  Teaching methods and instruction

  NOTE: From Autumn 2023 this course will be scheduled to start from the semester start (not period 2) and defined as a 16-week course (can still be done in shorter time)
  
  This is the second course of the renewed business intelligence course setup.
  
  It is setup as a 8 - 12 week non-stop e-learning approach with the strong recommendation to utilize Zoom sessions with teacher/customer as part of submitted iterations.
  
  The two BI-courses build on a Business Intelligence Framework, stressing the importance of creating business value, valuing the strategy alignment, imposing the importance of BI-maturity understanding and suggests the need for an agile approach to BI-development life cycles.
  
  In this second course the student runs a project in which a BI-solution based on user stories and agile development principles are created.
  
  The architecture utilized is Power BI Desktop - Power BI Pro (cloud) - SharePoint.
  Power BI pro license will be provided by Haaga-Helia.
  
  Students that have passed the BI-basic has precedence but teacher can accept also students without the basic course - send a request with you intents and interest to the teacher. You can be provided with learning materials and even then (if interested) RPL the basic course before or after the BI Dev project is done. Teacher will contact by email students enrolled without basic course - to agree on steps to take or removal from enrollment.
  
  The amount of students accepted to one implementaton is restricted by the amount of HH Power BI pro licenses available (25)

  Student can, as a member of the team, implement a valid and ready-to-use solution to the customer’s problem.

  Starting level and linkage with other courses

  Before attending this course, students must have completed the courses Server Programming, Data Management and Databases, and Software Project. Or student has obtained corresponding skills. Front End Development and Mobile Development course skills are also needed.
  
  Note: This course is meant only for software development oriented students. Furthermore, students cannot take this course and other big 5. semester project course (Digital Service, Business, Infra) at the same semester as the course schedules for all these are put on the same times on purpose, and attendance is mandatory.

  Contents

  This course will be implemented as a project, with project management methods. Student will sign a project contract with Haaga-Helia at the start of the course. Students will be assigned to certain teams based on prior knowledge, available projects, required and mastered language (Finnish and/or English) and needs of each project.
  
  Students will implement and demonstrate ready-to-use solutions to the customer. Students will learn the needs of the customer, specify and plan the solution and agree with the customer upon the used technologies, that are the best-suited ones for this problem, considering also the team’s initial skill level and learning goals.
  1. Project assigned by the commissioner (customer company or organization)
  2. Project work management, change management and contract principles
  3. Project goal related development tools, environment and documentation practices provided by the commissioner.
  4. Software development process models and methods 5. Interaction, tutoring and presentation skills

  Assessment criteria

  Assessment criteria - grade 5

  Accepted grades 1-5
  
  Assessment will be based on student’s skills and efforts in the above-mentioned course contents. The emphasis of the grade will be the following:
  - Researching new technology and tutoring others 15%
  o Student will take responsibility of studying one or more technologies needed in the project and teaching it/them to the others e.g. in a workshop.
  - Project management and project final essay 35 %
  o Student has many role- or competence-based tasks and responsibilities in the project. Students devise and maintain appropriate project management and progress monitoring documentation and take care of project trackability and traceability both from internal and external controls’ points-of-view. Student reflects his/her as well as the team’s actions in the final essay.
  - Appropriate documentation of the results and the technical solution that fulfills customer’s needs 50 %
  o Often most of the costs of an information system come from maintenance and changes. Also, the future developers of the system are different from the original developers. Thus, we put a big emphasis on the quality of the documentation, source etc. code, and automated testing and continuous integration – the professional development pipeline.
  o Quality of the documentation does not mean lengthy or all-covering documentation, but that needed and most valuable information is available and only that. Also, high-quality code is often self-explanatory.
  
  Examples of results and tasks that will be evaluated per project team
  - Software requirements: defined, audited, and accepted by the customer
  - Technical requirements: defined, well-argued, and accepted by the customer
  - Source etc. code: in common version control system
  - Testing: testing planned, plan accepted by the customer, corresponding tests run, and test report published
  - Project and work management: appropriate project management (external control) and agreed practice (internal control) documentation, following the agreed timelines, and sound communication.
  
  The Commissioner gives evaluation of each of these parts or results
  
  Examples of results and tasks that will be evaluated per each student
  - Integrity and trustworthiness. Taking responsibility for oneself and of the team.
  - Research and tutoring: The technology that was the responsibility of the student has been taken into use in the team appropriately. Technology was taught to others based on the need. Student has been able to reflect his/her own responsibility area.
  - Development tasks: The student’s completion of the responsibilities in planned timeframe (implementation days, sprint, …) and the quality awareness and assurance (e.g. definition of done).
  - Project final essay.
  
  Grade-wise criteria
  Discussed in the beginning of the course. Each grade adds more requirements in both quantity and quality.

  The studies are more like insights in given subjects inspired and driven by the suggested references and own findings rather than reporting the facts from the references like they appear on the text. The study is holding too a conclusions part and rationale as an introduction. Length as required. In general, the quality of the text is excellent and rich in facts. Submissions are done in time.
  
  Grade 3
  The studies are based on the suggested references, no own findings essentially. Besides the findings/facts from the references, some own thoughts are present on text related to the subject. A short conclusion part at the end and sense making in the beginning are found but the text is more like driven by references (producing the text in a reporting manner). Length close to the required size. In general, the quality of the text is nice offering somewhat an effortless reading experience. Submissions are done in time.
  
  Grade 1
  The study is based just on a one of the given references, if any. The text is typically hastily composed by picking some of the facts from the references and the integrity of the study is modest.
  Submission is in time or slightly delayed. The learning of the given subject is partial which is evidenced by the quality and the general impression (gut feeling) of the study.
  
