Undertaking a project is a key component of nearly all computing/information systems degree programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Projects in Computing and Information Systems covers the four key aspects of project work (planning, conducting, presenting and taking the project further) in chronological fashion, and provides the reader with the skills to excel in the following essential areas:
Writing project proposals
Surveying literature and writing literature reviews
Project management
Time management
Managing risk
Team working
Working with your supervisor
Software development
Documenting software
Report writing
Effective presentations
Viva voce examinations
The author uses a number of real-life case studies to pass on the experiences of past student projects so the reader gets a genuine understanding of how to avoid pitfalls and ensure best practice in their own project.
New to this second edition:
More examples of risk in project planning and risk management.
Extended coverage of evaluation beyond VV&T.
New section on the variety of project types to cover network projects, security projects, IS projects, survey/investigation, web development – all with their own methodologies.
Expansion of how to write summaries and conclusions.
More on agile methods, testing and contemporary systems such as Dropbox and cloud computing.
Inclusion of naturalistic observation within research interviews.
