MIT ID Signature Date For Assessor Use Only (if not marked on Moodle) Name: Position Date: Signature: Marks/Grades: MA618 Industry-based Capstone Project Lasted Updated: July 2020 Assessment Task Description You are required to complete the following assessment The first stage of the progress report is known as ‘Industry Based Project’. The assessment is designed to develop student’s knowledge, generic skills and graduate attributes that enhance job-readiness. The progressive project report needs to demonstrate the development of the following stages for your project: your project research and analysis; your team accountability and communication; each ‘Industry-Based Project’ is embedded in an industry relevant to your field of study; your research to date and justify your progress (you need to provide supporting evidence with references to justify your progress); client and stakeholder relationship and management; analysis of current and future practices; and key insights of the project, company and industry. Format of Progress Report 2 Your report is to be written to persuade the reader of the key message. The key message should address the five marking criteria in the table stated below. Additionally the structure may be determined by the individual lecturer and may vary considerably according to the task's purpose and audience. Below is some guidance on the structure of a report. Executive Summary An executive summary is a succinct summary of a project’s why, what, who, how and when, presented in the beginning of a report. By reading the executive summary, a reader should have a good grasp of the purpose of the project, the key stakeholders, the criteria that is addressed, methods and data sources that are used, the key challenges, solutions and recommendations, and proposed milestones or timeline of key deliverables. Introduction Business report introductions typically contain the following: Aim, scope and limitations Background or context (details of problem addressed) Overview of the project brief May include the overall answer (suggested solution) The report structure Body section This is usually the longest section of the report and presents your findings based on the criteria that you address, your analysis and the evidence you have gathered. These findings provide the justification for your recommendation(s). This section needs to develop the material in a clear, logical and coherent manner. Relevant subheadings make it easier for the reader to follow the structure. This structure should reflect the structure outlined in the introduction. The body section will contain different sections depending on the purpose. The following are typical sections: Literature review: a critical analysis of the existing knowledge and current practices in published materials, including scholarly papers, business and industry reports, news articles, statistical analysis, opinion pieces, etc. This section provides the important backdrop that analyses your issues or problem(s) and supports your approach to finding your solution(s). MA618 Industry-based Capstone Project Lasted Updated: July 2020 Methods: outlines how you went about collecting your information, why you chose this method and a justification as to why it was the most appropriate method for your project. Originality, Innovation and Entrepreneurship: discusses and demonstrates your contribution in developing original ideas and a novel approach that addresses customer needs and the evolving business sector, industry or community environment. Shows how you would implement your ideas for solving your project team issues, proposing a real potential product or service and how these could benefit other customers, stakeholders, communities or industries. Results: conveys the results in a clear and concise manner, often using tables, graphs, charts and other visual representation to summarise your findings and solutions. Detailed results and calculations are placed in appendices at the end of the report. All tables, graphs, charts and other visual representation must be contextualised and explained in the body text. Discussion: analyses and evaluates the results and leads toward the conclusion and recommendation/s. This section may outline any unexpected or new issues that need to be considered and require further research or work in the future. Also, you may identify and discuss any potential opportunities that your team uncovers in the project that could lead to potential new business offerings in the future. Conclusion The conclusion states what has been found based on the evidence, analysis and evaluation that was presented in the discussion. The conclusion should outline the key points/findings and state the recommendations that follow from the analysis. In some reports it may be necessary to state any limitations to the research that might affect the interpretation of the results. Most importantly the conclusion refers back to the overall purpose of the report and emphasises the key message. Please submit your report using the Turnitin submission link on Moodle.
