Each student must work in a process role AND participate in development. Points awarded under Process and Development roles will be based on evidence provided in Portal. Each Process Role has particular artifacts that indicate what effort was expended (e.g., configuration management plan). Similarly, design and implementation result in deliverables. Lack of supporting evidence results in no points awarded.
