CSCI 265 Phase 2: team repo setup, standards and procedures, project requirements

Phase 2 is focused on establishing the standards and procedures your team will follow, setting up the team's gitlab/github repo for the project, making and reporting on the team progress on the remaining project deliverables (requirements, design, implementation, test plan).

There are four core deliverables for phase 2: *The individual contribution assessments are due the Monday evening October 20th.

Sample versions of most project documents can be found here, based on a fictional team and project.


Setting up the team gitlab/github repo

The team needs to:

The standards and procedures document

This document is to be named standards.md and kept in your team's documentation directory, and is to follow the template shown in this skeleton version.

This document needs to clearly spell out:


The project update document

Much like the team presentations at the end of this phase, the document is meant to give a clear summary of the progress made in the current phase and the current state of all project deliverables.

The document should highlight:


End-goal deliverables

By the end of the project the team is also expected to have completed:

Teams are permitted to craft their own life cycle plans and phase approaches for how/when the different deliverables are completed, but I tend to recommend making at least some progress on most deliverables in each phase - giving you the opportunity to get some of the documentation work done and obtain some feedback in phases 2 and 3.

(The final mark for each of these deliverables will be based on the final state of the deliverables, so you are encouraged to get feedback in early phases and then refine the deliverables with each subsequent phase.)


Assessment and marks

Be sure all team members have read the contributions assessment page, and complete and submit their assessments by the evening of October 20th (phase2.md in your individual contributions repos).
