Professor Guide - Running the 4-Task Assignment

This assignment teaches students how structured information requirements and clear roles improve delivery - from EIR/AIR definition to verification, handover, and final acceptance.

Format - Individual or Teams

Option A - Students work individually

Best for solo assessment and quick setup. Each student can complete all four tasks inside a free Plannerly account.

Suggested workflow
  • Students sign up and start the assignment in their own workspace
  • They complete Tasks 1-4 in order, exporting key deliverables to File Manager
  • They submit screenshots/exports (or a short screen recording) as evidence

Option B - Students work in teams (recommended)

Best for collaboration, role clarity, and review workflows. Typical teams are 3-5 students. Teams of 4 map neatly to the four tasks.

How teams can split the work
  • 4-person team: one student per task (Tasks 1-4)
  • 5-6 person team: pair up on the heavier tasks (often Tasks 2 and 3)
  • Any split is fine - the key is that the final handover looks consistent and complete

If you want teams - how to set up the education workspace

Team projects require an Education account so you can create workspaces and projects, then invite students to a shared project.

Practical setup tip
We recommend one shared workspace per class, and either: (a) one project per team, or (b) one project per student (if you still want individual submissions, but with a shared teaching environment).

How to run the assignment (simple teaching plan)

Task 1

Define information requirements clearly (what + why) so delivery teams can follow them.

Task 2

Turn requirements into a delivery plan (BEP + MIDP) and link Work Packages to models.

Task 3

Verify before submitting - then package deliverables so handover is structured and reliable.

Task 4

Owner review + acceptance - archive non-operational items and capture lessons learned.
