Assignment 4 - Project Design and Development Management

This assignment asks students to design a project plan by: 1) Choosing a product to develop with computational elements and describing it briefly. 2) Defining the roles, functions, and number of team members needed. 3) Describing the development plan in detail using a provided table as a guide, addressing stages and subpoints to reach one level deeper than the table. The plan and team member definitions should co-evolve as more details are considered. The assignment requires imagination to apply knowledge from course chapters.

Overview
The overall goal of this assignment is to
get you thinking about the details of
making a project design and development
plan, and integrating the knowledge from
all the chapters into this plan.
This is the hardest assignment because it
requires extra imagination and thinking
about an object you may not have
experience with.
1. Choose a project.
Pick a product that you would like to
develop.
Maybe an object from your design notebook.
Maybe something you use in everyday life.
As always, the project should involve a
computational element.
As always, provide a short description of the
product including sketches or screen shots.
2. Define a team.
Describe by role, function, and number, the
kinds of members of a team you would need for
this project.
Role a short term or phrase
E.g. end user
Function a short description
E.g., participates as a subject in a laboratory
evaluation of the product.
Hint: roles and functions co-evolve with your
plan (part 3).
3. Describe a plan.
Describe a plan for developing your
product.
Use Table 3.1 as a guide for your plan
description.
Address each Stage, including as many if
not all of the sub-points
Your objective is one more level of detail than
in Table 3.1
Hints and More Guidelines
Steps 3 and 2 need to co-evolve
As you work out details of a plan, the need for
different team members (roles and function) will
become apparent.
As you reflect on team members, details of a plan will
become apparent.
This assignment requires a lot of imagination to
apply the information from other chapters.
I imagine that Part 3, the plan, will be 2-4 pages.
Parts 1 and 2 will be (probably) 1 page each.
