Project life cycle and management

A presentation that discusses the different stages of a typical life cycle, focusing on the documentation that is produced at each stage. It that takes the class through what is the waterfall and agile project management methodologies and looks at the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology.

There are two accompanying documents. One is a simple starter exercise to help pupils recall the lesson later on and a whole lesson activity. This starts with pupils planning the making of a cake according to the project cycle process, and leads them to creating a Gantt chart for the creation of a website.

This has been used in Unit 8 of the Cambridge Technicals in ICT , other vocational ICT courses and could be used in the IB course.
