<p>This is the first of two IT capstone project units. This unit is an opportunity to apply and develop your skills and knowledge to work on an authentic industry IT project. You will work in teams, meet with clients, develop a project vision and produce deliverables that result in value and benefit your client. The project will be continued into ITECH3209 Project 2. Students must demonstrate an understanding of the IT industry, and particular processes, methods and techniques that can be applied to create their project outcomes. Students will reflect on their own development as a emerging IT professional and the skills they have developed during their project.</p>

<p>This unit provides students with an opportunity to work on an industry-based project of significant size, based on their prior study in Information Technology. Students will work on projects in teams of four to five students, although the unit coordinator may make adjustments to team size based on enrolments or other exceptional circumstances. Each project will have a client and an allocated supervisor. In this unit, students will adopt agile industry practices and procedures to coordinate work together toward outcomes that deliver value to their client and work toward realising the project vision. The supervisor and unit coordinator will provide guidance in terms of major milestones to help students plan and manage their project. The unit coordinator will approve the project scope.
