Assignment: Prepare a Scope Management Plan Base the assignment on a fictional business that has its own in-house development staff. Pick an IT-related project that is sufficiently large/complex that will take between 9-12 months to complete. One of the purposes of the plan is how you will deal with scope creep. There is no required format, but it should be well organized, easy to understand. You will be graded on both the content and your level of understanding of the topic. Purpose: To demonstrate your understanding of managing project scope. Content: Your plan must have the following sections: · Introduction · Management Approach · Roles and Responsibilities · Scope Definition · Project Scope Statement · Gathering Requirements · WBS · Scope Verification · Scope Control Normally, the plan should have the following: · The management approach would include the type of "model" (like waterfall) · You'd have a listing of the WBSs · You'd have how often the workers report their status · You'd have how you plan to control scope creep · The verification would include how you know you met the requirements Requirements: · At least 3 pages (single spaced) long. Note: 2.5 pages does not equal 3 · No more than 35% of the content is copied Microsoft Word - Final Project CIS 4351 – IS Project Management Final Term Project – Spring 2020 Due 5/3/2020 MANAGE YOUR HEALTH Directions: Complete each deliverable under the Task section for each project management knowledge area. You may use the template data files located in the Course Module. Modify as needed. Submit all your deliverable in one zip file. Make sure you title each file appropriately. Part 1: Project Integration Management Manage Your Health, Inc. (MYH) is a Fortune 500 company that provides a variety of healthcare services across the globe. MYH has more than 20,000 full-time employees and more than 5,000 part-time employees. MYH recently updated its strategic plan; key goals include reducing internal costs, increasing cross-selling of products, and exploiting new Web-based technologies to help employees, customers, and suppliers work together to improve the development and delivery of healthcare products and services. Below are some ideas the IT department has developed for supporting these strategic goals: 1. Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project: Provide an application on the current intranet to help employees improve their health. A recent study found that MYH, Inc. pays 20 percent more than the industry average for employee healthcare premiums, primarily due to the poor health of its employees. You believe that this application will help improve employee health within one year of its rollout so that you can negotiate lower health insurance premiums, providing net savings of at least $30/employee/year for full-time employees over the next four years. This application would include the following capabilities:  Allow employees to register for company-sponsored recreational programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, and walking.  Allow employees to register for company-sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking, and manage other health-related issues.  Track data on employee involvement in these recreational and health-management programs.  Offer incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc.). 2. Health Coverage Costs Business Model: Develop an application to track employee healthcare expenses and company healthcare costs. Healthcare premiums continue to increase, and the company has changed insurance carriers several times in the past 10 years. This application should allow business modeling of various scenarios as well as tracking and analyzing current and past employee healthcare expenses and company healthcare costs. This application must be secure and run on the current intranet so several managers and analysts can CIS 4351 – IS Project Management Final Term Project – Spring 2020 Due 5/3/2020 access it and download selected data for further analysis. The new application must also import data from the current systems that track employee expenses submitted to the company and the company’s costs to the insurance provider. You believe that having this data will help you revise policies concerning employee contributions to healthcare premiums and help you negotiate for lower premiums with insurance companies. You estimate that this application would save your company about $20/employee/year for full-time employees over the next four years and cost about $100,000 to develop. 3. Cross-Selling System: Develop an application to improve cross-selling to current customers. The current sales management system has separate sections for major product and service categories and different sales reps based on those products and services. You see great opportunities to increase sales to current customers by providing discounts when they purchase multiple products and services. You estimate that this system would increase profits by $1 million each year for the next three years and cost about $800,000 each year for development and maintenance. 4. Web-Enhanced Communications System: Develop a Web-based application to improve development and delivery of products and services. There are currently several incompatible systems related to the development and delivery of products and services to customers. This application would allow customers and suppliers to provide suggestions, enter orders, view the status and history of orders, and use electronic commerce capabilities to purchase and sell their products. You estimate that this system would save your company about $2 million each year for three years after implementation. You estimate that the system will take one year and $3 million to develop and require 20 percent of development costs each year to maintain. Tasks: 1. Summarize each of the proposed projects in the case overview section using a simple table format suitable for presentation to top management. Include the name of each project, identify how each one supports business strategies, assess the potential financial benefits and other benefits of each project, and provide your initial assessment of the value of each project. Write your results in a one- to two-page memo to top management, including appropriate back-up information and calculations. 2. Evaluate the four projects in the case overview section by preparing a weighted scoring model using the template provided in the course Modules. Develop at least four criteria, assign weights to each criterion, assign scores, and then calculate the weighted scores. Print the spreadsheet and bar chart with the results. Also write a one-page paper that describes this weighted scoring model and the results. 3. Prepare a business case for the recreation and wellness intranet project. Assume that the project will take six months to complete and cost about $200,000. Use the business case template provided in the course Modules. CIS 4351 – IS Project Management Final Term Project – Spring 2020 Due 5/3/2020 4. Prepare a project charter for the recreation and wellness intranet project. Assume that the project will take six months to complete and cost about $200,000. Use the project charter template provided in this text and the sample project charter provided in Table 4-1 as guides. 5. Prepare a change request for the recreation and wellness intranet project, using the template provided in the course Modules. Be creative when making up information. Part 2: Project Scope Management You have been selected as the project manager for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. The schedule goal is six months, and the budget is $200,000. You were starting to put the project team together. You know you would have to develop a survey to solicit input from all employees about the new system and make sure it was user-friendly. Recall that this system would include the following capabilities:  Allow employees to register for company-sponsored recreational programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, and walking.  Allow employees to register for company-sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking, and manage other health-related issues.  Track data on employee involvement in these recreational and health-management programs.  Offer incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc.). Assume that MYH would not need to purchase any additional hardware or software for the project. Tasks 1. Document your approach for collecting requirements for the project. Include at least five requirements in a requirements traceability matrix. 2. Develop a first version of a project scope statement for the project. Use the template provided in the course Modules and the example in Chapter 3 as guides. Be as specific as possible in describing product characteristics and requirements, as well as all the project’s deliverables. Be sure to include testing and training as part of the project scope. 3. Develop a work breakdown structure for the project. Break down the work to Level 3 or Level 4, as appropriate. Use the template in the course Modules and samples in this text as guides. Print the WBS in list form. Be sure the WBS is based on the project charter earlier, the project scope statement created in Task 2, and other relevant information. 4. Use the WBS you developed in Task 3 to begin creating a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project. Do not enter any durations or dependencies. Print the resulting Gantt chart on one page and be sure to display the entire Task Name column. 5. Develop a strategy for scope validation and change control for this project. Write a short paper summarizing key points of the strategy.
