  4. Projects are unique by nature, and organizations each have their own specific needs when it comes to managing systems projects. In addition, there is never a superior SDLC methodology, but rather SDLCs that will fit certain projects better than others. Compare and contrast Agile and waterfall SDLCs. Based on your personal and work experiences, why might an organization opt to choose one SDLC over another? Can an organization make use of both types of SDLCs, and why? Reference a project you have personally worked on (at home or at work) and integrate that experience into your response. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 1 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  5. Projects that adhere to an Agile SDLC allow for iterative development, leading to quicker results for customers. However, many times the requirements you have at the start of an Agile sprint differ from the results you see at the end of the sprint. How can stakeholders be flexible in terms of scope and requirements when running an Agile project? What type of expectations would you set with your customer (internal or external) when running a project based on the Agile SDLC, and why?

  6. Post your answers to the discussion forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 1 Individual SDLC Comparison For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  7. You’ve been hired to implement the CRM system for WeLoveVideo, Inc. Part of your job is to propose and recommend a project approach based on several models. A meeting is scheduled for next week with the WeLoveVideo, Inc. CIO to discuss your recommendations on the project approach. Prepare for this meeting by developing a 6- to 8–slide multimedia-rich presentation that explains the waterfall and Agile SDLCs, and how your team will guide WeLoveVideo, Inc. Include the following in your presentation: An explanation of waterfall and Agile SDLCs, including: The typical phases that comprise an entire systems project The differences in documentation produced, with an explanation as to why it would or would not be used An explanation of stakeholder expectations that should be set based on the chosen SDLC The pros and cons associated with each waterfall and Agile SDLC A graphic summary or chart comparing waterfall and Agile for the WeLoveVideo, Inc. CRM project, including features, team, delivery, and feedback Attributes within WeLoveVideo, Inc. that would dictate your recommendation on the type of SDLC you would lean toward Two references formatted in APA style Write an executive summary to accompany your presentation that includes your SDLC recommendation and references to support your recommendation. This summary for the executive team is typically 1- to 2-pages in length.

  9. Well-defined business requirements are essential building blocks to any system project. If requirements are not written well, the input to design and development phases will be poor. However, well-written requirements will lead to a much better project outcome in relation to stronger designs and system solutions. What are 2 key attributes to well-written requirements? How do these attributes impact the quality of requirements? How might you assess system requirements based off these attributes? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 2 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  10. Agile systems development provides organizations with an iterative model, allowing for quicker, more incremental results. However, an Agile SDLC is also more flexible in terms of the comprehensive project results, meaning stakeholders may have a set of requirements going in that are reshaped throughout the life of the project. When might an organization opt for an Agile SDLC, and why? How would you describe the flexible nature of an Agile SDLC, to set stakeholders expectations upfront? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  11. CMGT 555 Week 2 Individual Project Plans For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com After consideration of your proposal from Week 1, the WeLoveVideo, Inc. CIO is having a hard time envisioning how the project would be executed based on your recommendations. She has asked your company to develop a project plan in both waterfall and Agile so she can better understand the implications to her team.

  12. Using Microsoft® Excel®, Project, or another project management tool of your choice―and approved by your instructor, develop two milestone-level project plans: one using the waterfall and one using Agile SDLC. The milestones should demonstrate a clear understanding of the inputs and outputs for each phase of a project, based upon the SDLC applied. At minimum, there should be a clear milestone at the end of each project phase, and potentially milestones within phases where applicable. Ensure that each project plan incorporates comprehensive SDLC phases based on each SDLC type. Submit your assignment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 3 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  13. When developing system requirements, it is very important that they be written in a way that will allow for specific design and development steps. Poorly written requirements may lead to ambiguity, resulting in missing a stakeholder’s expectations. Develop one complete system requirement for one of the following activities: Option A: Making a withdrawal at an ATM. Option B: Using your charge card for a meal at a restaurant.

  14. Option C: Buying a stock using an online brokerage account. Option D: Searching for books (on a specific topic) using an online bookstore. In your response, consider attributes that comprise a solid system requirement, as well as the result of requirements that do not meet quality attributes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 3 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  15. Depending on the type of project and the SDLC applied, system requirements may be developed differently. For example, many current projects use the Agile SDLC, and build requirements based on user-story format. A user story is essentially a use case that describes how a specific user would interact with a system. An example of a user story tied to a customer using an ATM might be, “As a customer of the bank, I need to be able to access my account from an ATM to understand balances across all of my accounts.” What are the attributes that comprise a quality user story, and why are these attributes necessary? Consider the result of poorly written user stories. Provide an example of what you would consider to be a quality

  16. user story. This example can be from experience, from a company you know of, or one that you create. Post your answers to the discussion forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 3 Individual System Requirements For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  17. As you learned in Week 2, requirements are a fundamental component to any project. Depending on the SDLC applied, requirements can be written in different forms. For example, some requirements will be very technically focused (technical requirements) and are written in a manner that dictates what a stakeholder expects the system to accomplish. Another approach taken, often with Agile-run projects, is to create a user story. A user story focuses on different types of system users and outlines more of a workflow that organizations expect. Review the Wk 2 Discussion 1 about what makes well-written requirements.

