Curriculum Role:

Most IT projects are team efforts, and so development of skills needed to work successfully on a team is essential for IS and IT students.  This course provides an opportunity for students to integrate material from prior courses with a project that spans major phases of the IT project life cycle.  It also provides additional experience with working in teams, and a chance to deal with a large scale problem than can be addressed in a single term or by a single student.

• Outline and construct requirements and design specifications and other key IT documents
• Work effectively as a team member on an IT project
• Apply appropriate methodologies and development tools in an IT project
• Plan and execute the phases of a medium sized IT project

• Post-mortem and re-launch (1)
