BSC203 - Introduction to ICT Research Methods

1. Use the Murdoch University library catalogue or the Internet to search for one of the papers listed below (these are from Tutorial 1). Alternatively, you can develop a project scope statement for the smartwatch prototype project that you discussed in Tutorial 2, using the Scope Statement Template from the LMS. Make assumptions about your proposed version of the project where necessary.

2. Develop a Scope Statement for the project reported in the paper you have chosen, using the Scope Statement Template from the LMS. Remember to include all the elements that a Scope Statement should have (you can refer back to the lecture slides). Make educated guesses where necessary. You should be able to provide answers to these questions in your Scope Statement:

a) What is the project trying to achieve?

b) How would the stakeholders determine they are getting what was asked for?

c) What types of constraints and assumptions can be made about this project?

d) What is the boundary for this project? You may need to think a bit about this – what could the project have included but did not?
