222 Learning Objectives  clearly defining the project objective  developing a work breakdown structure  developing a network diagram  utilizing a project management methodology called the systems development life cycle for information systems development projects

333 Real-World Discussion Planning is an essential part of project management. In essence, the plan is a roadmap.

4 Real-World Discussion (Cont.) Andrew Smith compiled “thirty nuggets of wisdom”, including: Stop and think before you actually start a project. Focus on the work. Find out how similar problems were handled before. Communicate your ideas. Don’t set the plan until the required data are available.

5 Project Objective The first step is to define the project objective. The objective must be clear, attainable, specific, and measurable. The objective is usually defined in terms of scope, schedule and cost.

6 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) The second step is to determine what activities need to be performed. A list of all the activities must be developed. The WBS is a hierarchical tree of end items to be accomplished. A work item is one small piece of the project. A work package is the lowest-level item.

7 Responsibility Matrix Displays in tabular format the individuals responsible for the work items. “X” can be used to indicate who is responsible. “P” indicates who has primary responsibility. “S” indicates who has secondary responsibility.

8 Activities, Defined An activity is a piece of work that consumes time.

9 Developing the Network Plan After all activities have been defined, they are graphically portrayed in a network diagram. Two network planning techniques were developed in the 1950’s: –program evaluation and review technique (PERT) –critical path method (CPM)

10 Gantt Charts Gantt charts, or bar charts, are popular due to their simplicity. Activities are listed down the left-hand side. A time scale is shown along the bottom.

11 Gantt Charts (Cont.) Does not display the interrelationships of activities. If one activity is delayed, it is not obvious how that will affect other activities. Most project management software shows these relationships with arrows.

12 Network Principals Different formats can be used to draw the diagram: –activity in the box (AIB) a.k.a. activity on the node (AON) –activity on the arrow (AOA)

13 Activity in the Box (AIB) Each activity is represented by a box. The activity description is written in the box. Each box is assigned a unique activity number. Activities have a precedential relationship. Some activities may be done concurrently.

14 Activity on the Arrow (AOA) Each activity is represented by an arrow. The activity description is written above the arrow. The tail of the arrow designates the start of the activity. The head of the arrow designates the completion of the activity.

15 Activity on the Arrow (AOA) (Cont.) Activities are linked by circles called events. An event represents the finish of activities entering it and the start of activities leaving it. Each event is assigned a unique activity number.

16 Dummy Activities Used in the AOA format. Consumes zero time. Represented by a dashed arrow. Needed for: –Helping in the unique identification of activities. –Showing certain precendential relationships.

17 Loops Not allowed because it portrays a path of activities that perpetually repeats itself.

18 Laddering Used for projects that have a set of activities that are repeated several times.

19 Preparing the Network Diagram Ask the following questions regarding each activity: –Which activities must be finished immediately before this activity can be started? –Which activities can be done concurrently with this activity? –Which activities cannot be started until this activity is finished?

20 Preparing the Network Diagram (Cont.) Should flow from left to right. Not drawn to a time scale. Can vary in how detailed the diagram should be. AIB vs. AOA is a matter of personal preference. AIB is the most common in project management software packages.

21 Information System, Defined An information system (IS) is a computer- based system that accepts data as input, processes the data, and produces useful information for users.

22 Planning for Information Systems Development The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is used to help plan, execute and control IS development projects. Many people view the SDLC as a classic problem-solving approach.

23 Steps of the SDLC Problem definition System analysis System design System development System testing System implementation
