Assignment:
In lieu of an in-person demonstration of your pilot directory service, submit your final project software files and documentation, including:
Instructions on how to install and setup the software
A step-by-step walkthrough of your software's capabilities, along with screen shots where appropriate. In other words, how would you demo this software for the client?
A plan to take this software from pilot to production
Project Overview
You will be working on a case study. The details are below.
The Client
Inisope, Inc. is the market leader in disposable dog rain coats. They come on a roll like baggies and use tabs (like diapers) to attach to the bottom of a dog's legs. They come in a variety of sizes. When you get back from the walk, you can simply throw it away with no smelly mess.
The Project
Inisope was founded by Austin Fichtner as a single person business run out of an apartment but has grown to over 2000 employees.
However, their I.T. and internal processes have not kept pace with this growth and as a result are a patchwork of different systems and workflows.
There are several opportunities for improvement but you'll need to talk to the client to find out just what they need.
The Team
Each team will consist of two members, the architect and the developer. The architect is the project lead and is responsible for project planning, budgeting, high-level design and direct contact with the client. The developer works with the architect on design details, converts functional requirements into a workable design and builds the system. As project lead you will be hiring a developer
Your goal is to produce a pilot system for the client so they can decide whether to go to production. In addition to producing the desired functionality, you will need to estimate time and costs for a production system as well as hardware and software budgets.
