Below is a directory of work, organised by each outcome/section:

SAT Preparations (pre-outcomes)

• SAT Ideas
• Software Solution Questions

U3O2

Project Plans (U3O2, 1)

The project plans have been developed and maintained using Quire, where a link to the timeline can be found here.

Unfortunately, Quire does provide ease of use, but doesn’t provide the ability to add comprehensive milestones and dependencies, so some software was developed to convert between the two, which can be found here.

This allowed for the project plan to be developed in the form of the Gantt Charts found in the Project Planning folder. Numerous changes had to be made to the timeline throughout planning, switching from Waterfall to Agile and such, which can be found in the comparison between old and new. This is documented further in the process.

• SAT Task List
• Project Timeline for PSM Prepares Gantt Chart using software that:
  • Comprehensively documents all stages of the PSM
  • Comprehensively documents all activities of the PSM
  • Does both for U3O2 and U4O1
• Gantt Chart: Documents comprehensively all relevant:
  • Tasks
  • Sequencing
  • Time Allocations
  • Milestones
  • Dependencies
  • Critical Path

Development Model (U3O2, 2)

• Documentation of Agile
  • Comprehensively documents all features of selected development model
• Justification
  • Comprehensively documents justification for selected development model

Data Collection (U3O2, 3)

• Research
  • Documents comprehensive set of relevant data for analysis using a wide range of data collection techniques

Software Requirements Specification (U3O2, 3/4)

The SRS document can be found as a formalised PDF here

• Accurately uses all features of the selected analytical tools (SRS, DFD, Context Diagrams, etc)
• Accurately depicts relationships between data, users, and digital systems in said tools
• Comprehensively documents all functional and non-functional requirements
• Comprehensively documents the technical environment and intended audience
• Comprehensively documents evidence of critical thinking via the analysis of data to determine reliability

Software Design (U3O2, 5)
