Unit description 

This is one of two IT capstone project units. In this second capstone project unit, students will continue to work together in teams to execute, monitor and document an IT project, following the plan created in MIT651 (Capstone Project 1). Building upon MIT651 unit, its aim is to give students the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the course to date to execute the completion of a planned real-world project. In this unit, the students will apply their disciplinary and professional knowledge and skills to refine and extend the existing deliverables.
