Project binder is the final deliverable of the project that closes the project. As a single deliverable it should be easy assess for completeness and after acceptance it can be archived for future reference. The idea is to get rid of all the working versions of the documents and software and put all the important ones in one place.
In our small project the project binder consists of a project summary and the final software. The project summary includes all the official documents you have done for the project as appendices. Thus, your the final delivery of the project has the following parts:
1. Project Summary – the actual document to be supplied with table of contents and appendices. The appendices are the following:
2. Final software, the MS-Excel workbook.
Project binder is just a collection of the above-mentioned items that is easy hand to the customer and archive. Thus, there is not much more to say about it; the contents of the project summary are explained below.
In our project the project summary should discuss the lessons you have learned during the course, feedback about the course, and your own evaluation about your project (how many extra points you should get and why). In addition to that you should include the SQA reports (reviews and testing), user’s guide and example reports as appendices to the project summary.
As earlier, there is a Standard Project Summary Template SWE-PS-ENG.dot.
The project binder must be returned both as a printed report (the documents) and as electronic version. The deadline for returning electronic deliverable is Thursday 12.12.2002 at 12.00 (noon) via e-mail k010752000@kurssit.lut.fi. Notice that the printed documents and the electronic versions of the documents must be the same.
Printed Project Binder
You can return the printed documents during Thursday 12.12.2002 till 16.00 to the box near room 6731 (the box disappears at 4 p.m.).
Electronic Submission
The electronic submission consists of all the project documents and the final software. The documents should be packed in one (compressed) zip-file where the documents have the following names (of course, use your own name and student number):
|
Document |
Example File Name |
|
Project Summary |
0123456AbC_PS.doc |
|
Appendix 1: Project Plan |
0123456AbC_PP.doc |
|
Appendix 2: Requirements Document |
0123456AbC_RD.doc |
|
Appendix 3: Implementation Plan |
0123456AbC_IP.doc |
|
Appendix 4: SQA Reports |
0123456AbC_QR.doc |
|
Appendix 5: User’s Guide, including example reports |
0123456AbC_UG.doc |
The MS-Excel workbook is to be left outside the zip-file so that the email consists of two files, e.g. 0123456AbC.zip and 0123456AbC.xls –files.
