T1 & T2 Iteration Plan
1. Objectives
This Iteration Plan describes the detailed plans for the first two
iterations of the Transition Phase.
The first iteration (T1) of the Transition Phase packages and installs the
R1.0 version of the C-Registration System. This release contains all key
functionality for course registration with the exception of submission and
viewing of student marks.
The second iteration (T2) of the Transition Phase packages and installs the
R2.0 version. This release contains all key functionality as defined in the
Vision Document [1].
2. Scope
This Iteration Plan applies to the C-Registration System project being
developed by Wylie College Information Systems for Wylie College. This
document will be used by the Project Manager, Deployment Manager, and by the
project team.

4. Plan
The first iteration (T1) will commence when the R1.0 software baseline is
available from the development team. The software will be packaged and the
distribution media created. The Transition team will create the User Manual
and will install the software on the Wylie College Server and selected client
PCs on campus. The Transition Team is responsible for conducting the User
Acceptance Tests and obtaining signoff from the Wylie College representative.
In addition, the client software will be setup on an FTP site so that any
client P.C. with a valid ID and Internet access may download the client
portion to their P.C.
The transition team provides training and support to the Wylie College
Registrar and administration staff following installation of the software.
The second iteration (T2) will commence when the R2.0 software baseline is
available from the development team. The activities for preparing the R2.0
Release are the same as defined above for R1.0, with the exception that R2.0
must convert and import the R1.0 data.
The primary use cases that form Release 1.0 are:
- Logon
- Close Registration
- Register for Courses
- Interface to Course Catalog Database
- Interface to Finance System
- Maintain Student Information
- Maintain Professor Information
The primary use cases that form Release 2.0 are:
- Submit Student Grades
- View Grades
- Select Courses to Teach
- Iteration
