ITC306 Project Preparation (8)

Abstract

This subject is the first step in your major IT project within the systems, management and network development area. Work started in this subject is continued and completed in the linked subject ITC308. This subject, and its linked subject, cover the practical application of a project management methodology in the development and delivery of a major project. In this subject, students will be working in teams to produce a project proposal, and define the system architecture and modelling. A major milestone of this subject is delivery of a prototype to demonstrate technology suitability and functionality before proceeding with the project in ITC308.
