Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our company advertises thousands of products online. We use an app to connect with our customers, and we want to make it compatible with more devices.

We would like to collaborate with students to create an ported version of our app in a new technology, so more users can access our services.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our platform, products and services.
  • Familiarizing themselves with the features we would like to re-implement in the adapted version.
  • Recreating features for our ported version.
  • Recommending ways to minimize the challenges of app porting.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Testing the new app.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Familiarity with our platform, products and services
  • Familiarity with the features of our apps
  • Re-creation of important app features
  • Recommendation of ways to simplify app adaptation

Bonus steps would include:

  • Testing the new app

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
  • A presentation.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our platform, products and services
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
