Performing Effective Project Monitoring and Risk Management
Imagine that you are employed as an IT project manager by a
prestigious coffeemaker organization. This organization
operates many coffee shops within the region and would like to
promote its brand by creating a mobile application that will
provide its customers with the ability to view the nearest coffee
shop location within their geographical area.
As a member of the software development team, you estimate a
total project cost of $150,000. You have designated control
points to measure project progress. At control point 2, the
following data is available:
Budget Cost of Work Performed
$ 24,000
Actual Cost of Work Performed
$ 27,500
There are various stakeholders that are interested in the
progress of the project. These stakeholders include the
marketing management team (internal customers), software
designers, programmers, testers, and upper management. The
software development team has attempted to release a mobile
application of this magnitude in the past; however, lack of
sponsorship, mobile development expertise, and technical
infrastructure has limited the team’s success.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Identify at least four (4) attributes of the mobile application
development project that can be measured and controlled and
evaluate how each is a critical factor for the success of the
project.
Generate a project plan summary of the various project
milestones. Develop a WBS that details work packages required
to complete project scope.

2. Develop a workflow model that can be used to inspect and
detect defects during the acceptance of this mobile product
through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio,
or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically
depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Describe how the defects detected during the acceptance of the
mobile application should be reported and explain the
circumstances in which a defect may not require reporting.
Analyze the communication needs of the different project
stakeholders. Explain the types of project status reports that
would be useful to each.
Compute the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance
index, schedule performance index, and estimated actual cost
using the information presented at control point 2. Interpret the
project schedule and budget status from the calculations.
Explain how work package, binary tracking, and earned valued
reporting can be used effectively during the maintenance phase
of the software life cycle if various change requests may be
assigned to individuals and processed on an individual basis.
Develop a risk register that will document all of the estimated
risks. Assign one (1) risk management technique for each risk
and explain the basis for your selection.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note:
Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
resources.
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.
Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or Dia. The

3. completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word
document before the paper is submitted.
