KIT503 ICT Professional Practices and Project Management

Phase 0: Task Negotiation
Different members of your team will have different strengths and weaknesses. Before you start the task, you must negotiate the roles that you will play on your team and commit to what you will contribute to the assignment. Each team member’s commitments must be recorded in the appendix at the end of your report. For people completing this assignment individually, they should record their anticipated concerns and benefits from completing this task alone.
Phase 1: Design Thinking
Follow and document your progression through a Design Thinking process. I recommend that you use this process:You should remember that this isn’t necessarily linear, and you’ll see on the Design Thinking
PowerPoint slides where iteration might occur. Develop a new idea for an information or communication technology or something that uses ICT. Interesting ideas are best. There is no requirement that your idea be good for the world, but it does need to have a purpose.
You are not doing a report on an existing business or idea. This is a creative assignment where you will follow a Design Thinking process to develop a new idea to pitch in your video. You should submit details of the process that you used and what happened within each step of the process. It is likely to help if you include a diagram of your process.
Phase 2: Pitch
Requirements
Prepare and submit a video pitch. Your pitch needs to answer these questions:
• What makes your idea interesting?
• Why would an investor choose your idea, and not any of the thousands of others out there?
• What makes you think the market needs – or even wants – your idea?