  Note! The characterization above doesn't bring forth the alternative ways of producing studies like writing the study fully based on own experiences provided with a thin theory part which could be an excellent study. That's why certain characteristics may give a push up to the score which are explained on the Course Moodle pages and shortly here: relevance of the facts and the size of study; synthetic analysis type of approach in producing the text, insightful findings/own ponderings, use of examples and linkage to project management practicalities, richness of facts (and relevance); the ideas and flow of the text are easy to follow, no plagiarism (a subject to fine)

  Teaching methods and instruction

  The course is allocated on periods 1-2 and 3-4, lectured during two periods. The course could be passed on two ways, (1) the passing grade option, a short course, where the done work is less and the grade will stay lower compared to (2) the standard course. The grade achieved by doing the short course is typically 1-2/5 but could be pushed up by doing some extra work.
  
  The lecturing is held online on every second, students preparing meanwhile the given assignments in pairs (or small groups if more than 40 participants). The overall timeline of the short course is 10 weeks. The course is started by a pre-assignment which will ensure your seat on the course.
  
  Each of the module (see on next) is holding four assigments yet there are too, four short assignments of the project management key concepts (individual).
  The nominal output of writing essays is ca. max 4 pages per week plus the short key term assignments each of them could be answered on 1-1,5 pages.

  Learning assignments

  Studying on the course is based on the 5 modules and study by free choice yet the short course is holding just four modules.
  Each module is featuring a key theme dividing into four assignments
  Module 1: Project lifecycle and other key concepts; Characteristics of unsuccessful IT-projects; Controlling of unsuccessful projects etc. *)
  Module 2: Initializing a project - tools and methods and practices involved in initializing phase, the very first stage
  Module 3: Planning a project - learning tools and methods and practices related to the planning a project
  Module 4: Executing a project - this module is dominantly about human perspective of projects such as project manager role and responsibilities, controlling of projects; stakeholder management; team working
  Module 5: After the project - benefits realization management; change management and portfolio management
  Module 6/ study by free choice - the topic could be anything within the project management - 5 pages long text per student, in pairs, double.
  
  Some examples of the given assignments:
  1) Studies on given assignments are focusing on certain themes, for example establishing a project organization. Then the study by a student shall provide the suggested number of viewpoints on given theme based on given/found references and if possible on own experiences and ponderings. The instructions is holding a more detailed quidelines for example teacher's advises and tiplist to help the student in finding the relevant viewpoints and references
  
  2) Practical project management problems, events where the student shall give his/her best understanding by writing an essaybabout solution for relaxing a troublesome situation or a minor project management case (for example how to manage scope creep or leaving expert or such). Writing the answer is supported by tips and guidelines to give some ideas for a starting point.
  
  3) Hands-on tasks would be nice but they are highly difficult to fulfill due the type/format of the course (so far they are as options left to be fulfilled in future)

  Teaching methods and instruction

  Project learning in connection to the case. Schedules and content affected by the case.
  
  This course is closer to the graduation and requires more mature approach from students than earlier courses. Only take this course if you are able to work together with other people and understand how professionals learn together.

  Learning material and recommended literature

  There is no book that would cover all the topics. A multitude of materials and models will be covered and used. Not details of the material is required for best grades.

  Teachers

  Juhani Välimäki

  Working life connections

  The project has been done practically always to a customer.

  Campus

  Pasila Campus

  Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

  The course has so many little quizzes that re-exam rules do not apply to them. Still at least two chances to improve each are provided. Dates and times are negotiated with students based on whether the case starts immediately or e.g. after eight weeks. And also based on what times are suitable for those students who want to retake. It's impossible to give a schedule in the beginning that would hold to the end. And thus it makes no sense.

  Teaching language

  English

  Internationality

  Students are mostly non-Finnish. Exchange students sometimes take this course but should take it only with caution. Do they have enough background in backend, frontend and database development? Do they have enough hours for this course?

  Timing

  16.01.2023 - 19.05.2023

  Learning assignments

  There are too many assignments to be listed before. Assignments also vary based on what is needed in the case and what students need the most. There are no specific evaluated assignments with scoring but the general contribution might have slight grade raising effect.
  
  Assignments are no more instructed "click here and then click there" -detail like on basic courses. Successful completion of tasks requires in most cases: Following teacher's demonstrations, asking questions, thinking, then starting own work and still looking for information - like things happen in real working life.

  Enrollment

  02.01.2023 - 13.01.2023

  Content scheduling

  The learning is more intensive in the first period of the semester. There are some fixed topics that are needed in the case usually in this order, though based on the case or starting level of the students changes might happen:
  Scrum, difficult features of EcmaScript, backend, architecture, database, frontend, git process, linux and setting up needed servers, other topics needed for that semester's case.
  
  It's more than recommended to take the Software Project course at the same time. Otherwise learning the topics might be tough. And there is no week where the estimated 10-12h per week would not be reached for this course only, taking into account that this course has emphasis on the beginning of the semester.
  
  25h per week has to be reserved for both courses at the same time.

  Teaching methods and instruction

  In Bite this is the first sofware development project course (Finnish curriculum differs by three courses, status at 27.11.2022) where students learn to manage a Scrum project, possible plan product, implement it, communicate and work in group of 10-25 developers working on common code, with version management. The advisory and improvement of the project skills is constant as most of the students are beginners in many aspects.

  Learning material and recommended literature

  There are even too many models learned on this course. But complete mastering is not expected. The learning and utilization of the same models will contínue still on the next semester project course, or student's own other challenges.
  
  There are of course books on Software Engineering. They tend to be old fashioned emphasizing the tradional heavy design and planning. The agile development is often just glued on the top. But no single book can cover all the topics. The contents are trule multidisciplinary.
