All team members attended the first meeting with the customer which last approximately for an hour. The customer reiterated his project again in with more details and depth. Team 7 interviewed the customer to obtain the requirements of the project which basically is to modify & improve the current selection process that the system has. ArcStudio 3.0 only supports sequential processing and the customer requested a parallel processing to improve its processing time.
