you have worked on from beginning to end.
Determine the various processes that were
required during the planning phase of the project.
• Describe the challenges that were present
throughout the execution of the project identified

development. Explain how phases under each
discipline complement one another to provide an
efficient solution. Determine which discipline
would be optimal for Web development, cloud
computing, and security systems. Support your
answer with a specific rationale or illustration.

• The needs for software development along with
the organization’s business objectives influence
the required software development process model
for a project. Review the various traditional and
iterative software development process models.
Compare and contrast the planning and control
mechanisms required by one traditional software
development process model with one iterative
development process model.
• Differentiate between traditional and iterative
software process models with respect to project
activities and customer interaction. Present
example(s) to support your answer.

analysis of historical project experiences within
the organization. Explain how past experiences of
previous projects within the organization as well
as existing project constraints impact and
influence the design of software project
deliverables. Include an example to support your
answer.

• There are various methods that may be used to
determine activity estimates with respect to
resources, costs, and durations. Choose at least
three estimation techniques that may be used for
determining activity estimates for an IT project.
Describe the pros and cons of each. Determine the
most efficient estimation technique for an IT
project; include an example or scenario to support
your response.

useful for measuring and controlling resource
efforts, project schedules, project costs, and
project features of a software project deliverable.
Identify additional attributes of a software project
that may be important to measure and control.

Assignment 3: Planning a Software Development
Project
Due Week 7 and worth 90 points
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
cloudbased 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
1. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which
you:
a. Determine the factors that must be considered
and observed throughout the WBS
development process and explain why.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Recommend the estimation technique that
should be used for each activity (i.e., PERT,
Delphi, Analogy, Expert Judgment, or Rule of
Thumb).
e. Determine the major milestones that the project
will encounter.
f. 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.
Section 2: Project Plan
2. Use Microsoft Project to:
a. Document all resources that would be required
for this project within the Resource Sheet
form within the software.
b. List all the activities required for the project.
Break down the activities by the major
milestones.
c. Enter the estimate of required durations,
dependencies, and assign resources for each
activity.
d. Generate a Gantt chart that shows all of the
project deliverables, from beginning to end.
The specific course learning outcomes associated

with this assignment are:
Explain the planning process for software
projects.
Develop a software project plan based on IEEE
1058 to solve a business problem.
Compare the planning techniques in software
projects.
Explain and prepare project estimation plans.
Use technology and information resources to
research issues in IT Project Leadership
Strategies.

to IT Project Leadership Strategies using proper
writing mechanics and technical style conventions

"Project Risks" Please respond to the following:
When managing a project, project managers
must remain vigilantto project risk management.
Summarize at least three risks that may impact
the success of a large technologyproject. Relate
each risk to a specific project attribute.
Analyze how the risks identified in Part 1 of this
discussion may impact the project and project
deliverables.

STRAYER CIS 554 Week 8 Discussion 2 Risk
Management NEW
strayer/cis-554-week-8-discussion-2-risk-
management-new
"Risk Management" Please respond to the
following:
Risk management plays an important role within
the software project management life cycle.
Determine at least three techniques that can be
used to identify and analyze project risk factors.
Rationalize how these techniques can minimize
project cost overruns, schedule delays, and
defects.

• Project managers must have a clear distinction
between managing versus leading. Describe at
least three characteristics that distinguish
managing from leading within the software project
management discipline. Explain how the attributes
identified may be exemplified and portrayed by
you, the project manager.
• Project managers are responsible for
maintaining the morale of the project team. Assess
the typical activities that a project manager must
perform to ensure that the human factors and
psychological elements of job satisfaction are
present within the project team.

• Teamwork is essential for ensuring that
individuals work in a cooperative manner to
achieve project goals. Synthesize at least three
factors that contribute to efficient and effective
software engineering team development.
• Describe how the dimensions of social styles
presented within the text allow project managers
to communicate effectively with project team
members. Explain the view that communication
may be tailored to accommodate the
communication styles of individuals based on the
dimension of the social styles model.

Intellectual capital is a common derivative from
managing a software project. Justify how
intellectual capital may be measured from a
project management perspective with three
examples or scenarios that support your position.
Evaluate how each measure discussed in Part 1 of
this discussion adds value to the organization, the
organization resources, and its overall strategy.
