Peptalk on TDT4290 Customer Driven Project kickoff meeting 1215-1400, 28 Aug. 2007 Reidar Conradi Inst. for datateknikk og informasjonsvitenskap (IDI) Norges teknisk-naturvitenskaplige universitet (NTNU) http://www.idi.ntnu.no/emner/tdt4290 Tel +47 73.593444 (rc), Fax +47 73.594466

Motivation (1) Engineering and especially Informatics: Technology: combine knowledge and experience to make useful things/systems. Make new, “internal” reality in social context – constructive and practical synthesis; not merely study “external”, nature-provided reality (flowers, stars) – analytical science. Large and complex systems: Ex. PC with 100-1000 M source lines or 10-100 thousand books; i.e. the most complex, human-created systems ever. Implies group work, organized as projects with many and possibly multidisciplinary participants. => Will train you in group dynamics. In USA: Annual market of 200 bill. $ for tailored software: 31% of projects stopped before completion, with annual losses of 81 bill. $ (1% of GNP!) 53% of projects have serious overruns (189% in costs), amounting to 59 bill. $ annually 16% of projects according to plan 75% of costs by running client-server systems is in labour over a 5-year period (Gartner Group) ….

Motivation (2) Technology studies and especially informatics / system development emphasizes project work in its pedagogic: IDI regards TDT4290 Customer Driven Project as its most ”formative” course: "learning by doing" (not just “by reading, listening, and seeing"). Previous students: “This was the course I learned most from”. Industri: “Nobody can do more in 3 months than such a student group”. "Datateknikk-siv.ing. are useful from day one in their first job, trained to work in groups etc.“ External course evaluation v/ Markus Sorge from spring 2000: gives this project course top marks.

Motivation (3) The course combines in 13 weeks: Most bachelor level curriculum as a useful platform. System/program development from pre-study to simple prototype. Practical and hectic group work under time/resource pressure - training in group/project processes. Realistic and useful “product” with external customer. Written reporting of results – 200++ pages, often in English. Great expectations from all parties: Department, main supervisors (often staff) and co-supervisors External customers Your selves We expect top effort from day one! Welcome to an exiting autumn semester!

Motivation Give the students more practical experience with running all phases of large customer-driven IS/IT projects Emphasis on the early phases, i.e. project planning, feasibility studies, requirements engineering Projects vary in scope and focus Some projects have more emphasis on later phases Project plan must reflect the particular scope/focus of your project All work has to be done properly

Practical Information about the Course “Infoheftet” A booklet with all relevant information about the course Students need to be familiar with its content TDT4290 home page - http://www.idi.ntnu.no/emner/tdt4290/ Updated and official information about guest lectures, seminars, student deliverables, presentation, etc. Must be consulted on a regular basis

Tips to student groups Treffes og bruke tid på å finne ut av ”hvem er de andre på gruppen min” og formidle ”hvem er jeg”: faglige interesser, spesiell kompetanse, hvilke fag tar jeg dette semesteret, fritidsinteresser, status/ familie, når har jeg forelesningsfri, ev. forpliktelser, planlagte reiser/fravær, forventninger til gruppearbeidet, … Tenke over hvilke roller det er behov for i prosjektet: prosjektleder, kundekontakt, ….. Sette seg så godt inn i oppgaven som mulig Ikke få ”panikk” – det er normalt at alt virker uoverkommelig og kaotisk i starten

Good luck! TDT4290 Customer-driven project Reidar Conradi, professor Hallvard Trætteberg, associate professor Jon Espen Ingvaldsen, coordinator
