[Year 12 SofDev] Criteria 8 deliverables

Tue Aug 16 13:10:34 AEST 2016

Hi,
At the risk of being mocked – or worse! – here is my “criteria” deck with tips for meeting them.

For criteria 8, I ask the students to:

-        Regularly update their Microsoft Project Gantt chart with Actual Start/ Actual Finish, % complete and baselines (“annotation”)

-        Keep a log of major project changes, milestones, reflections, etc. (“project log”)

-        And there is a section in the Evaluation Report for a “post-project review” which is common project management methodology for evaluating at the end of a project which looks at both the conduct of the project but also the project outcome

I am looking for Gantt chart and materials that are:

-        regularly updated

-        show changes as a result of new information such as criteria, deadlines, effort estimates

-        show reflection, learnings about what work will be done and how long it will take

-        reference some of the key factors that affect the effectiveness of project plans (scope control, risk management, environment changes, etc.)

Some actual examples of how the students have had to adjust their plans:

-        when we found out Sorting and a Usability test were in scope (scope change)

-        days lost due to school events (time change)

-        breaking down “Development” into more granular tasks at the start of development (task identification change)

That’s my $0.02.

Cheers, Mel

Hi all,

I was just wondering what teachers are doing for criteria 8 in terms of what work they are expecting from the students. Assessing a project plan is something I’ve never had to do.

Cheers,

Ben.
