Warning

Students starting C769 after 8/25/2024 will be automatically enrolled in the newest version, ROM3. The ROM3 requirements are very similar to ROM2. However, faculty could only review the new course after its release, and there may be some minor discrepancies between the latest course and our stated best practices. This website will be updated by 9/4.

Welcome to C769!#

Welcome! The IT capstone is a written project demonstrating competency in your field through communicating the planning and implementation of an IT solution to a business problem.

The capstone includes three parts:

  1. Task One: Get course instructor topic approval -a preliminary step to ensure you start in the right direction.

  2. Task two: The Proposal -a detailed paper describing a client’s problem and how you will implement an IT solution to solve it. Most of your work will be here.

  3. Task three: The Conclusion Report -a detailed paper describing the concluded project proposed in task two. Most of task three repeats task two.

First, understand the project’s requirements. What they are -and what they aren’t. Watch the following video:

Task 3, the Report, mostly rewrites the Proposal, task 2. Hence, task 2 represents 80-90% of the capstone work. For a more in-depth understanding of this crucial task, view the section-by-section videos explaining task 2 and the video on writing task 3.
