Related Work Assignment

• You will create an annotated bibliography of 10 related work sources. Your annotated bibliography should contain for each entry:– Full bibliographic listing of the related work– Pointer to the source file of the related work– Abstract of the related work– Brief paragraph and/or bullet points articulating what

is relevant to your project about the related work• In addition, select 2 of these items for the class

to read and discuss– For each selection, write a brief paragraph and/or

bullet points articulating why you think the class should read it and what about the related work will be relevant to other projects in the course.

Redesign Guidelines

• Do meet the project goals– Or successfully renegotiate them with the original

project team

• Do not reproduce or modify the original design solution– Find a new way to meet the project goals

• Do honor the time and resource constraints of the course and the original project team

• Generate many solutions before deciding on one

2005.02.02 SLIDE 16IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For Today

• Revised Project Description– List your project goals as a set of bullet points

(no more than three)– Create a new brief 1 paragraph project

description of your revised project idea– Point out what you have changed in your

project as a set of additional bullet points– Make sure the redesign team understands

and agrees with your new goals

2005.02.02 SLIDE 17IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For Brainstorming Session

• Freely and quickly generate ideas without criticism or judgment

• Group and/or sort your ideas• Eliminate candidates by analyzing how they

relate to the project redesign guidelines (or not)• Feel free to iterate this process a few times• Select winning candidate• Document all ideas generated and criteria for

decision-making

2005.02.02 SLIDE 18IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For In-Class Design Work Session

• Make sure you are clear on your work process– Identify roles and milestones

• Bring materials to class you will need for your work– Paper– Pen– Dry Erase Markers– Laptops– Digital Camera– Video Camera

2005.02.02 SLIDE 19IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For In-Class Design Work Session• Using whatever media you find most helpful and

suited to the task, describe and visualize your design solution

• There are a variety of documents you could create– A system architecture diagram– A user interaction flowchart– A user interaction storyboard– Sample screenshots– Written personas and use scenarios

• You should focus on realizing one of your brainstormed ideas

2005.02.02 SLIDE 20IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For In-Class Presentations Session

• The project goals – What are your project’s goals? – Is this different in any way from the original

team’s proposed project goals? – If so, explain the differences and how you

resolved them with the original team

• Your brainstormed ideas – Please briefly describe your brainstormed

ideas – How did you assess, group, and filter them to

arrive at your final alternate design solution?

2005.02.02 SLIDE 21IS290-01 – SPRING 2005

For In-Class Presentations Session• Your alternate design solution

– What does it do? – How will it work? – Make sure to show some design visualizations (e.g.,

diagrams, storyboards, etc.) – What are its strengths and weaknesses? – How does your design differ from the original

solution?

• Implications for the original project design – Given you new solution, what do you recommend the

original team do about their original project design solution and why?
