It outlines how the PMO Workbook helped with documentation, tracking project scope, changes, risks, and issues. Metrics show Bayfront achieved a 95% success rate for on-time and on-budget project completion since implementing the PMO Workbook in 2004, significantly higher than industry averages.
Project management methodologies change over time but one element of all projects always remains important - Project Charter. Here I am sharing a template for a medium to large implementation project type of project, for example SAP system implementation.
The document discusses various aspects of software project management including the management scope, people, product, process, and project. It also covers the W5HH principle for defining key project characteristics including why the system is being developed, what will be done, when it will be done, who is responsible, where people are located, how the job will be done technically and authoritatively, and how many resources are needed. Finally, it discusses software metrics for measuring aspects like size, quality, and productivity.
Project Plan For A Project Management ProjectMary Stevenson
Here are the key steps for the induction program project plan:
1. Define project objectives - Clearly state what the project aims to achieve.
2. Develop project schedule - Create a timeline that outlines all tasks and their deadlines.
3. Assign roles and responsibilities - Designate project manager and team member roles.
4. Create communication plan - Determine how the team will communicate status and issues.
5. Develop budget - Estimate costs for all project activities and materials.
6. Identify risks - Anticipate potential challenges and have contingency plans.
7. Plan evaluations - Determine how the project and team performance will be assessed.
8. Get sign-off - Obtain final approval
This document discusses software project scheduling. It explains that project scheduling involves identifying tasks, determining dependencies between tasks, estimating task durations, allocating resources, and determining start and end dates. The critical path is the sequence of tasks that determines the project duration. The document also discusses software prototyping, which involves creating initial prototypes, reviewing them, and revising them based on feedback, to help define requirements before full development. Common prototyping methods include incremental, throwaway, extreme, and evolutionary prototyping.

DescriptionThe Aires Corporation is highly desirous of implementi.docxcarolinef5
Description
The Aires Corporation is highly desirous of implementing a new time tracking system to help automate their project control system, accounting and account receivables. The time tracking system is designed to allow employees and subcontractors to charge hours against project control accounts and to help prevent mischarging. The system is called Chronos and it is written in a modern database management system, which is the preferred database platform by Aires. The project is to integrate the time card system to project management, accounting and accounts receivable/payables. The Director of Information Technology (IT) has assigned an integration project to you as project manager; in addition, the director assigned a senior systems engineer to be the project's technical lead.
The Software Engineer has a team of five (5) developers that will work on the project; the Director has asked for a project management plan to be briefed to the IT senior leadership team, which is in a few days. Your mission is to construct a Microsoft Project proposal to help prepare for the briefing. You are also to construct a quick Total Project Cost (TPC) cross reference work sheet to verify the accuracy of the MS Project effort.
Organizing
As project manager, you meet with your development team and determine that the interface will be composed of input screens, interface processes, and verification reports for the integration of the time tracking system to the other legacy financial systems. The Developers have indicated that they would like to receive training on the Chronos system to help them with the database structures to facilitate the integration. The training would have to occur before any other activity could evolve. The team is highly adept to the other systems being used and the integration risk is mainly centered on Chronos Time Tracking system since it is new to the organization. The team has decided that the plan should be oriented on Design, Programming, Quality Assurance, Rework, Documentation, User Training, and Production. Lastly, the team recommended support from the Chronos vendor to address technical questions they might have during development of the interface. As project manager, you note that there are special stakeholders and decide to involve support from Finance and Project Management to address process and procedure questions that might arise during the design, development and testing of the interface. The outcome of the planning meeting with the entire project team is represented in the list under scope and schedule.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

3. ABSTRACT
Project Objectives
The Software engineering course that we took this semester placed emphasis on the paradigm of
eXtreme Programming (XP) techniques. Extreme programming is a programming technique that
bases its values on simplicity, communication, feedback and courage. It encourages team work and
constant communication with the client. The objective of this project is to put into practice the
teachings that we have learnt about XP.
Approach
When we were first given this project, we met to determine how we were to carry out the task
assigned to us. We drew up a time-line, discussed about the programming language to use to carry
out the task, how the GUI would look like and also to make sure that we understood what was
assigned to us. We finally settled for Visual Basic (VB) as our programming language. We got more
information on what we were to do and set about completing our task, making use of the new ideas
taught in class, and especially spikes.
Achievement
Our task was to develop a payroll system that would keep a record of employee data including their
pension plan, union membership status, and taxes and also to be able to calculate the pay of the
employees taking into consideration employee data. We have been able to achieve these task. The
software we developed calculates the employee net pay from the deductions. The payslip can be
printed out as a receipt. Most of the bugs that we found and those that the clients and beta users
found have been corrected. Any new bugs found will also be corrected and the software will be
updated and released. Because we used object-oriented principles, modifying the software to fix bugs
or add a new feature has been relatively easy.

