Part One:
MOV - Measurable Organisational Value
• Identify the desired area of impact - Rank the following areas in terms of importance: Strategy / Customer / Financial / Operational / Social
• With reference to your project, identify one or two of the following types of value:
o Better - is improving quality important to your client?
o Faster - does your client want to increase efficiency?
o Cheaper - is cutting costs important?
o Do more - does your client want to continue its growth?
• Develop an appropriate metric - this sets the target and expectation of all the stakeholders. It is important to determine a quantitative target that needs to be expressed as a metric in terms of an increase or decrease of money. (4 Bullet Points)
• Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to achieve thistarget metric?
• SUMMARISE THE MOV IN A CLEAR CONCISE STATEMENT OR TABLE
(Note: the MOV should inform everyone what the project will achieve, not how it will be achieved. It should also focus on the organisation, not on the technology that will be used to build or support the information system).
Part Two:
Define Scope and produce a Scope Management Plan
(Please follow the format given below)
Define the scope of the project and detail how the scope will be managed by providing the following points:
Requirements: List of functions and features in your application
In scope-out scope items: In scope items are list of requirements that are going to be implemented as part of this system. Out scope items are list of functions and features that are not going to be implemented in this project but can be done later for this application.
Deliverables: List of outputs including project as well as product related deliverables
Acceptance Criteria: Identify and list the criteria that would ensure that the outcome of your project would be accepted by the client. What should the project achieve upon completion. It would tie back to MOV and the metrics identified in Part one.
Provide a list of Resources
Identify and detail the resources for the project using MS Project where appropriate, including:
• People (and their roles), plus any extra personnel that is required for the project.
• Technology - any hardware, network and software needs to support the team and your client.
• Facilities - where will most of the teamwork be situated?
• Other - for example, travel, training etc.
Part Three:
Using MS Project, develop a schedule using a high level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) similar to the hierarchy given in the example below (Project-phase-deliverable-activity and milestone) and the Gantt Chart. It should include: (approx 40 steps excluding the level 1 tasks).
o Milestones for each phase
o List of all deliverables for each phase
o Activities / Tasks for each deliverable- Define a set of activities / tasks that must be completed to produce each deliverable.
o Resource Table (to be added in Ms Project from resource list in Part two)
o Assign people and resources to each individual activities.
oAdd dependencies.
o Estimates duration for Each Activity / Task- Develop a time estimate for each task or activity to be completed.
You may use the format below.
Part Four:
Project Risk Analysis and Plan
• Document any assumptions you have made about the project
• Using the Risk Identification Framework as a basis, identify five risks to the project - onefor each of the five phases of the methodology.
• Analyse these risks, assign a risk to an appropriate member, and describe a strategy for the management of each specific risk under Potential response heading of the below.
Part Five:
Quality Management Plan. It should include:
• A short statement that reflects your team's philosophy or objective for ensuring that you deliver a quality system to your client.
• Develop and describe the following that your project team could implement to ensurequality;
• A set of verification activities
• A set of validation activities
Part Six: Closure and Evaluation-Researching for the closure checklist and project evaluation
a. To prepare for this task, you will be required to provide an annotated bibliography.
Write an Annotated Bibliography for three (3) relevant texts or readings around projectevaluation. The Annotated Bibliography is a critical examination of the most relevant, recentand scholarly research on the topic area that is not just a summary of the articles you have read.
You will submit this as an appendix to your project evaluation documentation.
Ensure that the AB submitted by you is your own work and has not been submitted elsewhereand comply with the University's requirements for academic integrity.
Use the following resource to guide you around the research tools
b. Develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been closedproperly.
c. Develop a project evaluation -outline and discuss how your project's MOV will be evaluated.
