Planning/Management/Leadership Portfolio
The aim of this report is to explain the work you have completed as part of the project since the beginning of the groups forming. This report provides a check point for the course coordinator to determine that you are making sufficient progress in this course. This is an individual report of you contribution and leadership of the group. So this report you have 2 pages to convince the course coordinator that you are doing a great job in leading your group.The report will be marked out of 100. And is worth 10% of the final mark. A late penalty of 10% per day applies (these are working days). Also note this penalty is caped so it does not take your mark for this report below 40 out of 100. This report will not be accepted after the last day of semester 1. Extensions are possible in documented exceptional cases (e.g. medical certificate).
The report must be at most 2 pages and contain the following:
- A title.
- Your name and student id, the team and project you are part of.
- Abstract - Overview of what you did and any outcomes.
- Summary of the tasks (these include planning, management, leadership, and technical tasks) you have undertaken from weeks 3 to 10 of Semester 1. This should be a list with each item in the list including: a short description of the task, an estimation of how long the task took you, the level of the difficult/complexity of the task, motivation for the task, and a link(s) that point to artefacts stored in the svn repository or redmine that relate to the task. Also place a "star" next to the task you are most proud of or provides the most significant contribution to the group.
- A summary of any issues or problems that have arisen and how you have dealt with them over the term.
- A statement about the value you have (or are) providing to the client.
- A statement about your groups overall progress. What are your next plans are in terms of moving forward.
In-addition to the main 2 page report you may attach appendices.
Use a 1-column report format with a 10 point Times-Roman font. The report must be in pdf format that is viewable on the lab machines.
Marks will be given based on:
- The extent, utility, and quality of the work you have done (this will involve the marker accessing and viewing documents within svn and redmine).
- The clarity of the report.
To give you an indication of marks I would expect:
- done very little and a poor report: 0-30
- made some contribution to project with a poor report or made little contribution and a great report: 30-50
- done a minimum amount with an okay report : 50-60
- made a sufficient contribution (some issues with quality of what is done) with an okay report: 60-70
- made a good contribution with high quality artefacts and written a clear report: 70-80
- overall excellence all round (contribution, leadership, quality, and report): 80+

A few hits for submission:
- Don't have spaces in your file names (the submit program does not like them!).
