INTRODUCTION
In this report we analyzed the 3 different case studies how it involves in developing the new system. In first case study College Education Completion, we understand the system development approach and implement the SDLC for the new system and the other case study Custom Load Trucking to analyze the project oriented approach in the business analysis and how project manager can make the project success. In last case study John and Jacob online trading system, we understand and identify the system requirements to develop the system.
TASK 1: COLLEGE EDUCATION COMPLETION METHODOLOGY
SUB-TASK 1.1: LIFECYCLE PHASES
College education completion is a project to complete the project in expected time and budget is very important for every student but many students are failing entirely to complete the college and many of the students completing very late with over budget. To manage and complete the college education successfully requires developing the college education completion methodology.
Students should develop and construct the system development lifecycle methodology to create the various phases and manage the activities in the corresponding phases. Every lifecycle methodology involves in different phases as follows:
All these phases are traditional system development lifecycle phases. Planning is the starting phase to initiate the project and set the goals in this phase. In analysis phase or block people gather the requirements to develop the system and prepare the document for use in the design phase. In the Design phase people will read the requirement document and design the overall structure of the system. In the Implement phase people can implement the required functionalities and test those functionalities to verify whether those are reaching the requirements. And Deployment phase is the last phase of the college education completion project and students will complete the course successfully.
SUB-TASK 1.2: ACTIVITIES OF EACH PHASE
Students should perform the activities to complete the college successfully and all these activities will be come under various phases of the project.
In planning phase, student should set the goals to complete the semesters and complete the college successfully. Student should plan to go to the college and attend the classes every day and perform the assessments regularly. In analysis phase, student can get inputs from other successful students and course instructors and record those inputs and prepare the document. In design phase, student should read the inputs and build the structure to complete the college education. Student should implement the study process by involving in group discussions, seminars and online exams. Student should complete all the subject assessments and all the semesters successfully and complete the convocation and enter into the outside of the college.
SUB-TASK 1.3: TECHNIQUES
It is a process to help the students to develop their tasks related to the study program. Technique is a collection of instructions which used to complete the tasks. Students should use different techniques to evaluate their performances and analyze the issues. User interviewing techniques is the best suitable for completing college education project. Students can interview the other students and their lecturers and instructors to know the important inputs to complete the task successfully.
SUB-TASK 1.4: MODELS
Model refers the important aspect of the activity and it can be used in development of the study program and we can use some models which represent in graphical format. Here we can use the Gantt chart to represent the tasks and duration of completing the tasks and dependents. So that students can easily monitor their progress.
SUB-TASK 1.5: TOOLS
To develop the model we need to use the software tools which helps to draw in graphical format and it is easier to understand by the students. In this project we chosen to create the Gantt chart and we can use the Microsoft Project tool to create the suitable model for our project. And there are many project management tools available in the market.
TASK 2: CUSTOM LOAD TRUCKING
CLT is a trucking firm which specialized in the movement of high tech equipment. Rapidlygrowing technologies, communications and IT industries are pressuring the CLT to move the loads more quickly and rapidly. So to manage these CLT wanted to build the strong project managers within the organization.
SUB-TASK 2.1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
CLT takes the decision to build the project managers from their organization itself are the best choice since already internal employees have good knowledge in the existing processes and procedures. If they are from the organization means it very easier to evaluate their performance in their previous projects.
CLT should make sure that project manager have the following strong skills.
SUB-TASK 2.2: CRITERIA TO MEASURE PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY OF STEWART
Monica wanted to measure the Stewarts’ performance as a project manager and she reviewed his record and she found that he is excellent team leader on his last project and he worked as a team leader and system analyst for his last project and he involved in system analysis, design and programming. He makes sure the project executed on schedule and also ensured that his team is also right on schedule. So Monica wanted to use some criteria to measure his project manager responsibility. We can provide the some inputs to measure his leadership qualities, communication skills and how able to manage the risks and how he interact with customers. Monica can use the performance as a metric and measure this metric to quantify the efficiency and effectiveness of the project. Monica also need to measure the budget metric, whether the project manager can be able to complete the project within budget and another metric is the time duration, whether Stewart can be able to complete the tasks within the expected time. All these metrics help the Monica to evaluate the Stewart’s project management responsibility.

John and Jacob’s online trading system can be used by the customers and staff. So it is required to get the inputs from the brokers to upgrade the online trading system which can be used by them. Edward can provide the questionnaires for end user groups to get the feedback about the current project so that we can identify the current issues and analyze those to provide the solution. Questionnaire consist group of questions relating to the expected system and drawbacks of the current system. We place the quantitative questions with multiple choices and some of the questions have the fill in the blanks. Project manager need to identify the key users in the user group and distribute the questionnaires to the people at a time so that it takes very less time.
SUB-TASK 3.2: CUSTOMERS INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPEMNT PROCESS
John and Jacob’s trading system includes the trade order entry, trade confirmation and customized reporting, etc. to develop all these applications require to get the requirements of the customers but Edward is little nervous to involve them in the development process since they are not happy with the existing system since they used some legacy technologies to develop the application now they are updating the system with new technologies and intimate the users that new application is fit for the mobile and tablets, etc. it motivates the customers to involve in the design process and Edward can use the collaboration technique to invite the selected group of customers and make sure that their preferences also part of the input at the time of designing the system. Here customers can voice their concerns, preferences and pain points.
SUB-TASK 3.3: STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
Stakeholders are the internal employees of the organization, external clients and some of the suppliers. Involving the stakeholders is also very important element for project successful.
