CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 5 CSE9020 CASE STUDY Opportunities from CSE9020 Case Study Exposure to Problem Solving Creative Thinking Opportunity to maximise opportunities Team Working Communications - Development and Practice Time Management

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 6 CSE9020 CASE STUDY The Project Plan The Project Plan Document must have these components: 1. An Introduction 2. The Objectives of the Project - and should contain the ‘users’ requirements (have you read the Wool Sales article ?) 3. Deliverables and delivery dates (there’s not much flex here) 4. A Gantt chart

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 7 CSE9020 CASE STUDY 5. All activities must be identified 6. And supported by who is doing what 7. ‘Costs’ are to be shown as individual effort (hours) and the Project must be reviewed and a short report included with the submission.

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 8 The Project Plan Project Objectives are to be identified Project Scope is to be identified Project Responsibilities are to be identified (these may alter later as the project progresses and emphases change) Project Risks are to be identified and a brief description of management of the risk included Task Effort Estimates - at his stage these can only be rough assumptions, which will be further refined as the project progresses.

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 9 Risks and Risk Management

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 10 CSE9020 CASE STUDY Risk Analysis is normally part of the development of a Project. You might give some thoughts to these items: Risk means probabilities, threats and opportunities Risk management means weighing up the pros and cons before making a decision Risk analysis generally indicates that there is some choice in behaviour or actions

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 11 Risks Australian Standard AS NZS states that ‘risks are the consequences of uncertainty’ There are 2 elements : –the likelihood of an event –the consequence of its occurrence

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 12 Risks Risk Management is the use of –policies –processes –procedures to the tasks of –identifying –analysing –assessing –treating –and monitoring risk

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 13 Risks Information Technology is invariably associated with ‘new’ technology Risk events can emerge from –the experience or inexperience) of the project team –the nature of the technology used (‘cutting edge’, or ‘established’, –the number of stakeholders and their experience/understanding and stability –the duration of the project –size of the project team –effects of other commitments of the project group

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 14 Risk Management Risk Management often is related to individual business processes - for example: Investments, Information Technology project management, worker safety, insurance Other business risks : - exposure of company, customer, employee confidential and private information to unauthorised access exposure of business processes to corruption and failure

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 15 Risk Management Role: Risk Management Architects Skills: Information Security, Law and regulations, Risk Managers Produce: Architecture Principles, Models Standards, Patterns Enterprise Business Activities Role: Independent Assessment and Validation Skills: Internal Audit, Risk Assessment, Management Reporting Produces: Assessment Repots, Management Assurance Opportunity

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 17 CSE9020 CASE STUDY Risks need to be managed for a successful outcome Risk making and taking is (in most cases) fundamental to an organisation which is developing, progressing, expanding, and entrepreneurial And now, the big question :- What do you see are the ‘risks’ in your project ? And, How are you going to manage them ?

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 18 Information Suggestions It is likely that each group, and each Supervisor, will have their own thoughts on what your project product will produce. You have an article on CRM which should give you a starting point for what you are going to develop and there is another on Team Construction. Just a word or caution : - don’t be too ambitious. The Unit is primarily designed to make you familiar with the processes, procedures and quality requirements of a project. (So, if you want to be an instant expert with vb.net, this is not the appropriate venue)

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 19 Information Suggestions Remember, you are designing a database, not the full database system - and certainly not an on line transaction system Your Supervisor will (probably) dissuade you from developing a Web-Accessible database Business Case

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 20 The Business Case

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 21 The Business Case Document It is due in Week 4 This is your report to the Client setting out the reasoning why (in this discipline) a computer based solution to the Client’s problem is both desirable and should be developed Or you could view it a being a ‘Business Opportunity’ to research many con-incident aspects which could lead to or be a result of, road accidents

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 22 The Business Case This is supplemented by the Requirements Definitions Document The purpose of this is to 1. State the purpose of the system functions (and keep this to the ‘workable’ level - e.g. create a database which will contain ……….) 2. Indicate what content (in general terms) will be the core of the system outputs

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 23 The Business Case 3. Convince the Client that you are both on the same wavelength As a means of achieving this, it’s a good technique to ‘talk’ in the client’s language - a Research Region is... a Highway is... a Registration Number is... a query, report, output is... Remember, your client may never have heard of the term ‘yottabyte’, or a relational table, or a join, or a multidimensional analysis, or even a database (and may not know about Microsoft or Linux or even RedHat)

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 24 Meetings Meetings can consume much time, particularly if they are not organised and controlled The next few slides give some pointers which will improve the productivity and benefits of meetings

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 25 Meetings Meetings should not ‘happen’ - they should be arranged There should be a number of specific items to be discussed These items should be detailed, referenced and supported by previous decisions, directions, agreements Items should be introduced by the Chair, or by named members attending the meeting

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 26 Meetings Those people expected to attend a meeting should be given prior notice of the items to be discussed Those people expected to attend should be given adequate and accurate details of the nature of the items to be discussed Those people should be given sufficient time to become familiar with, or to be able to generate comments on, the items to be discussed at the meeting

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 27 Meetings Those required to attend a meeting should be given a firm time, location and venue for the meeting - a map may be necessary if the attendees are unfamiliar with the location or venue e.g. Campus and Building/Level/Rooms at the Caulfield or Clayton Campuses. Those required to attend should give an acceptance of their attendance. If there is an ability to attend at a particular time, location or venue, a decision must be made to –proceed as planned –reschedule –notify those unable to attend of the conclusions, directions, and outcomes of the meeting

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 28 Meetings Meetings should have a stated commencement time, and an expected closure time There must be an agenda The agenda must be circulated to all those expecting to attend All relevant materials, or references to them, must be included in the meeting outline

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 29 Meetings Agendas should be discussed and approved at the previous meeting Failing that, each member expecting or required to attend should receive a formal statement of the agenda Attendees, apologies and non-attendances should be recorded

CSE9020 Semester Week 02 / 30 Meetings Meetings can also be arranged and held via telephone and s. It is a good move for the ‘minute taker’ to keep a record of the proceedings.
