week 1
The Capstone Project Requirement
In this course, you will be working every week on a project which showcases the knowledge and skills you have gained while in the Information Systems program. We will be looking to see that you demonstrate all the outcomes of the program. At the end of the course, you will submit a project paper, do a video presentation AND demonstration, and submit all documentation associated with your project (files, databases, etc.). The project completed in this course should be of such quality that you could show the work to a future employer or client.
This week there are two issues to consider:
You will choose a software development, database, web design, or networking project based on the criteria noted below. The project should solve a real world problem. There are many ways in which you can come up with an idea for a project. For instance, you can reach out to a non-profit organization to see if they have an information systems problem which they need solving. You may also identify a project at your place of employment. It is imperative, however, that you do the work by yourself.
Throughout the project, you will implement the typical systems analysis and design steps. In week 1, you will submit your proposal for approval by the instructor and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. In weeks 2 through 5, you will develop the project idea and do the design, development, and implementation. In week 6, you will do testing of your implemented project. In week 7, you will finalize your project, make any improvements which resulted from the test phase, and develop a plan for delivery and maintenance of the system. Your paper, presentation, and demonstration will conclude the course in week 8. Throughout the project, you will need to consider the ethical, legal, social, professional, and local and global issues surrounding your project.
This week, you need to come up with a project proposal using the provided template. All proposals must include the following:
- A description of the problem. Explain why the project is necessary. A discussion of the current workflow.
- An analysis of alternative solutions.
- A description of the proposed solution and how it impacts the workflow.
- Identification of the project stakeholders.
- A definition of the scope of the project that will be addressed in the next seven weeks.