  18. The WeLoveVideo, Inc. project team met with the business owners last week in a structured requirements-gathering meeting. In this meeting, they discussed that the requirements should focus on certain users, such as customer support representatives and inside-sales representatives, as well as be geared towards the system supporting the job function. Create 15 to 20 system requirements based on the scope of the project discussed in the requirements meeting. Ensure the requirements meet quality standards and are outlined in priority order. Provide a justification behind the prioritization within the document. You may use any Microsoft® program, such as Excel® or Word, to create the list of requirements. Submit your assignment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 4 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  19. Implementing a new system, or modifying an existing one, can create organizational change. This change can impact how employees work, how information technology teams support the business, and even how customers interact with the organization. Ensuring users adopt new systems or changes to existing systems is critical, as implementing a system no one will use becomes a wasted investment. User adoption should be considered by the business stakeholders no later than during the design phase. Identify 2 to 4 steps or activities a project team can take that will influence user adoption. Explain how these steps or activities will influence user adoption.

  21. Waterfall projects may dictate a different approach and rigor surrounding design when compared to Agile. Consider the phases associated with both waterfall and Agile. How you would approach design for a new project, based off each of these SDLC approaches? Consider User Experience Design and Bottom Up Design approaches. Provide an example of a project (either from your experience or one you read about) and explain what documents you would produce, why, and how that would affect future phases of the project. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 4 Individual CRM Design Proposal For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  22. The stakeholders at WeLoveVideo, Inc. are interested in understanding what the CRM will look like prior to development. There are a variety of ways the project team can approach design, some being more effective in terms of giving the stakeholders a view into what the final product will look like. Some of the approaches include a storyboard and presentation. The storyboard provides a visual display, while the presentation provides the necessary information. Develop a proposal presentation of how you will approach the design for the WeLoveVideo, Inc. CRM project.

  23. Create an 8- to 10-slide multimedia-rich presentation and include the following: Identify the recommended design approach (User Experience Design, Bottom Up Design, or one of your choosing). Explain why this approach was chosen over others. Highlight the steps and processes that will be adhered to, along with the output expected from the approach. Include a storyboard that represents general screen layout and user flow within the system. Highlight the pros and cons of the chosen approach against other options. Appropriate charts, images, graphics, video, or audio where appropriate. Cite at least 2 references using APA format. Submit your assignment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 5 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  24. Something that is easy to overlook, but critical to the success of a systems project, is the quality of the development work. Testing needs to occur and is generally based on the approved requirements and design. How would you best ensure quality when developing a new system? Explain the inputs and outputs to testing. Use any relevant examples you have from your experiences within your own organizations, or organizations that you are familiar with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  25. CMGT 555 Week 5 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com When developing new systems, teams tend to focus on understanding the requirements of the system at the start of the project. Until requirements are known, it’s hard to understand design and development components. Beyond this, testing is an essential part of any systems project, no matter what SDLC is applied.

  26. When do you think a project team should plan for testing? Provide a justification behind your position. Who do you think is the best resource(s) to conduct testing activities, and why? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 5 Individual Change Management Plan For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  27. Building a new software application is just the start, as organizations invest in software to help solve business problems. For systems to be effective and have a positive influence on organizational goals, they need to address user experience and focus on how best to gain new system adoption. The ideas for a new strategy are compiled in a document titled a change management plan. This plan contains information about the new user experience, how the new system will be supported, and the communication plans to inform the system users, which includes FAQs and instructions on how to use the system." Develop a change management plan for WeLoveVideo, Inc. Within the change management plan, incorporate the following:

  28. Ways in which the system was designed to support a positive user experience How the system changes will be communicated to the users Ways in which you will shape the communications to ensure a positive outlook Collateral (Ex. FAQs and user guides) that will be developed in support of the new system Explain what type of support will be available to the users after implementations. Refer to Ch. 13 of Modern Systems Analysis and Design in the Week 5 - Required Learning Materials folder for information on creating change management plans. Submit your assignment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 6 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  29. Technology advances rapidly in the current market and can become dated and obsolete quickly. Organizations must keep pace with the evolution of technology to compete and sustain a market advantage. What are some emerging technology trends that have influenced your personal choice of an SDLC, either in your experience or in something you’ve read? Explain the trend and the influence and effect it had on you. Were there any issues? Would you recommend the same SDLC if you had to do it again? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  30. CMGT 555 Week 6 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Throughout this course, you have evaluated two core SDLCs that are most commonly applied within current organizations to manage systems development projects. Consider the past 6 weeks, and list your predictions on how current trends will influence software development

  31. in the next 10 years. Cite readings, videos, or assignments from the past 6 weeks that support your prediction. Post your answers to the discussion forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMGT 555 Week 6 Individual Customer Success Story For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  32. Your implementation was successful, and it’s time to plan ahead for future projects. One important piece of project reflection and creating future proposals is to use customer success stories. These stories read as case studies and provide internal and external personnel a glimpse into the decisions made throughout the project. It provides the opportunity to highlight the goals, results, and impacts of the project. Customer success stories are also used to predict trends in future projects. Develop a 12- to 14-slide, multimedia-rich presentation featuring your work with WeLoveVideo, Inc. You will use this presentation in your next client meeting. Include the following: A description of the systems project

  33. Justification behind the SDLC recommended(waterfall or Agile) Intended business goals of the systems project Results of the project, to include scope,schedule, budget and user adoption Storyboard example Impact the systems project had on theorganization How the decisions made in this project willaffect the business in the next 10 years Detailed speaker notes Appropriate charts, images, graphics, video, or audio where appropriate At least 2 references cited in APA format In addition, write a brief, 1-page summary of the presentation to be published on the company website for potential clients to review.
