Ref. OCD System Objectives (Section 1.1)

1.1 Software Product Objectives

Presently, the French and Italian Department offers two courses that explore various aspects of the French culture. The current system combines traditional teaching methods (handouts, slides, etc.) with web-based resources in an attempt to convey the social and political trends of 20th century France. The major limitations of this system are exhibited in the form of availability, usability, and collaboration.

Hence, the objectives of the proposed system are to alleviate and/or solve the major limitations in the current system by the following methods: 1) put the instructional site on the web so that valid students and/or instructors may have convenient access to the site, 2) implement a simple, intuitive user interface that will encourage users to explore the site, and 3) allow multiple instructors to login to the site and contribute material to a course's curriculum. Other features have been proposed to further enhance the functionality of the site, contributing to the user's potential to explore and learn about the material contained at the site.

1.2 Development Plan Objectives

• To serve as the basis for controlling the project's progress in achieving the software product objective.
• To help make the best use of people and resources throughout the development cycle.
• To provide evidence that the developers have thought through the major development issues in advance.

3.0 Responsibilities

3.1 Organizational Responsibilities

The organization of the major stakeholders are listed in table 3.1. The stakeholders are more thoroughly defined in the OCD Operational Stakeholders (Section 5.2).

Ref. SDP Table 3.1

3.1.2 Organizational Commitment Responsibilities

Ref. SDP Table 3.1

3.2 Development Responsibilities

A team of five CS577b students will be responsible for the development of the International Cross-Cultural Teaching Model. The team will implement the product design and two incremental software development phases associated with the development process. The following sections describe the individual roles and responsibilities of each development team member in detail.

3.2.1 Development Organization Charts

Figure 3.2.1

The software development plan calls for a team consisting of five CS577b students to be assigned to the project. One student will take on the responsibilities of the project manager, who will be responsible for monitoring project progress, ensuring consistency among the team members' artifacts, resolving issues and risks, and maintaining proper contact and communications with the customer.

Two students will take on the role of software engineers whose primary responsibilities will include analyzing and writing code for the software system, product design specification, and detailed design specification.

Another student will assume the role of the test engineer who will be responsible for writing the test plan and performing various tests to ensure quality and consistency of the system.

The fifth student team member, the system engineer, will oversee the requirements analysis and user's manual documentation.

3.2.3 Training

The CS577b students assigned to this project are assumed to have a background in Java, Perl, and CGI. Background in French is unnecessary since the only French put to use is via the translation feature which is done through an on-line provider.
