Week 4: Mock-ups, Use Cases, and Milestone 2
Last week, our team focused on preparing and presenting our Milestone 2 presentation on 18 March 2026. The goal of this week was to turn the results of our previous analysis into clearer and more practical project artifacts.
Milestone 2 Presentation
A major part of the week was dedicated to preparing the Milestone 2 presentation. During it, we presented the current state of the DETI Maker Lab project, summarized the most important requirements, and explained the proposed system architecture. We also showed the progress already achieved so far.
This presentation was an important step because it helped us organize our work into one clear and consistent vision of the system.

Mock-ups and Use Case Diagram
We also worked on mock-ups and the use case diagram. The mock-ups helped us better visualize how users will interact with the platform and how the main workflows should look in practice.
At the same time, the use case diagram allowed us to structure the most important interactions between users and the system, especially around project creation, equipment requisitions, approval, and returns.
These artifacts made the project more concrete and helped connect the requirements with the future implementation.
Why This Week Mattered
This week was important because it allowed us to transform earlier analysis into more visual and presentation-ready results. Preparing the presentation, mock-ups, and use case diagram gave us a better understanding of the system and helped us communicate our solution more clearly.
Next Steps
In the coming days, we plan to continue refining the architecture, improving the interface, and moving further toward a working proof of concept, including the integration with authentication, the database, and Snipe-IT.
