: That's an idea as well. Other ideas? Quick ideas.
  Industrial Designer: Nope.
  User Interface: Mm.
  Industrial Designer: They were all mentioned,
  Project Manager: Okay.
  User Interface: Yeah.
  Industrial Designer: so {disfmarker}
  Project Manager: Any questions about this uh presentation? Kick off presentation.
  Marketing: Um. Nope, don't think so.
  Project Manager: No?
  User Interface: {gap}
  Project Manager: Okay, then I'll put the minutes from this meeting in the project folder, and then we can all work. Finish meeting now. {vocalsound} Okay. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Okay.
  Project Manager: And we can all work uh on our own projects. {vocalsound}
  Marketing: Aye sir.
  Project Manager: Okay then I'll meet you in about a half an hour, I think.
  Marketing: Half an hour.
  Industrial Designer: Okay.
  Project Manager: So good luck. {vocalsound} {vocalsound}
  User Interface: Okay.
  Marketing: Okay.
  User Interface: Yep.
output: When Project Manager proposed the application of infra-red, he himself admitted the risk of exceeding target cost. The same concern over battery status display was expressed by Marketing. Hence, he agreed to find out a specific cost before decision-making, with Marketing implying that he wanted it to be applied if possible.
