2. 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:

3. 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:
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.
