Creating a realistic experience of an IS project: the team of teams approach

This paper describes a final year project course that has been provided at the University of Tasmania and at Deakin University. The technique used has been called the team of teams approach. Unlike many project courses that emphasise the technical issues this course is more evenly focussed on the people involved in the project and the client. Students are formed into relatively large teams of between 9 and 16 and tackle a challenging, realistic project during a single semester.
