MSIT 3999 - Capstone


Working in teams of 2 to 4, students will perform a consulting engagement for a local business. Working from a request letter from the CIO of a client company, students will engage with the client to develop a proposal for an analysis and design project, including deliverables, expected interactions with client management and staff and expected timeline. After presenting the proposal and gaining client approval, the team will carry out the proposed effort. Each project will culminate in a proposed solution, and sufficient documentation that the client can issue a Request for Proposal to implement the design. Lectures will address the consulting process, requirements gathering and the role of repeatable methodologies and consistent documentation methods.
