Final year projects are an important feature of most undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the fields of Business Information Technology, Information Systems, Software Engineering and Business Computing. These projects usually involve students in the practical application of theory together with a critical analysis or evaluation of the excecution of their project or of the theory applied.

This book is the first to provide detailed guidance and support for students in preparing for, conducting and evaluating a system development project, independent of the development methodology or technical tools to be used.

Structure of the book is chronological, covering project preparation, project execution and project completion.

Examples of each key product and activity are included as are examples of different types of project, using the three main system development methodologies, SSADM, UML and DSDM.

A website with templates and examples is available for students.
