It will be clear if this project is feasible after initial testing of these technologies. \item Results of test presented on screen to clinician in initial implementation, no further management of data. \item Further development then focused on management of patient data using Southampton's database. This is currently the most significant unknown in the project due to lack of details on database format and lack of prior experience with databases, relative to other skills. \item Other data export options may or may not be possible (such as exporting to an excel file). This will be determined through parallel work on the EHS project. \item Subsequent tests will then be implemented based on priority, liaising with clinicians to determine the details of any other features that may be of use. \item An estimated final delivery of early 2020 is proposed, however this is highly dependent on unknown factors such as the database and the number of speech in noise tests to be developed. Additionally, as this project is running in parallel with both the developer's PhD work and the EHS project, other projects may need to be prioritised at times based on their progress. \end{itemize} \begin{landscape} \section*{Project timeline 1--10 months}\label{Section:Gantt} \begin{figure}[H] \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{ganttchart}[ hgrid, vgrid, time slot format=isodate-yearmonth, %progress label text= {\quad\pgfmathprintnumber[precision=0,verbatim]{#1}\%}, milestone label font=\tiny, %group label font=\tiny, %title label font=\tiny, bar label node/.style={text width=5cm,align=right,font=\scriptsize\RaggedLeft,anchor=east}, milestone label node/.style={text width=5cm,align=right,font=\scriptsize\RaggedLeft,anchor=east}, %group label node/.style={text width=3cm,align=right,font=\scriptsize\RaggedLeft,anchor=east} time slot unit=month, x unit=1.5cm, milestone/.append style={xscale=0.4} % 0.6/1.4 ≈ 0.42857 ]{2019-05}{2020-02} \gantttitlecalendar{year, month} \\ % \ganttbar[bar/.append style={dashed}]{}{2019-02}{2019-09} \ganttbar{Verify plans for implementation}{2019-05}{2019-05}\\ \ganttbar{Develop overarching framework}{2019-06}{2019-07}\\ \ganttbar{Port first test from existing implementation}{2019-08}{2019-09}\\ \ganttmilestone{Useable test ready for testing in CI center}{2019-09}\\ \ganttbar[bar/.append style={dashed}]{Integrate database}{2019-10}{2019-11}\\ \ganttmilestone{Database integrated test ready for testing in CI center}{2019-11}\\ \ganttbar{Port other tests from existing implementation}{2019-12}{2020-01} \ganttbar[bar/.append style={dashed}]{}{2020-02}{2020-02}\\ \ganttbar{Finalisation and further testing}{2020-02}{2020-02}\\ \end{ganttchart} \end{tikzpicture} \caption*{Block tasks are unlikely to change in terms of timescales; dashed tasks may change due to technical challenges that are currently unknown; diamonds represent milestones} \label{gantt} \end{figure} \end{landscape} \end{document} % ----------------------------------------------------------------
