Project Plan Assignment
In this assignment you will create a project plan for a fictional project described below. Often organizations create a High-Level Scope for projects. These are typically 1 page documents describing the software. They are used for planning purposes and deciding on what software should be created next without writing a full requirements document.
Once a High-level Scope is approved a Project Plan is created. Often Project Plans change throughout the course of the project, but it is important to have a Project Plan at the beginning of a project.
In this assignment you may use any software development method taught in this class such as Feature-Driven Development, Test-Driven Development, waterfall, scrum, RAD\agile, XP/DevOps, Unified Process, Project management/EVO, Lean or RAD You are also allowed to make any assumptions about your technical team, budget, etc.
Accompanying this assignment is a Project Plan Template. The template is organized for the Waterfall model but can be easily changed for other development methods. For example, if you are doing an Agile method, sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, etc. could be for different Sprints of your project.
Deliverable
For the project you should only submit a Word or PDF document of your Project Plan.
Grading
The software development method that you select will not have an impact on your grade. There is no right or wrong method for this project.
Grading Rubric
Item Description Percentage
Follows the method Your project plan should clearly state what method you are using. All areas of the Project Plan should have activities that correctly implement the selected method. 30%
Clearly Written The project plan should be clearly written, free of grammar and spelling mistakes. 20%
Consistent Your project plan should be consistent. If in one section you state that you are using the Waterfall method and in other you write about Sprints, these two sections are not consistent with each other. 30%
Completeness All areas of the method should be included. 20%
High-level Scope
Software Title: Cancerous Tumor Tracking System
Description
A cancer research team studies different types of cancerous tumors and all relevant information that is known about the tumor. Currently they have been doing this with a simple shared drive on the network. Now, they would like to build a software system that will track all of the information and provide search capabilities.
The system needs to track the many different types of tumors. Each tumor has a medical name, like Pleomorphic Adenoma. There is various information stored about each tumor like: type (cancerous or non-cancerous), typical location of the tumor, photos, etc. Once this data is entered it probably won't change much unless there is a new type of tumor.
Then researchers can find and enter research about the tumor. This could be documents like PDFs or links to websites.
Finally, we would like a website for the public to use to search through the database. Public users can read the data, but not enter, update, or delete anything.
