Introduction Project Management – Project management is the methodological approach. Project Management and technology – Project Management implementation. Benefits of Project Management – Efficiency – Customer satisfaction – Improved growth – Competitive edge 3MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Evolution of System 370 Reusability of software – Mainframe hardware Virtual Memory 4MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Project life cycle Conception – Idea: system with extendable memory Selection – Backward compatibility – Software reusability – Memory address storage Planning – Peter Druke (plans) – Time factor – Project outcome meets parent organization outcome Termination – Will be discussed latter 5MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Project drivers Speed to market – Fore front in technology market Cost effective – Features Complexity an uniqueness of innovation – Reusability of software Distribution of enterprise – Geographic location 6MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Objectives of System 370 Price Compatibility Performance 7MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Project Selection Model Sacred cow Competitive necessity – Market domination in US and Europe – Fore front of technology Product line extension – Chain of family line architecture 8MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Risk and Uncertainty The most highly risk decision in computer industry. “Classic case of all eggs in one basket” Uncertainty 9MGMT 341 IBM System 370

The Project Manager Mythical on-Month – “Adding man power to a late project make it later” Brooks invented computer architecture – Aid in reusing software packages in new hardware 10MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Project Organization Organizational structure – Manner in which an organization arrange itself Functional – System 370 Matrix – System MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Integration Program Managers Hierarchy 12MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Project Control Result regulation Administration Asset conservation – Physical asset – Financial asset – Human resource 13MGMT 341 IBM System 370

Termination Termination by extinction – Name Replacement 14MGMT 341 IBM System 370
