Year 10 Development

How are you going to make it?

You are going to follow an agile process to develop your outcome. We will have two "sprints" where your product will get made, tested and then you will get feedback.

Project Management using Trello

Managing your project is really important to make sure what you set out to achieve is do able and that you don't leave it to the last minute

Trello

In order to plan our project we are going to use Trello an online project planning tool.

Step 1 - Set up your account

Go to trello.com and click "Get Trello for Free" then Sign up with your Google Account

Step 2 - Create a Workspace and Board

Create a new Workspace, It does not matter what it is called and then Create a new Board from the bar at the top of the page. Give it a name and hit Create

Step 3 - Set up your work space

Create 4 columns

Extra Cool Stuff
Minimum Viable Product
Doing
Done

You can also add your teammates if you have them to the same board and assign tasks to them.

You can then add cards for each of your tasks. Make sure that each of the tasks are small enough that you could possibly complete them in a lesson.

Some Key Dates to include:

MVP Ready
Testing & Feedback
Outcome completed
Print Posters
Presentations

Sprint 1

Minimum Viable Product

After 4 weeks work your product shouldn't be finished but your users should be able to test it and try it out. It should be functional even if not all the features are implemented yet. This could be a paper prototype, a first level of a game, or a first edit of a video.

Planning

As you work on and complete tasks you should move the task to the appropriate section.

It can also be helpful to colour code tasks for specific members or related tasks.

At the end of each sprint/checkpoint you should archive your tasks.

Develop and Testing

Throughout the process you should be testing your outcome to make sure it functions. For example:

If you are making a game, software, or website you should test each component works as expected each time you tick off a task.
If you are making a video you could be checking that the sound and video line up accordingly
If you are manufacturing something you might be testing your laser-cut pieces in cardboard or 3D printing your outcome in filament rather than resin.

Trial & Feedback

Update your slideshow now with images of your minimum viable product, and first sprint of development (Slide 5 and 6)

Polishing / Make it juicy / Minimum Lovable Product

Sprint 2

You should have a minimum viable product by the end of the first sprint. Now it is time to make your product as good as you can. This would be taking your working thing and making it better! Depending on the industry and product this stage can have a number of different names:

Video game design - Making it Jucy

Audiovisual - Adding the Magic

Graphic Design and Software - Polishing

Product Design - Finessing

Making Video Games Jucy

Final Review
