Coming up with features

• Begin the project by brainstorming the features that a user might want in a to-do list application. Write down any feature that comes to mind, no matter how absurd or apparently irrelevant.
• Once you have a preliminary list, prioritize the features. Given one week of programming time, which features could you complete? Which features could be completed given two weeks?
• For each feature to be retained, write a textual narrative describing how it is to be used.

Designing the user interface

• Based on the feature list, sketch a user interface.
• There is no need to write any code at this point.

Written submission

• Write a 2-3 page document including the following:
  • One-week feature list
  • Two-week feature list
  • Narratives that include each feature
  • A justification as to how the proposed user interface design meets the criteria given in the reading assignment

Presentation

• On Monday, January 23, each student will present a feature list and user interface sketch for general discussion during class.
• Each presentation should consist of the following four slides:
  • Summary of overall concept
  • One-week feature list
  • Two-week feature list
  • One sample narrative