5. CHAPTER 1
PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 Definition of Problem
In XP, the user story serves the purpose of the problem statement and the specifications. The user
story provided by the client was as follows:
“You are to design and implement a payroll system that should accept employee hours
worked, compute net pay and record all the payroll data for subsequent processing. The
system should prepare pay cheques and a payroll ledger, and maintain data on a sequential
payroll file. Non-statutory deductions such as union dues and pension plans to be made.
“The payroll data are employee number, employee name, pay rate, and union member flag.
The year-to-date total should contain earnings, federal tax, pension plan, and union dues”
To accomplish these tasks, we had to meet with the client to find out exactly what the program is
meant to do. Here are the sub stories that we were able to get from the client:
The program accepts employee hours worked
The program computes net pay
The program record all the payroll data for subsequent processing
The program should prepare pay cheques
The program should prepare a payroll ledger
The program should maintain data on a sequential payroll file
Non-statutory deductions such as union dues and pension plans to be made
Year-to-date total should contain earnings, federal tax, pension plan, and union dues
Payroll data are employee number, employee name, pay rate, and union member flag
1.2 Terminology Definition
This section gives a definition and explanation of some of the terms used in the project:
Employee Data: This is the employee's information in the company. It consists of the employee
identification number, employee name, pay rate, pension plan flag, and union member flag.
Payroll Records: The payroll records are used to store each month’s hours worked, and the rates for
that month.
Rates: Rates consists of the percentage that would be deducted from the gross pay depending on
union membership status, pension plan, state and federal tax. Each employee can have a unique
hourly rate.
5
6. Payroll Ledger: This is a table that shows the calculated pay of employees and the month in which
they earned the pay. The ledger can be filtered by name, identification number, year and month.
Hours Worked: This is the number of times that an employee work in a month. The hours worked is
used to calculate the pay that an employee will receive for that month.
Net Pay: The net pay is the final salary amount that would be given to the employee after all the
deductions are subtracted from the gross pay. The deductions include among others taxes, union
member dues and pension plan.
Gross Pay: The gross pay is the amount that the employee earns before the deductions are
subtracted.
Deductions: Deductions are made up of taxes, union membership dues, pension plan. They are
subtracted from the gross pay to give the net pay which is the employee's final pay for the month.
Taxes: The taxes consists of the state dues and federal dues. A percentage of the employee's salary
goes to state and country.
Union Membership Dues: This is meant for employee's that are union workers in the company.
They get to pay a percentage for union dues. An employee can be a union member and later change
status to be a non-union member.
Pension Plan: Employees that opted to use the pension plan of the company get to pay a particular
percentage of their pay in preparation for their retirement.
Payslip: These are similar to pay cheques. They allow the employee to have his or her pay printed
out on paper so that they can cash it.
Year-To-Date Total: The year-to-date total is the summation of all the previous earnings till the
month before the current month.
1.3 Definition of Project Objectives
The purpose of this project is to put into practice what we have learnt so far in our software
engineering class. We spent most of the semester studying extreme programming. With extreme
programming, the client knows how far he or her software is coming and knows what to except at
one particular time or the other. The software is built exactly the way the client wants it to be built.
1.4 Project Deliverables
We met with our client on a few occasions to show our progress so far. In the long run, showing the
client part of the finished product in stages helped. There were a few things he brought to our
understanding and we were able to change those things. If we had waited till we finished the coding,
we would have found it really difficult to correct the errors we found in such a short time.
The graphical user interface was acceptable to the client at this stage even though he thought we
could improve on it with a little more time. From our project deliverables, the client was able to
bring to our understanding that the employees should have different pay rates and that it would be
safe (for record purposes) to calculate the employee's year-to-data total salary earnings. These
observations were later incorporated into the final deliverable.
6
7. 1.5 Project Plan
At the beginning of the project, we scheduled meeting time for the group to discuss on the design
and implementation of the software and what language to use in writing the software. We had several
meetings to this effect. When then developed a time-line for the project–when we would be releasing
the first version for scrutiny and the estimated time we thought we would use for refactoring. We also
pondered on a suitable name to give the project. We came up with the name “Piccolo” but it was later
changed to “Payroll System” after our meeting with our client.
The group was then divided into two pairs that would work on parts of the code. We kept in touch
with each other and whenever we had difficulties, we asked each other questions. On some
occasions, we had to pretend we were the customer so as to try to figure out some of the things that
user would desire, such as the friendliness of the user interface and ease of navigation through the
software. We also created a blog so that we could communicate with each other, and also so that our
client could track our progress http://project2.wordpress.com
When we discovered that we were behind schedule, we met to create a new time-line. We were
behind schedule mostly because of our different engagements in school work and other personal
issues. Fortunately for the team, we were able to stick to the new time-line and the project was
completed in due time.
After the major part of the code was completed, we went ahead to lace the code, that is, adding
exception handlers which will make the software more robust. We avoided this at the beginning
because we did not want to get confused with too many lines of code.
The version of the software that has been released can still be improved depending on user response.
So far, we have succeeded in completing the desired goal of from the user stories given to us. The
beta software has been released about three times and we have been able to get good ideas from the
various users on how to improve the functionality, reliability and robustness of the software.

