1. How do the Process Model, WBS, SPMP, Goal Statement,
Example
How do the Process Model, WBS, SPMP, Goal Statement,
etc. etc. etc.
all fit together?

2. The Problem
We manufacture widgets. Sometimes our stock of raw materials runs too low, and production must slow down / stop.
Hence, we need software that will automatically forecast raw materials needs for purchasing based on analysis of various data sets (production equipment, sales orders, etc.)

3. Possible Solutions Plan A: Plan B: buy it off-the-shelf
build it ourselves

4. Approach Build it a piece at a time start with easy decision
feasibility of getting the needed data, determine algorithms, etc.
second version will address overall look and feel
third version will implement most important decision
create something that concretely shows project's value
repeat until done

5. Step One - getting organized
create a goal statement
identify the key players
keepers of data
champions of the project
final decision makers
etc

6. Statement of Work Contents:
Step Two - Write the SOW
Statement of Work Contents:
Goal
Scope
Deliverables
Criteria for Success
etc

7. Step Three - Process Model Selection
Spiral Life Cycle
Gather Requirements
Design
Code
Test
Repeat

8. Step Four - Plan Activities
How do we decide what all we need to do?
Based on Past WBSs
Based on Brainstorming about Tasks
Based on IEEE 1074 ?

9. Step Four - Using 1074 to select activities
6. Plan Project Management
7. Analyze Risks
9. Manage the Project
10. Retain Records
11. Implement Problem Reporting
15. Identify Quality Improvement Needs
16. Identify ideas and needs
17. Formulate Potential Approaches
25. Define Interface Requirements
28. Define Database
29. Design Interfaces
30. Develop Algorithms
32. Create Test Data
33. Create Source Code
37. Perform Integration
50. Execute V&V Tasks
54. Execute the Tests

10. Step Five - Build the Work Breakdown
Major Activities in the WBS:
1. Project Functions
2. Conduct Feasibility Study
3. Design Interface Architecture
4. Most Important Problem
5. Next Problem
6. Re-Evaluation of Project
7. Development Continuation
8. Deployment

11. Step Five - Build WBS 1. Project Functions 1.1 Retain Records (10)
1.2 Plan Configuration Management (55)
1.3 Perform Configuration Control (57)
1.4 Collect and Analyze Metric Data (51)
1.5 Produce Internal Documentation (61)

12. Step Five - Build WBS 2. Feasibility 2.1 Analysis
Identify Major Needs (16)
Formulate Potential Approaches(17)
Decide what is easiest to do.
2.2 Design
2.2.1 Design Database (28)
2.2.2 Design Interfaces (29)
2.2.3 Develop Algorithm (30)
2.3 Code
2.3.1 Create Test Data (32)
2.3.2 Create Source Code (33)
2.4 Test
2.4.1 Execute Tests (54)
2.4.2 Execute V&V (50)
Is this Worthwhile?
Determine key problem for next phase
Decide if to go forward

13. Step Six - Estimate Size and Duration
Step Seven - Estimate Cost
Step Eight - Use WBS and size estimates to create project plan
Step Nine - Begin Activities 1 and 2
