Capstone Project Overview

OpenEdX is an organization dedicated to open-source education and providing institutions with a variety of Learning Management tools. Recently OpenEdX was contracted by learn.edu to build a tool for tracking student performance. The proposed solution should track the following fields:

• First name.
• Last name.
• Course name.
• Grade (letters A-F).

Milestones:Milestone 1 - Personas

Generate three personas to represent users of OpenEdX's new product. Describe each persona using a minimum of ten descriptive characteristics. Those characteristics must include:

• Name.
• Distinguishing characteristics that could impact design.
• Photo, illustration, icon, or emoji.
• Feature(s) the persona would use most often (i.e., most important features).
• Feature(s) the persona would not commonly use.
• Needs the application can meet for this persona.
• Computer skill level.
• Note: add three or more additional elements of your choice.

Milestone 2 - User Stories

Write fifteen or more SCRUM user stories for the GradeBook application's functionality. Use the following story format: "As a [type of user], I want [functionality], so that [justification]."

1. Ensure at least five stories are written for the first persona identified in milestone 1.
2. Ensure at least five stories are written for the second persona identified in milestone 1.
3. Ensure at least five stories are written for the third persona identified in milestone 1.
4. Document any assumptions you made when writing the stories.
5. Stories can be presented in a numbered or bulleted list format.

Milestone 3 - Story Decomposition/Tasking

Using two (2) user stories you just developed in milestone 2, break each story down into at least five smaller tasks.

1. Identify at least five smaller tasks to complete the first story you selected. These can be user interface design and/or development-related activities.
2. Identify at least five smaller tasks to complete the second story you selected. These can be user interface design and/or development-related activities.
3. Store your results in a table or matrix format that you will add to milestone 3. Stories and tasks should be rows within the table/matrix.

Milestone 4 - Sizing/Estimation

For each task at the user story level, estimate the "size" of the effort. Use standard story points to represent each work effort.

• Building upon the table containing the stories and tasks from the previous milestones, create a column for Points. Estimate the number of points for each user story. Use the Fibonacci sequence for the point values and do not exceed 8 story points. In other words, only use 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8.

Deliverables

• Combine all milestones in a single Word document and include your name, date, and assignment number.
