TERM PROJECT FOR IST309 SPRING 2015
I. PROJECT PURPOSE
The project is designed to give you an in-depth teamwork experience with an information
technology, application, product, service, trend or a related topic. The requirement is to prepare a
technical paper and a 25 minutes PowerPoint-like presentation, to be given to the class, on any
information technology topic related to this course. The technical paper and presentation should
reflect the problem, the context, the current best practice, the architecture, and the state of art in
information technology.
II. PROJECT FORMAT
Teams of five students are to be formed. Each team will jointly define its project. While each
project should be an integrated team effort, i.e. there is a single deliverable; you should identify
both in your project proposal and final report what part of the project each team member is
responsible for.
Note:
This is a course in a business school and the project subject matter should be business oriented and
presented in acceptable management format, i.e., you are presenting the final project to your boss.
III. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
To ensure the quality and progress of the team work, each team need to do at least the following:
Elect a team leader and clearly define the role and responsibility of all team members.
Create a milestone/schedule for the project.
Create a form to record all the meetings held (e.g., time, date, and place of meeting, member presented, agenda discussed, etc.). These forms will be included as the appendix
of the final report.
Team peer evaluation will be conducted at the end of the semester. The results from peer evaluation will be used to assess the contributions of each member.
