For your second assignment you have the opportunity to develop a project planning document and estimate the effort required to produce the proposed system from its requirements. You are to work in group of 3 or 4. Each team member is to upload a team member participation memo to Canvas. The participation score will be computed by averaging the individual grades (0 = nothing, 1 = poor to 5 = great) assigned by all team members (including yourself).
Your group is to select one of the requirement documents produced by one of your team and create a project plan for its implementation. Your plan should take into account the effort involved to develop the user interface for the system, even if it was not included in the original requirements. It would be desirable if this tool were web-based.
Your final document will need to conform to Pressman's planning document template which may be found at: http://www.rspa.com/docs/Projectplan.html. Your document will need to contain the following sections: introduction (project scope, major software functions, inputs, outputs); project estimates (time and cost of producing the system using two techniques – function/comoco and one other with reconciliation); risk management (risk table and risk information sheets for significant risks); project schedule (including deliverables, milestones, work breakdown structure, activity graph); project team organization and staff allocation plan; tracking and control mechanisms (some type of outline for quality assurance).
You are not required to do any programming of this system before you complete your project plan. Your written project plan is due in 3 weeks and your team will be required to make a 10 minutes presentation in class on the due date. This is a very difficult assignment. Do not put off starting it till the last minute.
