2. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20032 Overview Review Project Structure (lecture 4) Project Profile - generic stages

3. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20033 Project Inception - Roles Steering CommitteeProject Board Database Administrator Project Manager Quality Manager User Manager Pilot (&) Acceptance Team User(s) Team Leader(s) Analyst(s)Programmer(s) Business Sponsor IT Sponsor

4. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20034 Project Lifecycle Generic stages of a Project Lifecycle –not dependent on any specific method or lifecycle Start-Up (Initiation) Development Completion Operational

5. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20035 Start-Up What is to be carried out? –Objectives, scope, constraints and interfaces –From; feasibility study, project brief, TOR Why is it being done? –Refer to Business Case, Cost / benefit Analysis –Check whether circumstances have changed

6. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20036 Start-Up Who will do it? –Project organisation (roles and responsibilities) How is it being done? When is it being done? –Both How? And When? Refer to a series of plans which will be constantly updated as the project develops.

7. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20037 Start-Up General plan description –prerequisites, external dependences, assumptions Technical plan –deliverables (products), activities, times / dates/ durations and dependences Resource plan –people and effort, materials, tools, accommodation

8. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20038 Start-Up Quality plan –cross references any quality management system, quality manual, development methods Risk analysis –identifies risks, impact and countermeasures Configuration management –control over deliverables, change control process

9. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 20039 The Development Stage Requirements Definition Design Implementation Integration and Test System Test

10. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200310 The Development Stage Requirements Definition –deliverable = Requirements Specification –checks the understanding of customer and supplier –fixes the scope of the project –the basis on which the system will be accepted –should include clear acceptance criteria

11. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200311 The Development Stage Design –separation of logical and physical designs –must be a clear audit trail from requirements specification to design components

12. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200312 The Development Stage Implementation –programming and unit testing –results in a set of modules built and tested to specification

13. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200313 The Development Stage Integration and testing –Ensures all modules communicate, and in the required way –may also include integration with customer’s existing systems - often a different set of tests

14. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200314 The Development Stage System Testing –ensures the whole system works as defined in the original System Requirements Specification (Waterfall lifecycle) OR as revised specifications (V model and Spiral model) –includes checking that Acceptance Criteria have been met

15. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200315 The Completion Stage Delivery –of all agreed deliverables held under configuration management, incl. code and paper records of code Training and documentation –the culmination of a process

16. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200316 The Completion Stage Acceptance Testing (UAT) –functionality (see Requirements Specification) –performance (incl. recovery). Check volumes, speeds, user numbers, response times –interface testing - integration with existing systems –environmental testing - heat, noise etc

17. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200317 The Completion Stage Acceptance System Commissioning –installed in final site and loaded with live data (sometimes combined with UAT) Final Hand-over –end of project report by Project Manager (time, cost, quality results) –project evaluation report by Project Director / User Project Manager

18. Cadle & Yeates Ch 5 Revised by Ivor Perry Sept. 200318 The Operational Stage Not usually part of the project Additional changes ‘tweaks’ –subject to change control process post-implementation review(s) –links back to Business Case –links back to Requirements Specification –measures success –may become launch pad of the next project
