Project Infrastructure Usage Requirements

I kind of see this class as "playing house" for doing more serious project management on bigger projects in a professional setting. One difference is that most of us won't have to set up all the project management goo, we'll just have to use it. Using the term "playing house" is a little demeaning but it communicates some of the vibes I'm sensing from my group members (which might not actually be there, my group members have lots of other classwork to worry about, and this is the only class I'm taking).

One of these "vibes" is that it seems a little artificial to build up all this project management stuff and then actually use it, because we haven't had use for this stuff previously are we aren't forced to use it in this class. We'd probably be better initiated in to using this stuff if we had a standard set of tools that the whole class could play with, along with assignments like Using a Ticket System, or Using a Revision Control System. In the meantime, I don't know how usage the project infrastructure will see since their don't seem to be many hard requirements in the class to do so.
