Abstract

The main objective of having a team project in the course is to provide students with some experience in working in a team. To ensure the success of team projects, it is important to evenly distribute skills among teams. For an individual team, good intra-team communication is the key to succeed. It is also important to define a fair policy to assess individual team member’s contribution. Further, a quality assurance (QA) plan is essential to enhance student team project experience. This paper intends to share our practice of delivering software team projects with an emphasis on team formation metrics, intra-team communication assessing individual contribution and with a focus on the use QA plan. The paper also presents the common problems occurred within a project team and their proposed solutions. It is anticipated that this work will contribute to research in software team projects and teaching practice in software engineering.
