PROJECTS

Brief description

Students will conduct a systems analysis project by performing 3 phases of SDLC (planning, analysis and design) for a small (real or imaginary) organization. The actual project implementation is not required (i.e. No coding required.) They need to apply what they have learned in the class and to participate in the team project work.

GENERAL POINTS

Groups will be created in the blackboard where members of each group can share ideas

A single submission is enough; therefore, each group should have a leader to do this job. Two templates will be given to students to use them in the project work
