 Abstract:

Developing quality information system is always an issue in the IT industry since quality information system is also affected by the values contributed by each team members. In educating university students to develop satisfied information system, the educators need to educate them in building teamwork throughout their development project. This study depicted how university students have used Waterfall model for developing quality information system. The students are required to accomplish their development project according to the required syllabus. The project is considered as their assessment and marks are given to them accordingly. Besides obtaining their assessment result, this study is also concern in looking at their teamwork level. This paper also reports on how the students anticipate within their own team in accomplishing their software project by using Waterfall Model. The study on students’ teamwork has been conducted to analyze teamwork criteria namely shared leadership, team orientation, redundancy, learning and autonomy. Data gathered for this study is collected among students who are doing Computer Science-related project by using online survey. The result of this study has found out that students build up their leadership and improve their teamwork skill and hence gain team members’ trust after accomplishing software project.
