This integrative capstone unit for the Master of Information Systems course is designed so that you can demonstrate your learning across the whole course of study before making the transition to the next stage of your career. You will undertake an authentic task group project or an industry project that demonstrates the skills that you have developed throughout your studies in this course. Through conceptual thinking and innovative analysis to troubleshoot a complex problem, you will use and document typical project management processes, demonstrate information systems domain knowledge, and in the process, develop several documents that can be included in a work portfolio to assist future employment. You will conduct a computing group project, demonstrate your skills in producing relevant analysis and process modelling artefacts, and generate a project report based on established principles. Working collaboratively within a team, you will identify the needs of diverse stakeholders, assess cyber security issues with business processes, produce typical project management artefacts associated with a commercial systems development project, communicate regularly, participate in technical progress meetings, and far better manage change.
