Project development is crucial in academics since it helps learners gather the knowledge necessary to solve real-life challenges in social-economic environments. One of the significant reasons to participate in project development is that it enhances independent thinking that promotes an individual's prerequisite competencies in education. Project development also equips participants with knowledge and skills to solve open-ended problems that involve analysis, design, development, and maintenance of information systems. Project management skills are also crucial in project development, and participating in project development enables project managers to learn timelines and proper schedules to handle their management work.
Lastly, participation in project development and management enhances practical communication skills to people involved in project development. It all starts with project managers, involved stakeholders or partners, the development team, the testing team, and any other individual involved in project development. These communication skills are achieved through consultation and inquisitive communication between the people involved in the exercise.
This article will discuss the significant steps in developing a Capstone project that is expected to take eight weeks of problem analysis, system design, development, implementation and coding, and lastly, deployment and maintenance. These phases represent the Software Development Life Cycle, the most popular development approach used by many developers. Therefore, the Capstone project will follow the following timeline. Week 1. Requirement Gathering and Analysis Expectations
In software development, there are many development areas where you can suit your development depending on the interests and the type of software to develop. For example, the CAR 490 Capstone CSIS is a student leadership model that involves frequent interaction

between the user and the system. For that reason, as a developer, you will need to consider a development environment that supports interactive software development. For example, this Capstone project will be most suitable when developed as a Web application because website development supports the development of user-interactive software that is easy and economical to access and interact with. 1.
Problem statement
In the near past, student leaders have found it difficult to provide service delivery to their colleagues and difficulties in teaming with industry members who help shape effective leadership.
2.
Importance/worth of doing the CAR 490 Capstone project
This project is essential in building a system software that will provide an effective leadership model and help students and student leaders team with different members from different organizations who will aid in shaping an effective and reliable leadership.
3.
What is already known
There has been an existing student leadership system that has been operational for a more extended period. Unfortunately, its operations have deteriorated recently, forcing the students and involved members to propose a new student leadership model to enhance their service delivery. The new model will improve on the services provided by the existing system to ensure all leadership challenges are effectively solved. 4.
What we need to know to solve the problem
To develop an effective leadership model, there are several things we need to know and evaluate before the development process. These include;

●
All the requirements needed to develop the leadership system
●
The board expectation of the system ●
Specific identification and analysis of weaknesses of the existing system
●
The development period of the student leadership system.
●
The development approach to develop the system
5.
Project timeline/schedule
The development of the student leadership model is expected to take place in a fixed period of 8 weeks, where all laid measures and procedures are expected to be completed in line with the stipulated time of each activity.
Thus, every individual and group involved in the development process is expected to participate in their allocated areas to complete each task within the given period. Week 2: Design Expectations
System design is the foundation of every system development. It serves as the blueprint of the complete project development by following all the proposed design measures and procedures to develop a particular system. A better choice of design method provides a successful development
that fulfills all the set objectives and expectations of a system. The Capstone student leadership model will follow the Netlify design model that provides effective development procedures for Web applications and other systems. The Netlify design model enables developers to develop solutions by hosting and serverless backend development of static websites. 1.
How to solve the design problem
The application of the Netlify design model will help design an interactive system that will ensure the development of a user interactive web application that will solve the student

leadership challenges. We will develop a design model that supports interactive services and an effective graphical user interface that will help individuals interact with the system in this design phase. Considering all requirements proposed for the system, the design will be flexible to ensure
every design problem is solved within this phase. 2.
Final deliverables for the project design
The final deliverable/outcome of this phase is a well-designed system that will help solve the final problem, which is developing an effective student leadership model. 3.
User requirements for the solution
The design team will require several requirements to achieve the design process of the student leadership model. These requirements will help in achieving the final expectations of the design process. Some of the requirements include;
●
The Netlift design tool
●
Proposed standards and procedures of the system ●
Complete development analysis of the whole system ●
A powerful computer device to use in the design process
4.
System architecture and components
The development of the student leadership system will follow a Serverless development architecture that is suitable for developing web applications. Considering the design model Netlify that supports serverless backend development of web applications, the Serverless development architecture is the most suitable to solve this development problem. The final system will use a cloud-based server system available in Amazon Cloud Services or Microsoft Cloud services.

Week 3: Implementation and Coding Expectations
This week's work will be to implement the design procedures and write the required code to develop the Student Leadership Model. The design implementation will follow the Netlify design model that will help in designing a system that will fully solve the existing problem. This phase is scheduled to last in the next two weeks with all activities completed as scheduled. The expectations of this implementation and coding phase are as follows;
●
Implement and code a system that will provide solution to the project problem, ●
Error free system that will support effective user interface and graphics ●
Write a program code that support different operating systems to run the web application Week 4: Implementation and Coding Outcome
Through this week, we will determine whether the implementation and coding expectations are fully achieved. This process will be done through evaluating and comparing the expectations proposal from the previous week, and the outcome of the implementation and coding phase. The following are the outcome of the implementation and coding output. ●
The implementation and coding phase provided development of an effective system that follows the correct design process and other highlighted requirements from the previous development phases
●
The implementation process exhibited positive outcome which effectively solved the Capstone project
●
The developed system seemed not to operate on different operating systems which was the expectation of the implementation and design phase.

Week 5: Testing and Testing Expectation
The testing process is done immediately after implementation and coding analysis. With all expectations achieved, the testing team will perform the system testing to gather the expected outcome of the testing phase. The testing process will take a minimum of two weeks with all testing activities done and proper analysis done on the functionality of the developed system. The testing team and all members involved in this exercise are required to gather all the necessary tools and requirements to ensure effective testing of the system. The following are testing hypotheses and questions to be answered during the project testing. ●
Does the system perform what is intended to perform?
●
Does the system provide users with interactive services ?
●
Does the system follow all design and development procedures and requirements?
●
Does the system fulfill all the set objectives and goals?
●
Is the system able to solve the Capstone problem?
Week 6: Implementation and Coding changes
The whole of week six discussion is about making all possible improvements on the developed system to ensure effective service delivery to all users. These changes are done to ensure all the expected goals and objectives. The system implementation and coding changes are expected to solve the problem that are not fully solved by the initial implementation and coding phase. The project manager and all involved members are held responsible to ensure the system fully fulfills
the set goals and objectives. The following are the expected changes to the system;

Week 7: Testing Expectations
With all testing procedures and implementation done and analysed, the system will require another testing to make sure that the proposed changes are well implemented as required by the system. The analysis of the system analysis will then be updated to accommodate the new improved system. This phase will take a minimum of one week and every activity should already
be complete. By this time the analysis of the performance of the developed system should be well developed to confirm that the system is ready for deployment and operation. Week 8: Deployment Expectations
This is the last phase in the development process where the deployment of the system should be done to put the student leadership model in operation. In this phase, the expectations of the system is that it should be able to solve all the problems in this development cycle. By the time the system deployment is done, all the members are expected to be able to comfortably interact with the system. This is achieved by providing the necessary training on how to operate with the new developed system. All the individuals mandated to carry out the training process are expected to fully organize training groups to educate their users on the operation skills required for the new student leadership model.
