Agenda Project Overview Process Requirements Process Challenges Downfall: Current System Features: New System Reflections Future Goals Questions

Project Overview The RIT Online Learning department is in need of an online peer evaluation system that can enhance the collaborative learning experience. Currently, peer evaluation is supported by the use of online surveys provided by the RIT Clipboard system, which is difficult to setup and lacks good reporting functionality.

Current System Clipboard ( Survey System Hard to setup Can’t deploy evaluations per group Reporting does not show group weaknesses Not integrated with myCourses No control over who takes the survey

Current System: Reporting

Solution Integrated with myCourses –Login Pass-through –Course and Group Data Imported directly from myCourses Setup Workflow –Tailored for peer evaluations Question Templates –Reusable –Shared between Instructors

Solution: Setup

Solution Reporting –Multiple levels of detail –Sorted by groups or individuals –Quickly identify problem groups

Solution: Reporting

Process: Scrum Scrum Methodology: –The whole project will be delivered in chunks depending on the requirements prioritization. Development team will split the whole project into sprints. On an average the team would deliver each sprint within 2 to 3 weeks. Scrum Team: –Cross-functional comprised of Scrum Master, Developers, QA-Tester, UI Designers etc.

Risk Mitigation Plan Use of Scrum *User Feedback Deployable Deliverable (At the end of each Sprint) Increased Product Visibility Increased Progress Visibility –Sprint Planning Through many sprints the requirements will be revised many times to ensure that clarity is achieved. Throughout every sprint, each decision will be evaluated to make sure that it aligns with the overall goals of the project. The team will undergo many team building events as deemed necessary by the team.

Revision Control Subversion for revision control –Include all project documents Trac provides web based management –View files and Changesets Automated synchronization of project documents to web site Provides an integrated bug tracking system

Metrics Backlogs –Product –Sprint *Capture the hours required to develop and test a given feature. *Total numbers of hours per sprint Number of tasks completed for a particular sprit (Work effort distributed for each sprint) Number of open bugs Total effort (man hours) for all phases

Requirements Process Mainly elicited by: –In Person Interviews Project Sponsors Subject Matter Experts Online Learning Technical Staff –UI Mockups –Evaluating RIT Clipboard Peer Evaluation Templates
