IS 613: Applied Project in Enterprise Cloud Design and Development
Contents
The goal of this term project is to collaboratively develop a software artifact to solve a real-world business problem in a student development team environment. We offer a project-based lecture with hands-on experience for enterprise cloud software development as well as general agile software development practices, lean management principles, as well as design thinking and business model innovation practices. Students will learn about innovative product and process design for software development which then can be directly applied in exercise sessions and project iterations. The used technology will depend on the students’ skills and experience. Prototypes must be developed and deployed with state-of-the-art cloud technology.
Learning outcomes
After completing the project, students will be able to:
- learn how to apply design principles for developing user centered applications,
- understand the difficulties involved in team-based software development,
- improve both product design and software engineering skills
- improve the ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively
- and use state-of-the-art software engineering methods and tools.
