Tutorial 9: Project 2, Sprints 4-5#

Tutorial Outline#

In today’s tutorial you should:

  • Meet with your team

  • Get your sprint 3 checkpoints assessed

  • Conduct a retrospective on your sprint 3 performance

  • Make plans for the 4th and 5th sprints

  • Plan how you will answer the key questions for your project

  • Ask any questions you’ve got

Presentations#

Over the coming weeks (including the mid-semester break) you should start thinking about bringing your presentation together.

Presentations are delivered in the week 11 and 12 tutorials, but slides must be submitted by the end of week 10.

Presentations are worth 30% of your mark for the subject, so worth getting started on this now!

Sprint 4 and 5 Checkpoints#

These checkpoints will be assessed during the tutorial in week 10 (after the break).

To receive the checkpoint mark for sprint 4 you must:

  • Determine or create features or heuristics to rank the desirability of merchants

  • Apply this feature/heuristic to produce a preliminary ranking

To receive the checkpoint mark for sprint 5 you must:

  • Identify between 3-5 market segments and assign your merchants to these segments

  • Refine your heuristic for ranking merchants

  • Use your heuristic to produce a ranking of the top 10 merchants within each of your segments

Be prepared to show these things in the week 10 tutorial.

To receive the checkpoint mark for sprint 4 you must:

  • Begin forecasting the prices of rental properties in each suburb for the next 3 years (2024-2026)

  • Find the most important features that make properties in a suburb more expensive and sought after

To receive the checkpoint mark for sprint 5 you must:

  • Prepare a 3-5 minute summary notebook summarising your current findings on the project.

    • The notebook should summarise your current progress

    • And should outline your approach to outlining the 3 big questions

Be prepared to show these things in the week 10 tutorial.
