Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our company is on the cusp of creating a new product, we understand our users and what they need, we have a vision for our product, what we are missing in order to be able to move toward development is are the models required to guide the developers.


We are looking for a group who is interested in learning what it takes to move a start up forward, and, who is interested in working with us to develop the information architecture and data model artifacts for the product.


  • What are our business processes?
  • How do we structure our business information?
  • What kinds of information do we use within these processes?
  • What kinds of information do we store?
  • Where does it come from? Where does it go? 


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of the logistics quoting process
  • Understanding of product goals and outcomes
  • Clear linkages between the goals and outcomes and the physical data model

Bonus steps would include:

  • Recommending improvements for design

Final deliverables should include:

  • A conceptual logical data model and a physical data model
  • A final report.
  • A 10-minute 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 industry, products and services
  • Our current understanding of our functional and non-functional requirements
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • UML
  • Mural or Miro
  • Visio

Nice to haves for students include:

  • Knowledge about security and information/data management standards

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
