Description
Project 1 is a capstone course focusing on the requirements, analysis and design phases of the development of information systems using an iterative process, such as the Unified Process (UP). The later phases of testing and implementation will only be considered as part of a simple proof-of-concept prototype. You will work in a team to experience the system development process.
The aim of the course is to bring together skills acquired on previously studied information systems courses (see prerequisites). You will work in a group to experience the system development process from requirements gathering through to software implementation. The vehicle for the practical component is a service-oriented specification and design of a non-trivial information system which will be undertaken by teams.
The choice of business application will be negotiated by the student group with their consulting academic, who will provide ongoing supervision and guidance through regular meetings. The system development practical work will include requirements analysis, system design and proof-of-concept prototype implementation. To achieve the objectives of the course the concepts, principles and approaches are reinforced by workshops on related topics and information on the implementation platform that would enable a prototype implementation with minimal amount of coding.
