Project Overview/Scope Project Overview: We will develop a content management system for the Sports Club Council that can be accessed via the World Wide Web. Project Scope: Our client had asked us to recreate the Sports Club Council’s website with a better feel and more functionality. The updates to the site include: - Login for each club - Interactive Calendar that displays events - The ability for users to submit articles and posts - Photo Gallery which has been organized by club then date - List of all clubs included in the Sports Club Council (including officer information of officers that make up Sports Club Council) as well as links to the individual sports clubs - Links to various forms used by the Sports Club Council (Such as Sports Club Handbook and Fundraiser form)

The first step in any software process is the Planning Phase. During the Planning Phase our team: - Met with our client, Mr. Ridpath - Asked what Mr. Ridpath wanted from the new website - Looked at all the possible complications that could occur during the process - Identified all the resources of our particular project - Identified all the risks involved with our project and solutions to fix them or make sure they do not happen - Figured out what we would be able to accomplish in Joomla! - Researched various possible plug-ins for Joomla! - Wrote out a schedule of how we would complete various parts of the content management system Software Development Process: Planning

Once we were finished with the Planning Phase we moved into the Requirements Phase. In the Requirements phase, the CodeWalkers: - Wrote out all of the requirements of the project along with their importance, risk factors, and other requirements each depend on. - Checked different scenarios that would be the best and worst for the site - Drew out models of how the content management system will work with internal and external components - Updated schedule to how much had been accomplished by this time Software Development Process: Requirements

After the Requirements phase is the Design Phase. In this phase we: - Mapped out what each requirements functionality would do and how it would appear on the site - Took screenshots of in-progress content management system - Described conceptual view of the system through an architectural context model as well as a process model - Updated schedule based on what had been completed and what still needed to be completed Software Development Process: Design

User’s Requirements: - Calendar that shows different club events - News Posts on main page - Articles - More Organized Photo Gallery - Follows Radford Color Scheme Challenges: - Using new Joomla! 1.6 without any previous experience - Learning how to implement and work with Joomla! and Joomla! plugins - Team member could have been sick or unable to make a meeting. - Making sure everything the client requested was possible in the time provided. Lessons Learned: - Use and operate Joomla! Properly document steps of software engineering process - Manage different stages of the software engineering process Project Challenges and Lessons Learned

Project Demo We will be demonstrating: CLUB USER FUNCTIONALITY : Editing a Calendar Event Adding a Post Uploading a photo

Conclusion Possible Enhancements: - Article Sections and Photo Gallery must be updated for every club added or deleted (may be possible to make automated) - Updates for components - Being able to upload videos - Having cycling current news photos, that will display recently added pictures
