Congratulations. You have just been hired as the new CEO for
Handback Industries. You were excited until you started and
within first the few days, the director of HR came into your
office and indicated that the employees were threatening to
strike and go to the media if things were not fixed immediately.
Since you were successful in your Statistics course taken during

4. the Summer of 2013, you decide that you will assist the HR
Director with her analysis.
Problem 1 - The employees have indicated that 95% of
employees in one of the departments are receiving higher
salaries than any other department because their supervisor
parties with them each weekend. Some employees only have an
hourly rate which you have to calculate their yearly salary
before completing the calculations. Please calculate the 95%
standard deviation for each department and indicate for me if
any department is receiving on average $2k or more on the high
end.

Project Summary
This project is primarily designed to promote the significance of
new software development to the companies. The purchasing
business should possess’ long-term management preparation
used for choosing, approving and upgrading software programs
such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and other software
products which are reusable. If a mixture of these constituents
is increased in the new systems, the demand continues to grow.
The new software management plan and COTS usually help to
facilitate the purchasing of new programs management of COTS
and some of the reusable software. The project addresses how
new COTS and reusable software will provide the strategy that
outline data management about monitoring interdependency of
software, tracking, choosing specific features and documenting
those choices. The reusable software and COTS presented in
this project functions as a guide for how to accomplish new
software components and COTS in a complex system (Anderso,
Smith and Ward, 2007). The purpose of this project is help in
identifying the techniques and collaborative processes in
handling the new software components, and to address the risks
and other issues. Some of the actions that must be taken to

7. address the risk and issues include identification of the
components that can be shared across the software system and
encourage their use (Anderso, Smith and Ward, 2007).
Project Scope
This project seeks to justify the new development on the
application of COTS solution. It also provides introductory
information about COTS and new software programs and
describes its relationship to other program plans (Anderso,
Smith and Ward, 2007). The anticipated deliveries include: to
eliminate the baseless production of similar but different
software components which are reusable across the organization
and support the quantity discounts if possible. Secondly is to
describe strategies for the program and approaches to managing
and developing software components and COTS, which provide
an origin for supporting roles and possesses (Anderso, Smith
and Ward, 2007). Thirdly is to provide a summary of roles of
the program that are affected by development plan and includes
an overview of the operation that supports the software plan
strategies. Additionally, to ensure software development plan is
implemented by describing the programs processes. Finally, to
describe the activities that exceeds the development of the
systems and employs reusable software components. However,
the project is not going to cover how the system will be
maintained and the procedure of installation, therefore it is
upon the company to recruit experts.
Project Assumptions
The initial conditions of the project include the schedule for
working hours occurs between9:00am-4:00 pm. At least six
staffs will be working at 20% dedicated time. Failover setups
are based on the timeframe of 5:30 am to 6:30 pm. The
availability of staff vendor and partner needed. The final
conditions are the staff who will be dedicated will remain in
their current roles. The choice of the research will not be
modified. The staffs who are dedicated will cross-train one
another. New hardware is functional. The testing of the database
will utilize mercury load runner and will require a professional

8. team. Finally, there is availability of facilities staffs and ESD
Networking

�I’m having a hard time determining what this project is
supposed to so, exactly. In plain English, what are the
deliverables? What are the users expecting to receive?
�Is this software replacing existing software? If so, are their
boundaries with other systems that need to be preserved or
altered?
Test101
Now that you have received formal authority to pursue the
project through the Project Charter, you will need to elaborate
the scope of the project and produce a Scope Statement that will
define the scope and boundaries of the project. The PMBOK v5
defines “define scope” as “the process of developing a detailed
description of the project and product.”
The difference between the Charter and the Scope Statement can

10. be confusing, since they seem to say many of the same things.
However, the Scope Statement is an in-depth elaboration of the
material first covered in the Charter. From the book (Chapt 5, p.
195):
"Although contents vary, project scope statements should
include at least a product scope description, product user
acceptance criteria, and detailed information on all project
deliverables. It is also helpful to document other scope-related
information, such as the project boundaries, constraints, and
assumptions. The project scope statement should also reference
supporting documents, such as product specifications that will
affect what products are created or purchased, or corporate
policies, which might affect how products or services are
produced. "
What you are entering now is the investigative phase of the
project, where you work with the stakeholders and end users to
make sure that all parties fully understand what it is that the
project is tasked with producing. This in-depth elaboration is
necessary, because it will form the basis for your Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is how you drill down and
estimate the work involved with the project. Put yourself in the
shoes of the end users and think about what their expectations
are for the project's deliverables. That is what you are verifying
with the scope statement.
Please use the attached template for this assignment. For the
cost estimate, you can use real numbers if you have them, or
just make up numbers if you don't. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
