Welcome class! Today, we are going to discuss how to choose a meaningful project idea for your capstone. Can anyone share what project they might consider?
I was thinking about building a task management app.
Great choice! Task management apps are highly functional. Why do you think this will be useful?
Because many people need to keep track of their tasks and deadlines.
Exactly! That's a real-world problem. Remember, a good project should solve an actual problem or fill a need. Let's list down some features you might include in this app.
Now, once you've settled on the project, it’s time to identify the core features. What features do you think a task management app should have?
User authentication could be important, right? So users can log in securely.
That’s correct! User authentication ensures that the data is secure. What about adding, editing, or deleting tasks?
Yes, and we could organize tasks by due dates or projects.
Fantastic! Organizing tasks helps with prioritization. Let's write these features down. They will be the backbone of your application.
To develop your application further, you need to translate features into user stories. Can anyone give me an example of a user story?
As a user, I want to create a new task so that I can keep track of my assignments.
Great! User stories provide context and purpose. They help ensure we're making something beneficial. What other stories can we create?
How about: As a user, I want to set reminders for tasks to manage my time effectively?
Excellent! Remember, each user story becomes a guide for your development and testing phases.
The essential functionalities that a web application must provide.
Personal descriptions of how features will fulfill user needs, guiding the development process.
A conceptual foundation that aligns with personal interests and demonstrates skills.
For tasks to thrive, core features must come alive.
Once a user wanted a simple app to track tasks. They dreamt of features—like marking tasks done and categorizing them, turning their dream into a roadmap.
UFO - User Features Organized: Remember, core features begin with understanding user needs and organizing functionalities.
C-F-U: Core features, Functional requirements, and User stories to remember the main aspects of application development.

A specification of what a system should do, detailing the behavior and operations expected from the application.
The process of verifying the identity of a user, ensuring that only authorized users can access the application.
A narrative description of a feature from the end user's perspective, outlining their need or desired outcome.
This section focuses on defining core features and functionalities for a web application within a capstone project.
Identifying the functional requirements is essential when developing a web application. This involves creating a list of core features and breaking them down into user stories to guide the development process.
In this section, we dive into the importance of identifying functional requirements for your capstone project. A functional requirement outlines what the system should do, defining the expected behaviors, operations, and functionalities of the web application.
In summary, clearly identifying functional requirements is not just about listing features, but about creating a roadmap to guide the development process and ensuring each functionality is tied back to user needs.
