Task Summary This Capstone subject is designed to simulate an industry experience. All the assessments delivered are to be based on a client/organisation case study that your lecturer will provide to you. The structure of the assignments is designed to simulate a real-world client/organisation project. The assessments will be completed sequentially and build on each other to deliver a final report and recommendation to the client/organisation. The structure for the assignments is as follows: 1. Each Week: From Week 2 (when your groups have been formed) you will deliver a project status report each week, present this status report to your lecturer in a one-on-one session and minute the outcomes. A copy of each status report and meeting minutes from weeks 2– 9 inclusive are to be included as attachments as part of Assessment 3. 2. First Phase: Assessment 1—In the first phase, your team will develop your project plan. This will provide the structure and framework through which your team will develop Assessments 2 and 3. In addition, it will provide an overview of your understanding of your client and its key stakeholders. The details of Assessment 1 are included in this document. 3. Second Phase: Assessment 2—In the second phase, your group will develop and deliver a milestone report. In this report you will outline the client requirements, scope and customer profiles within the empathise and define phases of design thinking. 4. Third Phase: Assessment 3 — In the third phase, you will present your final recommendations/solutions to the client/organisation representative in two parts. In the first you will provide a written project report outlining your findings and recommendations. This report should also incorporate the feedback that has been provided to you over the trimester.
