There will be a number of specific deli%erable items that will be created by each group and presented to the rest of the class. The group project will consist of a feasibility analysis, project workplan, use$case model, and process model for a simulated information$system project. +ach group will collect its deli%erable products into an electronic notebook. (ecause of the iterati%e nature of '1, it will be necessary to continually re%ise and update the %arious items in the notebook as the project proceeds through its se%eral steps and re%iews. The electronic notebooks will be turned in for grading at the end of the semester. +ach group will present portions of its work when called upon throughout the semester. ;andom selection will be used to decide which groups present during %arious class meetings. +ach group will present a formal summary of its work at the end of the semester, in the form of a professional -owerpoint presentation. The e%aluation of the semester project will be at the discretion of the instructor and include o%erall &uality of the deli%erable notebook, &uality and clarity of presentations, peer$re%iew results, and satisfaction of the project stakeholder.
