Technical Project

The “techproject” activity module provides a complete project driving tool, IEEE compliant, in a pedagogical environment, for real project use or for pedagogical approach of project management.
CHANGE :   We have spent time enough to use Moodle Plugin
Maintenance API to support automated plugin update chain from our
internal development workflow.
This “techproject” activity module is intended to give a complete project driving tool in a pedagogical environment, allowing to teach first principles of pragmatic project management to students through standard steps that are
collecting needs as requirements ,
describing solution with specifications ,
and controlling development task within a milestone schedule
for providing deliverables
that will be reviewed and validated
Its goal is to fit moodle with a fully featured project management tool that could either be used to manage real projects, or drive student projects as a project based pedagogy.
Description entities are tree-shaped, thus improving continuous refinement method.
Techproject is “group” aware, and will allow each course group to form an independant team to drive his own worktrack.
Skills developped
Ability to describe in details using continuous refinement thinking
What is a requirement
What is a specification
How to monitor project coverage and progress
