4 - Introduction To Software Projects 20211

This document outlines the software development project for an introduction to software engineering course. It discusses forming project teams of 6-8 students, choosing a project from a list of suggested ideas, and working with a client over 4 milestones. The project will use an agile development process with sprints or iterations to develop a working software product within one semester. Regular meetings and documentation in a project management system are emphasized.

Software Engineering
4 – Introduction to Software Projects 20211

Major Objectives

• This course is about Software Engineering with focusing on how to

develop a software project by applying principles of SE

• Major component: software development project – The objective is

to develop a product for a client who intends to use it in regular
production

• During this course, the project team will work together through a full
development cycle

Project Teams

• You will work by team to develop your software project

• A project team is formed by a group of 6 to 8 students

• Evaluation over the team work as well as on individual contribution

Note: After week 1, as soon as possible, you have to form your group
and choose project

Choosing Project

• The project can be an application, system software, or even a toolkit, a

plugin or a library
• Software Engineering covers everything from smartphones to
supercomputers
• The only conditions are that there must be a real client who has to
participate to our course to evaluate assigments’ reports and
project progress
• The idea of your project comes from client, not your own
• In this semester, your teacher plays the role of your project client

• A list of suggested projects are available for 15 groups of 120 students

Milestones

The project is divided into 4 parts, each of which ends in a

milestone

• The first milestone is a feasibility report

• The second and third milestones, the team makes a presentation

and submits a progress report to the client

• At the fourth milestone, the team demonstrates the working

software and makes a presentation to the client, followed by a final
report and handover of the completed project

Overview about Software Development Project

Software development is more than writing code

Every project includes all aspects of software development:
• feasibility study
• requirements
• system and program design
• coding
• reliability and testing
• delivery
• documentation for future maintenance
• etc.

Sprint

• The project is small, about the size of an agile sprint in most

production

Sprint
• In agile terminology, a sprint is a fixed period of time during which a
team completes part of a software project
• Every sprint ends with code that is ready to put into production
• A typical sprint might have a team of 4 to 9 people working for 2 to 4
weeks
• It should be fully tested, with documentation for maintenance

Time box

Time box
• A time box is a set of period of time during which a development team
completets part of a software project
Our course:
• Time: one semester of 16 weeks (including the pausing mid-semester
week)
• Resources: The team size is fixed (6-8 students)
• Scope: The scope of the project should be determined during feasibility
study period to match with the time and resources

Team Organization

• An effective team organization makes the success of the project

• Every project should have:
• Regular meetings with the client (at least during assigment work
weeks)
• Regular team meetings
• A project plan which is kept up to date (e.g., Gantt chart)
• A project management system for code and documentation (e.g.,
Github)

Within the time box

You NEED a systematic process for developing your software project

Most projects use one of the following processes:

• Iterative refinement
• Modified waterfall model

Some projects may use

• An agile process with a sequence of short sprints
