Assignment
3: Planning a Software Development Project
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a
written project plan, and a project plan that is created through the use of MS
Project. You must submit both sections
as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file
name according to the section of the assignment it is written for.
Imagine that you have been hired as a project
manager assisting in the development of a mobile application and cloud-based
solution which is designed to streamline your organization’s delivery
operation. As project manager, you are to manage the development and release of
the mobile client platform in the cloud-based infrastructure that will use GPS
tracking to track the shipment and delivery of goods in trucks across the
United States.
The mobile client will have three (3) modules
consisting of a search customer screen, search address screen, and confirm
delivery screen. Programmers have reviewed the requirements and estimate that
each module will take 200 hours to complete by one (1) programmer.
In addition to delivering the mobile-based
application, your project will require upgrading the internal network and
application infrastructure to a cloud-based model to support the new mobile
platform. This effort will require your team to procure network appliances to
optimize the security factors of the cloud-based platform.
One last component of the project scope is to
provide training to operation support staff and fifty (50) truck drivers
staffed across four (4) regions of the U.S. Your project team consists of two
(2) programmers, a technical writer, four (4) technical trainers, two (2)
network engineers, and one (1) system administrator.
Section
1: Written Project Plan
- Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
- Determine the factors that must be considered
and observed throughout the WBS development process and explain why.
- Create a WBS for the scope of the project. Note: The WBS must be in indented
format as shown in Figure 5.5B in Chapter 5 of the text.
- Analyze the various activities required for
this project and provide an estimate of duration for each activity based
on the number of resources available for the project. Include assumptions
and basis for each estimate.
- Recommend the estimation technique that
should be used for each activity (i.e., PERT, Delphi, Analogy, Expert
Judgment, or Rule of Thumb).
- Determine the major milestones that the
project will encounter.
- Describe the logical sequence of planned
activities required to achieve the project and analyze how monitoring
durations on the critical path influence the success of the project.
Section 1 of your assignment must follow these
formatting requirements:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The
cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
assignment page length.
