IT Development Project

This is a group project course which will expose students to all aspects of project development. Students work in teams to design, develop, manage, and deliver an IT software application project to an external (real or simulated) client. They will have opportunities to practice project management, documentation, meeting and presentation skills. Students will employ the practical and theoretical concepts obtained during their studies by building an IT system. They will work as part of a development team on an IT problem for an external industry client. The project will include the production and demonstration of the functioning components of the system for each release within deadlines set out in the project management documentation. Students will then present the final product to the client and other stakeholders. As contributors to a computer system development project, students will prepare for and participate in project meetings, prepare project management documentation, adapt project management processes as required, manage progress using project management techniques and manage storage of project documentation.
