Assignment 7 - Final Project Initial Design

In this assignment, you will be making your gameplan to complete your Medium Fidelity prototype. That is, what tools will you be using to create an actual working prototype of your system.

Final Project Initial Design

This stage in the design process is the final step before you would touch any code.

• First list any changes made after the previous assignment from your in-house usability test.
• Decide your technology stack: List what tools you will be using and at least one url along with that tool you can look to for help. If you cannot find at least one link, then chances are that is not a good tool to use.
• List which functionality scenarios you are going to implement and test.
• Delegate: Write a list (and agree) of who is going to do what for the following tasks. I have listed a few as a sample, your project may have more or less. One, multiple or all people may be assigned to tasks. An example list follows:
  • Administer the test with subjects (This includes distributing any pre-surveys, reading any documentation, and collecting user information).
  • Implement the system (Who is your go-to technology person).
  • Design (Who is your go-to designer)
  • Data Analysis (Who is primarily responsible for drawing conclusions from the given data).
• Timeline: Propose a timeline for when you will complete each step. Your timeline should run until PS 9 is due.

Change Log, Guidelines, and update

Provide a list of changes if you have made any (If you did the radical revision, then your log will be empty). Also spend time updating your guidelines document from the previous assignment. If you have made any major changes in your assignment, include a brief paragraph or bulleted list as well.

Assumptions

Throughout your assignment, state any assumptions that you may have. In each catagory, the goal is that this is self-evident, but you may add additional information as you see fit.

Organization

Please use bulleted lists and tables where appropriate. Start to think of your deliverables as a blueprint, such that another team in the class could follow along with your project. Use pictures, video, and add elements as you see appropriate. Be sure to cite all references!

Grading Rubric and Submission

You will submit your homework as a pdf on Blackboard for the CS 5340 course. Please do not e-mail me your submission. You may use tools like Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or Libre Office to generate .pdf files for submission.

The following rubric will be used to evaluate your work:

• 20 pts: Change list from previous assignment
• 20 pts: Technology stack list
• 20 pts: Functionality list
• 20 pts: Delegation list
• 20 pts: Timeline
