3. Your Class Project
Each of you will play various roles throughout the development of the class project.
If you project is sponsored or supervised by a client (customer), please work with your project supervisor/client on a development plan outlining, among other, the project scope and project plan as per the posted Development Plan template.
Assume the role of the Analysis Team to analyze gathered customer requirements and derive the Software Requirements Specifications (SRS).
Assume the role of the Design Team to derive Software Design Document (SDD).
After the class, you may assume the role of the Development Team to implement your application.

4. What is Scope Statement?
It is a description of the application to be developed. It is derived from customer meeting documents and/or system usage scenarios. Among others, it includes the followings information:
- Need/justification/background statement
- Input and output data
- Basic functionality of the system (obvious requirements)
- Constraints and limitations that may be applicable to data
and functions
- Deliverables and Project Plan (Gantt chart and timetable of
milestones and deliverables)
- Others… (see posted article “Writing a Scope Statement”)

5. Scope Statement and the Project Plan - 1
Your scope statement should reasonably and adequately describe your project system.
Scope statement information is integrated in to the Development Plan template (posted).
Some key point to keep in mind:
The problem statement describing the nature of the project should be clearly stated in the document. The solution requirements should be clearly stated.
Any assumptions about the problem should be clearly stated. Any limitations of the analysis, design, and implementation should be clearly stated.

6. Scope Statement and the Project Plan - 2
The documentation should be reviewed carefully before submission. Correct grammar, completeness, and precise description are expected. Relevant references should be included and the over all documentation should be sufficiently complete such that the project can be continued by another person/team.

7. Software Develop Plan
The Software Development Plan is our first milestone.
A revised RUB template is posted on the Project page. Full version is also posted if you choose to use it. Other templates are posted on this site:
Software Development Plan is due Wednesday 1/28/2009, any
time of the day… Please to
