Future Work

In the course of the year, our team came up with a lot of strong ideas. We would like to have had the time to implement all of them and create a workable software package. However, this was not possible in our short project time.

Possible future directions for MetroViz include:

• Useful improvements (e.g. automatic unit conversions
• System Interaction (e.g. pulling data from other sources)
• History (e.g. a login functionality to keep track of individual's changes)
• Apply this tool for the other departments within Pittsburgh

Other specific updates that can be made to the interface include:

• Graphs
• Add trend-line to bar charts
• Add a pie chart or other graph types
• More flexibility on editing the graph and changing the display
• Communication features
• Add contact information in metric description
• Provide functionality to email metric contacts about discrepancies or misunderstandings
• Add notes section for specific metrics
• General Improvements
• User-test and improve input and change interface
• Contextual help
• Save screen real-estate by using collapsible pallets
