Mid-term Team Project Report

Team Members: Marc Matas, Jose Alvarez, Eduardo Garcia, Simon Alelyani, Dami Bolarinwa

Stakeholders(Who are they?)

· Students taking who are in college or are planning to taking classes soon. They need to register for classes, might need help from counselors on what class, where and if they are in 4 year college, what classes while satisfy numerous requirements to possible graduate quicker. They are customers to universities and colleges.

· College Counselor who will help student with their classes and questions regarding classes and their plan to graduate on time and if possible the fastest.

· Universities will be impacted by this app. If successful, this will reel in a bunch of new traffic to their schools, which will then bring $.

· To get input from the stakeholders, we will conduct a survey. With questions regarding the current state right now, for example how students feel when deciding what class to take and where. If we see the results clearly show that this app will benefit we will go ahead. This will go for Universities. For counselors, it will also be a survey, but more focus on questions regarding if they feel confident and having the resources to help student and lead them to right direction.
