- s you already know, at the end of CS 700, you should have a had a complete system design of a project…and now that some time has passed, you may have thought about changes that you want to make to the project…or you might think that you want to do a completely different project!…
For your next assignment, we need to make sure our project is “up to date”…
- Using your Project Charter from last semester as a base, update your charter to include any changes you would like to make to your project…you should also update the tools and resources that you plan on using…your “updated” proposal should contain details about the functionality of your project and the tools to be utilized…
- You should also include a one to two page summary of the changes you want to make…
- Of course, if you make changes to your Charter, that means there are potential changes to your Project Plan, Gantt Chart, and Budget…
- Review your changes and update your project plan, Gantt Chart, and budget accordingly…
- Remember, the plan must be a DETAILED plan, showed all major tasks and subtasks…make sure you maintain ORIGINAL, REVISED, and ACTUAL Start and End Dates…MS-Project is probably the best software for this, as it contains many templates that you can work from…but there are others such as Smartsheet and MS-Visio…any of these is fine…
- When you submit your project plans, please submit both the ORIGINAL document AND a PDF or SCREENSHOT of the plan…this way I can review the plan if I am having difficulties with the original…
- I will review all updates, and either approve them or reject them with explanations…if I feel there are major issues with your revisions, I will reach out to you via email to schedule some time to review and discuss…
What if you do not want to make any changes?…that is fine also…just tell me that…but keep in mind…your final product must match the Project Charter…so no major changes can be made without the Project Sponsor’s approval…
Please do not forget to submit your status EVERY WEEK…there is a separate folder for your status…
