Course Expectations

All students taking the capstone course sequence must have a significant amount of time to dedicate to this effort over the next two quarters. In addition, all students must be capable of exceptional independent learning and be highly self-motivated and interested in making the team work and be successful.

Key Milestones

The course is structured in four two-week sprints.
At the beginning of the class, the teams are required to provide an overall, high-level development plan. At the end of each sprint, the teams are required to perform a Sprint Review (with the sponsor) and a Sprint Retrospective. The summary of these two efforts are to be discussed with the instructor during class. Teams will also create a presentation and poster to display at summit.cs at the end of the quarter.
