Overview
Building upon the unit IFB398 Capstone Project (Phase 1), this unit gives you the opportunity to apply, under appropriate guidance, the knowledge and skills gained in your course to date to execute the completion of a planned project. In this unit you will apply your disciplinary and professional knowledge and skills to refine and extend the existing deliverable. You will use appropriate quality assurance techniques to ensure you are meeting your stakeholders' needs. You are expected to work professionally in a team to deliver a high quality outcome to project stakeholders. The final product is to be delivered as a professional package that can be used directly by stakeholders and, where appropriate, published for access by the broader community.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Integrate discipline knowledge and skills through applying advanced problem solving and critical thinking to design and create an implementable solution that addresses the requirements.
- Plan and manage an IT project and resources across the lifecycle using industry standard project management methodologies.
- Sustain high-performance team practices that embody the relevant professional conduct behaviours expected to manage an industry project.
- Communicate professionally and persuasively to stakeholders in written, oral and visual formats.
Content
This is a project-oriented unit and you are required to develop an IT solution that meets the requirements of an industry or community stakeholder. You will also reflect on your role as a professional and team member.
The focus of this unit is integrating the knowledge and skills learnt earlier in your course. Much of the content will be specific to your project and learnt through self-directed study and through informal collaborative learning with peers and stakeholders. Guidance will be provided by industry or academic partners (clients) and the unit's teaching staff.
You are required to work effectively with project participants from different disciplinary backgrounds, as either other team members or stakeholders and clients. Through self-directed study, you will also learn how to apply specialist techniques, skills and tools in the execution of your project.
Learning Approaches
You will be working on an authentic, solution-driven project. The project will act as a vehicle for you to develop professional disciplinary and project management knowledge and skills. Activities will be guided by close interaction with your partner supervisor as well as your unit supervisor during regular meetings. Feedback and scaffolded learning activities will provide support to help you through your project plan.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive detailed feedback on the process you are following and on the quality of the artefacts you are producing during regular meetings. These will provide you with ample feedback on your progress towards the final submission of the summative assessment tasks of the unit.
Feedback will be provided on your progress during the regular meetings in the following manner:
- your interim project deliverables will be critiqued at each meeting;
- comments on summative assessment work in criteria sheets;
- from peers in meetings;
- from industry representatives if engaged as stakeholders.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Project Progress and Performance
You will manage and contribute to regular project management meetings during which your teaching staff will consider the progress of the project, and assess whether your contribution to the project is satisfactory. In the meeting, you will reflect on your work as a team and discuss your progress with respect to tasks and goals agreed upon at the previous meetings. You will be required to provide evidence to your teaching staff of the work undertaken, and to examine critically any changes needed to the process and to your schedule in order to ensure success. The discussions will include reflection on your behaviour and observations of the behaviour of others you have interacted with during the project's development.
This assessment is not classified as an assignment.
Assessment: Project Artefact
You will produce the final version of your deliverables by the end of the semester, developed in incremental stages according to the plans shared and refined with your client and tutor. The artefact submission will include all supporting documentation and subsidiary artefacts created in the course of the project. These will vary according to the project type but may include design documents, detailed test reports, source materials for research reports, mockups, prototypes, user experience tests, user manuals and executable programs. This assessment item will be marked by the teaching team but will rely in part on detailed feedback from the project supervisor or client. You must provide evidence of appropriate review and/or verification and validation of the deliverable.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Final Report
You will provide a final report on your project, incorporating a discussion of the scope agreed upon and detailing your progress against these agreed outcomes. Your report should examine critically your success when measured against the plan inherited from IFB398, including a discussion of the project's goals, feasibility, scope and timeframe, risks, and any revisions that were required. The report should provide a summary of the artefacts created in the course of the project, including for example representative designs and suitable evidence of project tracking such as burn-down charts. This may include an individual or group reflection on your contributions, ethical behaviour and observations of the behaviour of others you have interacted with during the project's development. This report is intended for the Capstone teaching team rather than the client.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Demo Video
The Demo Video requires you to explain and demonstrate the completed artefact of your Capstone project. Your aim with this video should be to persuade a professional audience that you delivered a professional and interesting artefact that achieved the stakeholders’ objectives to a high level of satisfaction and quality.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
