The Business Agility Blog

Over the last few weeks, a class of bachelor students from Technical University Twente completed the course “Business Information Systems” for which they had to work in 5 small, agile teams to build a working business application using Mendix.  Each team could pick from a list of real-life cases and model a fullfledged application “from scratch” in only a few weeks. After completion the teacher graded all projects and awarded the best application with an A (or in Dutch equivalent: 10 out of 10)!

And the winning team is:

… Dennis Pallet and Allard Brand with their Mendix implementation of the “University Enrollment Case”.

Congratulations guys!! Well done! Below is an summary of the jury report:

The University enrollment case is the most complete project for several reasons. First of all, the project was correctly modeled; the project contains several validations, delete behaviour was set and they clearly used the Mendix Modeling conventions. The group was able to make use of webservices to streamline the enrollment process. Further, by calling a Java action, they made it possible to generate passwords given that it requires anonymous access. This realistic approach is supported by both admin interfaces and student interfaces. The group also worked out the idea of sending a welcome email to University’s new applicants. Most important, this University enrollment case reduces lots of manual work, processes are more efficient and the simple sign-up process is user friendly.

Proud-looking Dennis Pallet and Allard Brand
