Assignment #3 Solution

High-Level Requirements:




 
For this project in Assignment #3, some tasks are missing and their sizes along with their corresponding productivity rates are unknown.




 
Use the productivity rates used in Assignment #1 and Assignment #2 to establish a baseline (the average of productivity rates for Assignment #1 and Assignment #2) for the Productivity Rates of Assignment #3




 
Use the size data for the different tasks used in Assignment #1 and Assignment #2 to establish a baseline (the average size data for Assignment #1 and Assignment #2) as Estimates for the Size data of Assignment #3




 
Consider WBS for Assignment #1 and Assignment #2 to identity the activities and tasks for Assignment #3.




 
Use sound software engineering judgments for creating new tasks and estimating size of new tasks or their productivity rates; consider the data you have seen in other projects in Assignment #1 and Assignment #2 in your judgments

Part I




Identify and calculate the missing data in the following Estimation Baseline Table

Part II




Using the data spreadsheet provided below to achieve the following:




 
Use the Estimation Baseline calculated in Part I in the creation of the project plan for Part II




 
Assume that you have been asked to create the project plan for this project after you have created the project plans for Assignment #1 and Assignment #2.




 
Assume it has been requested that this project be started on 3/19/18 after the project in Assignment#1 has been started and Assignment#2 has been started. The projects in Assignment#1 and Assignment#2 will use/share the same resources listed in Assignment#1 and Assignment#2.




 
Feed the information provided in this handout in MS Project to create the Project Plan and the Network Diagram




 
Create a WBS with the required phases and activities to complete this project




 
Assign the Resources to the Tasks making any assumptions you consider appropriate (Software Engineering Assumptions).




 
What is the earliest finish date for this project if it is scheduled to start on 3/19/18?




 
Can this project be completed 2 months after it starts? Explain why yes or no.




 
Submit your MS Project Files; submit all 3 project files.




 
Submit your Comments regarding the start and completion dates and resources assignments for the three projects in a PDF document called Analysis.pdf.




 
Document and comment on the WBS




 
Document and comment on the Network Diagram




 
Document and comment on the resource pool utilization


 
The two documents in step 9 and 10 shall be saved in a zipped file with name “HW#3- YourLastName, FirstName”.







Resources Available




Important Note: Use the resources listed in Assignment#1 and Assignment#2 in addition to the following resources:




 
Test Engineer: TE379. TE380, TE381, TE382, TE384, TE385, TE386




 
System Engineer: SE3379, SE380, SE381, SE382

 
Programmers/software engineers: PE379, PE380, PE381




 
Documentation Engineer: DE379, DE380, DE381, DE382




 
Assumptions and Constraints:




 
Use the same engineering assumptions used in Assignment #1 and Assignment #2.
















Task/Activity Dependencies:




It is expected that you will find the correct task dependencies based on the material discussed during class and considering the following constraints:




 
There is no technical task prior to requirement phase; project planning is not a technical task it is a managerial task. However, process updates tasks must be completed before Requirements phase starts.




 
Analysis Activity can start as soon as requirement document is complete

 
Design activity can start as soon as Analysis document is complete

 
Coding can start as soon as design is complete




 
Writing Test Plan can start as soon as requirements are complete

 
Executing Test Plan can start as soon as coding is complete

 
Documentation can start as soon as requirements are complete




 
Any other constraints that you might add, shall be documented clearly when you submit your homework.




 
Build the development and testing lab environment task must be completed before design starts and as soon as the project plan is complete.




 
Any engineer can update the software development process and any engineer can review or fix defects in the changes made to the software development process
