This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome(s): IT488M6: Create a distribution package of software product for release to end-users. Purpose: Congratulations! You have created a software product from concept to finished product. You should be very proud of yourself! In this last module, you will have two objectives. First, you will deploy your software product to an externally facing mechanism so that the end user market can access it. Examples of this could be a public app store, an enterprise app store, a website, or a web app. To help with your distribution strategy, think about how you find and purchase software that you use. The idea is to do the same thing for your software product. Also, you may feel that your software product is ready for end users to beta test it, you may want to sell it, or you may even want to give it away for free. The possibilities are endless! The second objective of this module is to create a presentation of your product as if you were presenting it to your end user market. Here's to a great last week of development! Assignment Instructions and Requirements: Software distribution and software licensing to an end user has changed significantly in the past 20 years. This has caused a cultural shift in the way a consumer acquires software. For example, today a person can download and configure a mobile banking application within minutes. In additional, there are now app stores not only for mobile devices but also for desktops and laptops. You have now created a software product from concept to finished product using scrum. In this module, you will deploy your software product to an externally facing mechanism so the end user can access it. This could mean deploying through a public app store, an enterprise app store, a website, or through more traditional means that would require providing a user with a download option via a website or CD/DVD. Research and analyze the best deployment option for your product and select the one you choose to use. Write a 2 to 3 page informative paper in which you discuss your rationale for choosing this method. Use scholarly, peer-reviewed sources, and/or a textbook as sources. Depending on the deployment/distribution method chosen, implement that method so that the product is available to the end user or complete a video walk-through of the working product. Prepare a presentation of your final product. This presentation should be how you want to present the product to your end user market. You can use PowerPointⓇ, videos, PreziⓇ, or any presentation tool you feel will best demonstrate the purpose of your product and demonstrate its functionality. Requirements: Your paper must present a summary of alternatives for deployment options (if applicable) and your selected option. The implementation/distribution method comes with instructions to allow for transition of this process to support. Or a complete video is included showing the entire product in operation. Your presentation is well-organized, logical, and written with clarity, free of spelling and grammar errors. The presentation should include the following: 1. Key tasks to be accomplished by the software product 2. The problems that are addressed and advantages gained by using this software product 3. Clarification of how this product is different from others in the same area (if there are similar products) 4. Information regarding how you get this product and how it is licensed 5. Information regarding who to contact if the customer would like to further customize this product Part 2: Final Product Dashboard Show a final status of the product as it finishes and goes to its first production release. Prepare this as an attachment to the deliverable for this module. This attachment should present the final status of the backlog and burndown and any other final data as PowerPoint slides.