DESIGN
2.1 An Introduction to the methods and techniques adopted
within the design
The software was built using Visual Basic and it can run on computers that have the .NET
Framework installed. We divided the whole project into five main modules: employee data, payroll
records, rates, ledger and help.
When a data is saved, the data gets written into an XML file. Keeping in line with making the
software platform-independent, XML is also a highly platform-independent format for storing data.
This is where all the data of the employee is stored, along with each month’s payroll data for the
employee. There is also a separate XML file for storing current rates. For an employee data or
payroll data to be saved to the file, it has to be serialized. Getting any data from the file will require
the data to first be deserialized before it can be used. Serialization and deserialization helped make
the data storage very simple.
We also used the object-oriented paradigm to code and organize our program. This ensured code
reuse, and efficient updating of the code later on.

2.3 More detailed description of the most important modules
of the design
The most important modules of the design are the employee data, payroll records and rates. For the
employee data module, we had to keep track of the identification number, name, union membership
status, pension plan agreement and payroll of an employee. We also had to link these to a general
8
9. module that will hold all the other employees. There had to be a means of storing all these data,
retrieving them, adding data and deleting data without giving any errors. From the employee data
module, we had to create a link to the employee's pay records.
The payroll records had to contain the number of hours that the employee had worked and in what
month and year that the employee worked. We also had to keep in mind the rate with which we
would be able to calculate the employee's pay. The payroll records also had to contain the employee's
deductions, that is, the deductions from the pension plan, union membership fee and taxes.
Obviously, the payroll records also had to contain the gross and net pay of the employee.
The picture below shows a brief look at the modules of the original design.
We refactored the modules. This had to be done after one first deliverable was given to out client.

10. 2.4 Indication of how the design fulfills the requirements
From the design picture above, it is clear that the software is meant to accept employee data, i.e., the
identification number, name, union membership status and pension plan. It should stores these data
in a XML file. The software computes the employee payroll depending on the rate and deductions
that has been specified for the employee. New employees can always be added to the list of existing
employees. There is no limit to the number of employees that the list holds. An employee's data can
be modified as well as deleted from the list.
Each employee has a link to a pay data in the payroll records module. From the design diagram, we
can see that a new payroll data can be added to the employee's list of existing pay data. The payroll
calculates the employee's pay depending on the hours worked, the employee's rates and deductions
that include pension dues, union membership dues and taxes. Each pay data is stored according to the
month and year is was calculated.

