<p>This is the second of two IT capstone project units. In this unit, students will work in teams to complete an authentic industry IT project begun in ITECH3208 Project 1. You will continue to follow an agile approach to development and negotiate with your client and other stakeholders to agree on deliverables. This is an opportunity to refine your knowledge and skills from previous units and experience aligned with professional expectations and good practice. You will have a chance to apply higher level professional standards such as SFIA and CBOK to your project needs to create and deliver outcomes that benefit your client. You will be expected to independently seek out industry events such as seminars, workshops and expos and use industry sources to build upon your knowledge and support your project work. This is an opportunity to develop and reflect on your professional experience to date and to broaden your understanding of the IT industry. </p>
