the project
An event organizer company entrusts your software development company to create a drone show choreography designer software. They have just bought 256 drones and they want to be able to do smaller-scale drone shows on parties, birthdays and weddings.
The software should be able to manage the position of every drone in a given space in respect of the time. Every drone is capable of switch on RGB LEDs with a given light intensity. The software should be able to manage not just the position, but the state (light) of the drone.
The software generates a trajectory for every drone that it will follow.
Your task is to design this software.

contents
- introduction
- what the software is – practically the project assignment
- team members – students working on the assignment
- stakeholder identification
- methodology
- detailed requirements
- functional requirements
- non-functional requirements
- diagrams and models
- prioritization of requirements
- constraints and assumptions
- acceptance criteria
- appendices
- version history and approvals
diagrams
- user stories
- user story maps
- with BDD-style acceptance criteria
- flowcharts
- first 3 level of C4
- also static and dynamic models of the software
- UML
- UI mockups
diagrams details
- create a user story map in details for one role’s set of features
- for example the choreography design
- you don’t have to detail every single role
- but give an overview of the system
- illustrate the every roles and the connections between them
overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand
– Ben Shneiderman
work in agile methodology
- imagine how you would use a software like this
- what functions would you need
- identify dependencies between the functions / modules
- plan sprints with usable increments
- deadline: 3 December 2024 (week 13)
- when the team also presents the design as a presentation
- practical classes are workshops
- possible feedback from the instructor
- NO CODING
suggested software for
- the document: Google Docs
- user story map: Google Drawings
- flowchart: Google Drawings
- team management: Trello
- UML: draw.io
- C4: Google Drawings
submission
- you have to submit the main design document
- you may indicate who was responsible for each part
- including every diagram
- please keep every version of the diagrams and attach them to the
submission
- I would like to see the evolution of your design
- please keep every version of the diagrams and attach them to the
submission
- and the presentation
you should the submit these by 3 December 2024 via Moodle, when you also present your work
presentation
- the presentation should contain the purpose of the software
- practically the project assignment
- but with your interpretation
- team members
- maybe with responsibilities
- the introduction of your design
- from high level to the low level (according to C4)
- describe the overall design
- focusing on the interactions between your components
- detail at least one of the component to the class level
- attach UI mockups
presentation
- you may separate the presentation by target audience
- for the customer almost as if you wanted “sell” the software and
introduce it from the user’s perspective
- C4 system context, use case, user story flows with UI mockups and explanation
- and a more technical part focusing on the internal structures
- zoom into the system as C4 modelling propagates
- detail the interfaces and the environments where a software will operate
- for the customer almost as if you wanted “sell” the software and
introduce it from the user’s perspective
