This is a Team assignment.


Your Task

Your task is to demonstrate a minimal working version of your system.

For a “minimal” working system:

Extremely important: whatever functionality you demonstrate should be implemented in your core object model classes. We do not want to see a hacked-together “prototype” that looks good but internally is spaghetti code. Also, do NOT demonstrate your system components in isolation - those components should be interacting with each other, at least on a basic level.

Because this milestone involves implementing several of your most important use cases or user stories, you will need to make sure that your use cases/user stories are documented. Make sure that your project’s issue tracker has an issue for each use case, and each use case issue has a reasonably detailed textual description of the use case. You can write your use cases as full-blown use cases (see Chapter 9 of UML Distilled). The important concern is that you document the important functionality of the system from the perspective of the user. You will not receive full credit for implementing use cases unless they are documented.


The Presentation / Demonstration

Each project team should plan to present for about 45 to 60 minutes. Larger teams (with multiple sub-teams) will likely go longer than that. There will likely also be an extensive question and answer period. All presentations need to be limited to less than two hours (including the question and answer period).

You should use some presentation software such as PowerPoint or Google Slides. Your slides should contain brief bulleted points and graphics (tables, diagrams, screen captures, wire frames) that provide overall context for your bullet points. Slides should not be a “wall of text”, and please avoid reading your slides or from a prepared script.

Your presentation should include the following elements:

Please do a dry run before class. Because of the limited amount of time we have in class, we can’t wait for your team to troubleshoot issues that arise during the presentation.


Grading

Your team grade will be determined as follows:

You will also be submitting Mid-Term Peer Evaluations a few days after your presentation. See the schedule for the date. You instructor will provide the form and further details to you.
