General comments
The Digiteen Compass website demonstrates the use of a wiki to solve a problem for the head of IT. The developer needed to consider the needs of the client and at the same time ensure that complex techniques were used in the development of the solution.
Criterion A: Initial investigation
The client, Mrs Haley Akmed, is identified and consulted regarding the inadequacies of the current situation. The requirements of the grade 8 team activity are described, but there is no indication of the solution at this point. The justification of a particular solution is addressed in criterion B.
A transcript of an interview and a summary of a meeting are used to support criterion A and criterion B. Formulating good questions for an interview with the client is important for these two criteria.
Criterion B: Analysis
The analysis form is used. There is a clear reference to the scenario described in criterion A. The requirements specification and the specific performance criteria can be used to evaluate the success of the IT solution. There is a detailed justification of why the IT solution was chosen, with screenshots.
Criterion C: Project schedule
Not provided for this example.
Criterion D: Product design
The product design form is used for criterion D. The site map and overall design for the actual web pages have sufficient detail for the wiki. The designs are accompanied by a listing of the pages and how they are structured. The tables for the list of resources and techniques and test plan have been completed with adequate detail. The test plan can be used as a basis for criterion F.
Criterion E: Product development
At least three complex techniques are used in the wiki. Other techniques that are important for the product are also identified. The first page provides a structured approach to the justification that follows. Arrows, circles and other indicators are used to show specific areas of the screenshots. Sufficient screenshots are used and each screenshot is referred to from the text. Sources are cited appropriately.
Criterion F: Product evaluation and future product development
Not provided for this example.
Criterion G: Required elements
