Project work

You will work individually or in groups to:

• Develop a project plan based on a pre-scripted scenario, using a specific development method, e.g. Waterfall or Agile
• Implement a prototype according to the above plan in e.g. Java
• Write a brief report for your prototype development
• Demonstrate how the prototype is working, e.g., with a video presentation.
