DOs and DONTs

Hello Friends,

          As a SLIIT Third year Software Engineering Students, there are some DOs and DONTs what we have to concern from the beginning to the end of the Software Engineering Project. Will look at some of them. 

DO's

1.  Hard Working

          To get through this project you should always work hard. First we have to try harder by ourselves to solve any problem before search on the Internet or take help from the others. Once we try hard only we can understand the problem well and make a solution. Though you try hard still you are in a trouble then we can move into a friend or related web searches. If you get a help from someone or the web you much understand the coding or whatever the thing goes on that and should have the ability to explain it to another.

2.  Time Management

          When it comes to the time management there are few thing you need to pay attention.

• Set an agenda.

     Set this ahead of time to ensure members can be prepared. It’s better if you can meet your supervisor or the Lecturer in charge and get to know about your presentation schedules. So you can work according to the schedule. It’s better if you can make sure the assignment dates for other subjects as well. Then you can work without messing up everything with this project.

• Take notes.

    Ensure that one person take down the ideas so they aren’t lost. Before starting coding its better if you can have a rough sketch about what you are up to do. So whenever you need to review about your work you have a simple and complete plan with you.

• Assign tasks and set deadlines.

     Go beyond simply agreeing that something needs to be done; assign tasks among the members and allocate timelines. Setting deadlines is a must with this project. Otherwise till the last hour you will suffer with the iteration workloads. Self-deadlines are really important when it comes to this project presentations and other subject’s presentations together.

3.   Communication

          Members of your project should always meet up and talk. Once you meet up conclude all the details and make a note in points what you have talked. Listen everyone in the group. Give enough time to talk everyone. Give your ideas without hiding anything. Your idea may be perfect than the others. Deal with problems as they arise. Try not to let concerns fester as these will often turn into bigger problems. It is important that all perspectives are put forward so that intellectual debate can flourish.  Be a genuine contributor to your group. Always give priority to the leader of the group. Listen before commenting. After all meet your supervisor and give the conclusion of your discussion. Take his or her suggestions as well. Do this frequently.

 

 DON'Ts

1.  Neglect the other Subjects

This is not the only thing you have to complete within the semester. All the other four subjects are equally important. So don’t take their time to do your project works. Make the same amount of effort for every subject. Getting an A for this and repeat all the other subjects are worthless.

 

2. Wait till last moment

          Waiting till the last moment doesn’t work for any thing. Same thing applies for this project as well. It’ll ruin even a single thing you perfectly know how to do is. The worst case of this, is you may not be able to cover the workload within the given time period.
