[[Design Brief]] [[10 - Unit 3/AOS2 - Analysis and Design/Gantt Chart|Gantt Chart]] ## Development of a brief and project plan In preparation for the SAT students will need to be able to identify a real-world problem, need or opportunity that can be developed as a software solution for a client or potential users. Criterion 1 assesses students’ skills in developing a brief and in project management. Students will need to prepare a brief that documents their problem, need or opportunity. Further details regarding the process of developing a brief is in the _Support material_. Teachers should have discussions with their students regarding their problem, need or opportunity and to have a process for approving the brief before students commence their project plan. Students are encouraged to document their ideas to convince their teacher that they will be able to develop a software solution. Students will prepare a Gantt chart using an appropriate software tool that documents all the stages and the activities of the problem-solving methodology for Unit 3 Outcome 2 and Unit 4 Outcome 1 (both parts of the SAT). Students will need to document all the relevant tasks, sequencing, time allocations, milestones, dependencies and critical path. The evidence from this task is observed through Observation 1 and assessed through Criterion 1. ## Marking Rubric ![[Marking Rubric#Criterion 1]]
