SB CSE/ISE 308 Homework
Group Project Plan; What I Did
This assignment has two parts, worth 90% and 10% of the grade,
respectively. Printed/written copies of both parts are due on Thursday
Sept. 20.
Part I. Group Project Plan.
Each group is asked to write a plan for the group project. Here
are a number of items that should be included in the plan.
1. What are all the tasks that need to be performed?
Certainly this should contain all the phases from requirement analysis
to system delivery.
Orthogonally, each group is asked to divide its project into a set
of minimum functionalities / features, each as small as
possible. The goal is to enable them to be added incrementally, so
you could always have a deliverable in the shortest time possible.
2. How are all the tasks related?
This should include in particular how all the functionalites relate to
each other. Include all the dependencies. This will allow you to
schedule tasks following the dependencies, and to schedule independent
tasks to be done in parallel.
3. What all the roles of each person in the group?
Each person can take multiple roles. For learning purposes, each
person should take as many roles as possible; these can be various
different roles for producing various different features. The overall
tasks of all the members should be as balanced as possible, since
group members will get the same points for work on the group project
(except in special rare circumstances).
You could indeed take into account personal constraints. For
example, a member could do relatively less work on the week of his/her
other midterms.
4. Make a complete schedule of all the tasks.
You could have different member take care of different features
(so tasks can be carried out in parallel for independent features) or
have difference members take care the same phase of all features (so
tasks can be carried out in pipelined fashion by multiple members), or
more likely, use some combination in between these two extremes. In
all cases, make sure you give enough for putting features together and
for transition between the phases.
Make sure your plan include the activities of evaluating progress
and revising the plan itself.
The project deadline is one week before the end of classes. Plan
enough time for testing, documentation, delivery (posting on web), and
other related activities (preparing demo, preparing presentation,
etc.). You may also consult the course outline for related schedules.
The above is a set of most basic requirements that emphasize
incremental and iterative development. Your plan should be as
complete as it can reasonably be. It should include items like what
language to use for implementation, what database to use if one is
needed, whether to prototype certain features first, when to make
necessary decisions if not made yet, etc. Reference Chapter 3 of the
SE textbook for other items to be planed.
Part II. What I did.
Describe what you did for the course this week, as in Part III of
Homework 1.
Bonus.
1. Of course, your project plan needs to be based on the
project description you wrote last week. You can see now that if you
have a more precise project description, well thought out last week,
then planning is easier. If you do want to revise your project
description, then state the problem and the fix, and add them
(together with date of the addition) at the end of your project
description page. Mention this in your handin, and you will get extra
credit for improvments.
2. As in the Bonus part of Homework 1.
