General Guidelines

Throughout the entirety of the course, you will be working on your own software project. The course project is a major component of your evaluation.

You will need to work in teams of size 5-7 students. No teams with less than 5 and more than 7 students will be allowed.
Work on a topic of your choice, with a team of your choice.
Your app need to be designed according to one of the following architectural models:
- MVC architecture
  (Our recommedation goes to MVC, since you have been introduced to it since CSC207. However, if you are willing to learn other architectures, feel free to do so!)
- Three-tiered architecture
- Microservices architecture
- If you have other architecture in mind, talk to your instructor.
You will follow Agile Development methodology, with frequent deliveries, as specified below.
Project tracking will be done using Jira , one of the Agile tools much in demand in the modern software engineering.
