The first draft must include “DRAFT” as part of the file name. Submit the first draft to the Group area so that all team members have access and the instructor may view the team’s progress. Refer to Part 2 below for further details. Note, the Capstone project will build and evolve over the upcoming weeks. The final Capstone project will be submitted as a Group Project in Unit 4.

Capstone Project – Informational

This part of the assignment is NOT FOR GRADING THIS WEEK. This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone project and also to show the instructor that progress is being made on the Capstone project.

Use the template provided in the section below titled “Description of Capstone Project.” Submit your Capstone project-related work to the Group submission area. Include the word “DRAFT” in the document title. Your first draft will then be available to share with your team. The first draft will also be available for your instructor to view the team’s progress.

You will be developing a comprehensive Systems Implementation Plan as your Capstone project (Unit 4 Group Project) in this course. For the Capstone project, you and your team will be expected to demonstrate project management abilities, communication skills within a multidisciplinary team, problem analysis, and the application of information technology and related best practices toward the creation of a comprehensive and cohesive solution meeting organizational and user requirements. As IT projects typically involve people with diverse IT skill sets and backgrounds, this project should mirror that real-world environment.

This Capstone project involves numerous IT areas including hardware and software, application development, networking, and security. Your team may be comprised of members who represent one or more of these IT areas. You will create and submit individual documents that propose your individual analysis during the different phases of the project. You will also need to collaborate with your team on a weekly basis to develop an overall solution that the entire team deems appropriate given the identified requirements. Typical project management methodology and skills should be employed.

Description of Capstone Project

Use the company profile and scenario found here as the subject of your Systems Implementation Plan.

As you progress through each project phase, you will add the necessary content to each section of the Capstone project document. Appropriate research and collaboration between team members should be conducted to support the multidisciplinary solution.

Download the template found here for this project. This will serve as the basis for the Capstone project for the course. Throughout the course, you and your team will develop and add content to this template. The team will add different information to this template each week. Like all projects, information will be gathered and added to the final deliverable on a weekly basis. The final deliverable will evolve throughout the course as the team works together on various elements. Submittal to the Group submission area resulting from the team effort will occur in Unit 4.