11. CHAPTER 3
IMPLEMETATION
Some of the difficulty we faced was in trying to make the desired functions work. At first the coding
seemed a little complex, so we went back to the client for clarification and we were able to get a
more detailed description of the functions. After studying the IDE we wanted to use, the coding
became less complex and we were able to figure out how to go about it.
3.1 Technical issues encountered
Some of the technical issues and questions we encountered were with the following:
How the program saves data
How errors are detected and the error messages that should appear
What happens when we try overwriting data that already exists on the list
Is the software user friendly?
Is the Graphic User Interface elegant ?
The platform the software should run on
We were able to answer and resolve these issues after meetings and discussions with the entire
group.
3.2 Software development practices adopted
We used Extreme Programming to build the software.
We adopted the whole team approach in which the client was involved through out the software
development.
We used simple designs which were as simple as the current functionality allowed by the system.
We first began with very simple design which is incrementally improved.
Continuous integration was also used where each code was compiled run and tested before
adding to the system after which the system must meet all the criteria
The most important practice adopted was pair programming. We paired up with members of the
team and each team met at various times to code. After each pair coded, they made sure they
tested and compiled it, then added it to the main system which they sent to the other group
members.
We also made sure that we coded according to coding standards, the development codes were
consistent and had the same style through out.
3.3 Screenshots of the final system
Below are some screenshots of the final program.
11
12. The main screen shows all the tasks that can be selected and performed by the user.
The Employee data displays the names and certain details about the employee.
12
13. This is the Payroll records which show all the information about the employee a selected employee.
The Ledger screen shows a summary of all payrolls, and can be used to sort and filter the data to get
a better view of data.
13
14. The payslip is printable and shows the current month’s payment details as well as the year-to-date
total.
There are various other web pages that are generated from the XML data directly.

15. CHAPTER 4
RESULTS AND EVALUATION
4.1 Adequacy and Coverage
The payroll software can perform the following functions
Store employee information
Calculate gross and net pay, and determine tax deductions to be made
Print payslips for each month, showing year-to-date totals
Create and maintain a ledger containing all necessary records of employee payments
Provide the user with adequate help by the user manual with the software
4.2 Efficiency and Effectiveness
The payroll software calculates the total earnings of the employee and automatically updates
the employee’s earning to date.
The employers can set different rates for employees.
The software does its calculations in a very clear and concise manner. All calculations are
guaranteed accuracy.
4.3 Productiveness
The payroll software gives the employee the ability to keep track of their earnings by printing
their payslip for each month.
It gives the employers the ability to keep records of how much they pay out as salaries by
creating a ledger that can be used to filter out results by employee, month, and year.
4.4 Elegance and User-friendliness
The different tasks and functions are outlined in a very simple and clear manner for the users.
The help file can be used by the users to know how to use the payroll software.
The interface is very simple and not complicated to allow for easy usage.
4.5 Quality assurance
The software was fully tested to ensure it is relatively error free and that it computes results
correctly, including deductions such as taxes.
The software provides a better, time saving and efficient way of keeping track of employees
earnings by speeding up calculations, and reducing paperwork by keeping efficient electronic
records.
4.6 Critical Evaluation
The software overwrites employees information when re-entered. However, employee data is
discarded when the employee is deleted from the software.
15
16. The software also stores every information provided by the user, but does not store results of
calculations. Instead, calculations are done “on the fly” when the user needs to see them on
the ledger, the payroll records, or the payslip.
Deductions such as federal tax, state tax and union tax are made according to the set rate
provided by the employer, but additional benefits and bonuses are not included in calculations
or storage of records.
The payslip not only provides the employee with their earning, it also reflects their year-to-
date recorded earning. However, there are no reports that explicitly summarize grand totals
grouped by employees, months, or years. The ledger can be used to filter out these records.

CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER WORK
5.1 Summary
The main aim of this project was to put what we learnt in our Software engineering class into
practice. The payroll system designated to our team allowed us to fully exercise the techniques of
XP. The final deliverable was a simple payroll calculator and we were able to learn a new
programming language, VB. In addition, we were able to apply the knowledge of OOP learnt in our
Java classes to another language thereby giving us a better understanding of OOP.
5.2 Overview and Interpretation of Results Attained
We were able to attain our set objectives, and this helped us gain confidence in writing our own code
and our own applications.
In addition, the use of serialization was an experimentation to cut down the time taken in designing
the front-ends and back-ends of applications separately. With our OOP approach and serialization,
we only concentrated on designing the objects/ classes, and then just serialized them on disk. So we
did not spend any time on designing how to store data.
We also worked as a team, and gained some experience on how professional programmers work in
the industry.
5.3 Recommendations on Future Improvement
There is always room for imporvement, and the software we created can also be imporved. This is
especially because we had to create it within a limited time. With more time, the software can be
improved to include security and different types of users. This would be the first step in making the
software network-enabled, and eventually web-enabled. This was our original after-thought to
programming the software, and we had chosen XML. In addition, the software can also be improved
in terms of the calculations it can do, and more flexiblility in the rates used in calculations per
employee.
