Class response in Lecture 4 Why a project plan? Class response in Lecture 4 Team knows what's going on Budget your time Detect/correct a problem Supervisor knows what you’re doing Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Instructor response in Lecture 4 Why a project plan? Instructor response in Lecture 4 Determine what has to be done, by when, and by who (schedule) State assumptions, identify dependencies Set the budget Evaluate risks, develop contingency plans Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Typical development sequence? Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Project plan Front: title page, revision history, TOC, LOF Body Summary Introduction Background Product overview Development process Conclusions Back: appendices Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Product overview Purpose Headings Describe what your project does, do not introduce anything new Define your deliverables Headings General description: cut and paste from FS Deliverables Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Deliverables Deliverable: measurable result List them in a table Give each a number (1, 2, 3, …) Provide a title, due date In-class and project-specific Describe each in the text Be very specific Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Development process Purpose Chapter contains the bulk of the document Describe how you are going to complete the project Clarify the scope of the development Chapter contains the bulk of the document Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Dev process headings General approach Assumptions: list and describe Describe the technical and logical sequence Use a figure Assumptions: list and describe Milestones In-class and project specific At least one project specific-per-month Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Dev process headings, continued. Risks/Contingencies Use a table Provide severity: H, M, L Describe risk and it’s contingency Schedule Gantt chart format Include an overview and critical path Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
Dev process headings, continued. Resources Personnel: include responsibilities Budget Equipment Facilities Contingencies: one for each risk Lillevik 480f06-l11 University of Portland School of Engineering
