Milestone 0 - Project Proposal
In this stage of the project, develop a formal proposal for a software application you would like created. Your team will consist of two to three individuals.
Project Proposal
This document will be written in a word Document named project-proposal.docx
. You can download the template document here. The goal is to provide specific details about the project that will be developed over the course of the semester. The project-proposal.docx
document must include:
- your company name
- the application name
- at least 300 word explanation of the project including:
- a CLEAR and DETAILED explanation of the applicaction
- what is the core goal/purpose of the application
- what are the current problems/challenges related to the domain of your application
- who will be the intended audience of the application
- age, profession, etc.
- no less than 5 specific proposed features
- Features should revolve around the goal/purpose of the application
- Each feature will described as unique high level functionality
- Examples features that would only count as one feature:
- saving a file in multiple formats
- displaying data (height, weight, species, age, etc.)
- creating, editing, and deleting something
- etc. (When in doubt, ask me.)
- a CLEAR and DETAILED explanation of the applicaction
The project proposal will AVOID:
- discussion of specific technologies or platforms
- No discussion of Mobile/Web/Desktop, C#, Python, SQL, etc.
- dicsussion of backend implementation details
- discussion of specific interface design
- No discussion of buttons, menus, animations, color, etc.
- the project domain of game development
- Video game design has overlap with concepts we discuss, but as our focus is user interface design, there will be a large amount of design concepts within game development that are outside the scope of this course.
- If you do have an idea for a video game with a very strong UI component you can talk with me about it BEFORE the proposal deadline. Do not assume that this means permission will be granted to pursue the project idea and have a back-up ready.
Submission:
Submit your project-proposal.docx
to Moodle. Failure to upload the assingment to Moodle will result in a zero.
- 10 points - Proposal meets the above requirements and provides a clear and specific explanation of the project and proposed features
