Personal Learning Outcomes

My greatest takeaway from this IS480 website is to learn how to manage a real-world IT project. Having past experiences in managing student projects, events and non-profit related activities (i.e. youth camps), I wish to gain specific skill sets from the IS 480 project:
- Agile Development Methodology
- Motivating IT project teams
- Evaluating IT project ideas
- Client negotiation skills
- Time management skills
- Applied project management skills (and not just from textbook)
I intend to hone my skills through the privilege of being selected by my team to manage the project. Also, I want to ensure that my team members are able to meet their learning outcomes through the IS 480 project.

My takeaway from this IS480 project would be to experience working with a real client. This is my first time working with a real client with regards to a project and this experience is something that i will not get in other modules. Also, learning how to work well together with the team is also important.
