CIS 518 Week 3 Assignment 1 Activity Graph For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Assignment 1: Activity Graph Due Week 3 and worth 120 points This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a written project plan and a PowerPoint presentation. You must submit the two (2) sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Section 1: Written Project Plan Imagine you are a software engineer working on a fixed budget and you are tasked to develop a Web-based student registration system. This Web-based system allows students to register for classes, authenticate their credentials, and select classes for which they are eligible to register. It also registers the students, prints a confirmation receipt, and prepares a registration invoice. You have been asked to provide senior management with a detailed summary, activity graph, and project plan of how you plan to execute the project. Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you: Describe the development of the student registration project as a work breakdown structure of actions and transitions among these actions. Create an activity graph from the breakdown structure using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, Dia. Be sure to identify the time estimates and critical path in your submission. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
- 2. Write a project plan for this project which includes, but is not limited to, a risk analysis, task scheduling, and personnel staffing for the project. Provide a rationale for the decisions you made in your project plan to senior management. Section 1 of this assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the project plan. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the project plan. Section 2: PowerPoint Presentation The senior management team has also requested that you present the plan in a concise presentation to the Board of Directors during the organization’s next operations meeting. Create a five to ten (5-10) slide PowerPoint presentation for the presentation to the Board of Directors in which you: Present the proposed plan documented in the written project plan. Include the key elements of the project plan (i.e., work breakdown structure, activity graph, risk management, project schedule, and project staffing). Include a justification of the decisions made in the proposed plan to senior management. Create bulleted speaking notes for the presentation to the Board of Directors in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication. Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.
- 3. The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is: Develop project plans and schedules that satisfy user requirements. Use technology and information resources to research issues in software engineering. Write clearly and concisely about advanced software engineering topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions. **************************** CIS 518 Week 4 Assignment 2 Requirements For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Assignment 2: Requirements Due Week 4 and worth 60 points In a previous assignment you were tasked to develop a Web-based student registration system. This Web-based system allows students to register for classes, authenticate their credentials, and select classes for which they are eligible to register. It also registers the students, prints a confirmation receipt, and prepares a registration invoice. You created a project plan proposal to senior management and they liked it, giving you the green light to start with the project. Now, it is time to define what the student registration system should do. Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you: Select a requirement specification technique that you would use to state the requirements of this software system and explain the reasons for the selection.
- 4. Specify the requirements for registering a student for a class based on the selected technique. You can make any assumptions that you need to complete the specification as long as you state them clearly in the response. Create the necessary diagrams through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia that illustrates and complements the specification. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Write a validation and verification plan to validate and verify the requirement. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted. The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is: Describe the different types of requirements that include abstraction and modeling techniques. Use technology and information resources to research issues in software engineering. Write clearly and concisely about advanced software engineering topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions. **************************** CIS 518 Week 9 Assignment 4 Software Developer Development and Improvement
- 5. For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Assignment 4: Software Developer Development and Improvement Due Week 9 and worth 60 points This assignment consists of two (2) sections: an improvement plan and a PowerPoint presentation. You must submit the two (2) sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Section 1: Improvement Plan Suppose you are working as a senior software development manager in a software house. The company develops custom software for clients. In one of the development projects, a postmortem analysis reveals that a particular developer out of a team of five (5) was responsible for the major failure of the developed software product. This has caused the project to run 20% behind schedule and exceed its monetary budget by 30%. Initial estimates point to an additional twelve (12) weeks from the original 36-week effort to correct the failures. You have been asked by your supervisor to create an improvement plan to address these issues using the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM). The P-CMM model is available at the following URL:http://www.dtic.mil/cgi- bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA512354. Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you: Evaluate the key practices and improvement activities from the people capability maturity model and recommend the practices you would use to address the software failure. Describe an appropriate strategy for implementing the recommended improvement activities that you have identified.
