We have taught a laboratory course on system development at the School of Information Science of Kyushu Sangyo University since 2004. Based on our experience, we decided to address various problems of the education in information system development. We categorized these problems from three viewpoints. First, from the viewpoint of system development, the specific project and the method of development are important. Second, from the viewpoint of the project laboratory, it is difficult for students to do their projects effectively. Third, from the viewpoint of project management, it is a problem for both teachers and students to follow the progress of a project and to maintain control of it. In 2007, in order to solve these problems, we made several improvements, including adding Personal Software Process and Earned Value Management.
