Course’s suitability

•I have studied course TIEA4 (Project Work). Can I still take Innovation project?•Yes.

•Can I study Innovation Project (LUOYA200) instead of Project Work (TIEA4)?•Yes. But you can always take them both.

•I’m studying in Master’s Degree Programme in Software Development. Can I study Innovation Project (LUOYA200) instead of Project Work (TIEA4)?

•Yes, SPM (TIETS19) does not anymore require TIEA4. •But you can still take TIEA4, because these projects are more software development oriented.

•I'm majoring in Information studies and interactive media. Can I study Innovation Project (LUOYA200) instead of Interactive Media Project (ITIMA25)?

•Yes, but contact your COMS study coordinator.

Project management (TIETS19) at Demola

•I would like to get credits from TIETS19-Practise from a Demola project. Is that possible? Yes.

•You must have studied earlier Project Work (TIEA4) and/or Innovation Project (LUOYA200). You can study TIETS19/Theory at the same time.

•Then you apply for a Demola project. In the application, mention that you are interested in doing project management tasks in your project (among other things!).

•Then you participate normally in your Demola-project, but you must be active in project management related tasks (initiating, planning and design, executing, monitoring and controlling, communication, reporting, presentations, etc.).

•Your name should be mentioned in the Playbook when management-related tasks are listed.

•Supervising teacher gives more information on required activities in the project meetings.

A sample project - LiveManual


UTA.FI/LUO

LiveManual – Project phases

1. Project Requirements Gathering - regular meetings with Metso to understand their needs.

2. Requirements Analysis - brain storming, listed all ideas which we thought of and realized them one by one based on the priority and implementation difficulty.

3. Concept Design – define what the new demo should be like, what kind of features should be there, for example how to show the navigation column etc. Draw different versions of the interface. Proceed based on these. Searched needed resources from the internet, self learning and transfer all those new ideas and knowledge into our product.


UTA.FI/LUO

LiveManual – project phases

4. Development – added needed features one by one. Meanwhile, continued to improve the interface design and made it look better.

5. Integration – put different parts together and integrate with the database.

6. Testing – we devised questionnaires and tested the manual. The test requirements and description were prepared in advance. The first test was done with some volunteers, the test subjects were students and those students had some IT related knowledge. The second test was done in Metso, with staff from different backgrounds. The test results were collected and discussed based on feedback and comments. Some issues that came up in the tests were fixed.

7. Demonstration & Possible Deployment – show the demo in the final customer meeting, if the customer wants, they can license the demo.
