Milestone 3: Prototype, Final Report and Presentation(60%) + Project Notebook (10%)

Now that you have selected a design target for development, you will be working on a prototype to show the client the key functionality of your proposed solution. This will include prototypes of major input forms/screens, related menus and output forms/reports/screens – this should be enough to demonstrate the way in which the system is likely to work. You may render this prototype any way you want (e.g. using HTML, Visual Basic, SketchFlow, or some wireframe UI design tools), depending on what is available to your group in terms of talent and resources.

Note: The main focus here is on the visual representation of your proposed solution. You do NOT need to have a working solution.

Group Presentations

In this project, you will organise a meeting with Dough, the CIO of Canterbury Enviro-Waste (and his IT friend) during which you will present a prototype of your suggested system and recommendations. The new system will be a major undertaking for CEW so Dough is likely to invite others along to help him with the more technical parts of the presentation/ recommendations. Your team should, therefore, be prepared to address both business and technical questions.

and you only need to do that final part:(f) Prototype (Screen Shots): (Hayden)

For this requirement, the project report will include screenshots of your major input screens/menus/reports/output screen etc. – there should be enough to demonstrate the way in which the system is likely to work.

There is, therefore, no need to include shots of all screens (in most cases, around 10-15 screenshots should suffice). Screenshots can be copy/pasted into Word and submitted as an Appendix to your Final Report (this is not counted in the page limit).
