Planning phase

Project Initiation :Introduction

Here the organization creates and assess the original goals and expectations for a newsystem.

First step is to identify the project-that will deliver the value of business

Second step the analyst performs a feasibility analysis to determine technical, economic,

and organizational feasibility analysis.hirdly the appropriate project is selected and the development of the project begins

Feasibility analysis guides the organization in determining whether to proceed with the

project

&t describes the important step of the project management

&t begins with planning phase, and continuous throughout the S*.

&t estimates the size of the project and identifies the tas" that need to be performed.Staffs the project and puts several activities in place to help co-ordinate project activities.

&t includes wor" plan, staffing plan, and standards list.

&t is the process of planning and controling the development of a system.&t is an actual profession, and analyst spend years wor"ing on projects prior to tac"ling

the management of them.

Identifying the project size

+roject management is in ma"ing trade offs and 1 important concepts) he size of the

system interms of what it does/ the time to complete the project when the project will

be finished / and the cost of the project.hese 1 things are interdependent lever that the project manager controls throughout the

S*

2henever one lever is pulled the other lever are affected in someway.

here are two basic ways to estimate the time re$uired to build a system.he simplest method uses the amount of time spent in the planning phase to predict the

time re$uired for entire project. he idea is that a simple project will re$uire littleplanning and complex project will re$uire more planning.

Typical business application system spend !" of its effort in planning# $%" in

analysis# &!" in design phase and &%" in implementation phase3

Function +oint %pproach

he second approach to estimation is called function point approach.

&t is more complex, and it is hoped more reliable three step process.First the project manager estimates the size of the project in terms of *ines of code.

he size estimate is then converted into the amount of effort re$uired to develop the

system.

he estimated effort is then converted into an estimated schedule time in terms of the

number of months from start to finish.((0( 0odel

&t is one of the most common algorithm.

((0( model vary based on the complexity of the software, size of the system the

experience of the developers and the type of software you are developingreating and managing wor" plan

he project manager has a general idea of the size and approximate schedule for the

project and he or she creates a wor" plan.

&t is a dynamic schedule that records and "eeps trac" of all the tas"s that need to be

accomplished over the course of the project.

The 'or( plan lists each tas( along 'ith important information captured by the

'or( plan)

*i"e name of the tas"

&t determines average number of staffs needed for the project&t describes number of people who will wor" on the project

oordinating the project activities

*i"e all project management responsibilities the act of coordinating the project activities

continuous through out the entire project until a system is delivered to the project sponsor

and end users.
