Abstract

In the world of sports, keeping accurate and meaningful statistics is crucial for success. Coaches rely on this information to make important decisions. As a former member of the Ball State University varsity men’s volleyball team, I noticed that the statistic tracking methods used by our coaches was outdated and error-prone. Therefore, I was motivated to create a new and improved software that would greatly improve upon the prior methods. This software project was the creation of PracStat – a voice activated stat-tracking software system designed specifically for the Ball State men’s volleyball program. As the project manager in charge of PracStat, it was my job to drive the project from inception to completion and to lead the team throughout the entire software development life cycle.
