Assessment item 1 Project Scope Value: 10% Due date: 20-Mar-2016 Return date: 13-Apr-2016 Submission method options Alternative submission method Task You are to prepare the project scope and initial requirements and assumptions for a new Interface Design project for a SMART Home Heating control panel as outlined in the SMART Home Heating Problem case study. You are to prepare a Project Brief for this project. The project brief will set the basis for the rest of your assignment work in ITC504. You should approach this project as a "blue sky" project. That is, you are going to design and develop an interface that is different to those that you have previously worked on. This means that your planning will necessarily be somewhat more diffident as you will be doing research during the planning and design process to achieve your design aims. Your project brief should include the following sections: 1. Overview 2. Vision 3. Scope 4. Outcomes 5. Key assumptions 6. Objectives, Outputs and Targets 7. Success Criteria The project brief should concentrate on the Overview, Vision, Scope, Outcomes and Key Assumptions at this stage. These sections define your vision for the project and should be reasonably well developed. The Objectives and Success Criteria may not be well known at this stage, but some effort should be made to determine what they are. These will be added to later in the project. Your project brief is NOT to exceed 2 pages in length. Assessment item 2 Project Design Proposal Value: 25% Due date: 17-Apr-2016 Return date: 10-May-2016 Submission method options Alternative submission method Task Your project brief has been accepted by Senior Management and a design project has been formally commenced. You have been appointed as both Project Manager and Chief Designer for the project. Your tasks are to: 1. Update your project brief with full details of: 1. Objectives, Outputs and Targets, 2. Success Criteria. 2. Write a Project Design Proposal that covers the following: 1. Design aims; 2. Outline of the proposed design; 3. Outline of the main Use Cases; 4. Proposed evaluation methods. Your first task updates your initial project document. The update should now reflect the complete user requirements and your objectives, outputs and targets for the project. This update will probably not exceed two (2) pages. The Project Design Proposal should outline firstly your design aims for the project and how they will meet the user requirements. You should give a brief outline of your design. This should be mainly written, rather than be drawn, and you should describe HOW your design will enhance the user experience (UX) of the user while meeting their requirements. You will also need to refer to design principles to support your argument. Finally, you need to discuss how you will test your design for usability, UX, and the interface's fit to the requirements. Again you will want to support your argument with reference to principles. You do not need to produce a full test plan at this time. Your Project Design Proposal should NOT exceed three (3) pages, excluding references. You will need to reference all literature using the APA 6th edition referencing style.
