Software Development Life Cycle – Personal Task ApplicationNote: Click here for assisted audio provided to describe the SDLC imageIn Chapter 9 of our course text, you studied the phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Use the steps of the SDLC to describe the process of accomplishing a task that is of interest to you. Your task can be any task and does not have to be related to an IT system. Examples might be to take a trip; buy a house, car, or something else; get a degree; learn how to do something; plan a party; bake a cake; or just about anything else. The idea here is to come up with some concrete examples of the abstract concepts of the SDLC to show that you really understand what each step involves.The SDLC has five primary phases:Systems Planning and SelectionSystems AnalysisSystems DesignSystems Implementation and OperationSystems MaintenanceAfter you have formulated your task and described each step, present your information in a PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of six slides (This is in addition to the title and reference list slides).Presentation requirements:You should have a title slide, a table of contents slide, and a reference list slide.You should have at least one slide for each of the SDLC phases. Use the SDLC phase to title these slides: System Planning and Selection, Systems Analysis, Systems Design, Systems Implementation and Operation, and Systems Maintenance. Include speaker points in each slide.Your presentation should have at least two relevant images in it.Your summary slide(s) should answer the following question:Why is it important to integrate the SDLC process?The Software Development Life Cycle – Personal Task Application PowerPoint AssignmentMust have a minimum of six slides (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..Must include a separate title page with the following:Title of PowerPointStudent’s nameCourse name and numberInstructor’s nameDate submittedMust use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the course text.The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types.

1. Project Background and Description The purpose of this project is to mitigate the beach erosion problem and provide additional amenities for the resort. The beach erosion problem has made it difficult to attract clients to the resort. The project will include construction of a pier, the installation of an erosion barrier under the pier, and the installation of a buoy line to isolate a safe area for swimmers and non-motorized water activities. 2. Cost Management Plan With your project charter approved, it is now time to start creating your cost management plan. We need to define how you will manage costs for the project. If a project charter is not available, list any necessary assumptions made in an assumptions log. (See template in Moodle) 3. MS Project File:WBS In the Zoom class on Monday, July 812h , your professor will have walked through the creation of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in MS Project. (See recording posted in Moodle) Select a teammate that has successfully installed MS Project and refine the MS Project WBS (posted in Moodle) to align with your team’s vision of the activities that will have a significant cost associated to them. 4. High-Level Requirements Your cost management plan should include the following information: Use the definitions on page 238 of the PMBOK (v6) or page 82-83 of Project Manager’s Book of Forms for more details on each item. ? Units of measure ? Level of precision ? Level of accuracy ? Organizational procedures links ? Control thresholds ? Rules of performance measurement ? Reporting formats ? Additional details as per page 239 in PMBOK (optional) ? You must use the Cost Management Plan from the Project Manager’s Book of Forms. (Template posted in Moodle) Your MS Project file should include information listed below. You can use the MPP template that is posted on the Moodle page as a starting point for project plan, or you can create one on your own. Use the definitions on page 238 of the PMBOK (v6) or page 82- 83 of Project Manager’s Book of Forms for more details on each item. ? List of Activities for the project and list of significant items to purchase. (ie. Items that add up to a significant cost) ? Resources assigned to the activity (ie. Who is doing the work)? ? Estimated starting and ending dates. (This is not a scheduling course, exact dates are not required) 5. Deliverables ? A homework submission that aligns with the homework submission template that was developed in class. ? A cost management plan that outlines how you will manage the project costs based on the requirements listed above. ? A MS Project file (MSP) that summarized the activities and the purchases required for this project. ? An assumption log that identifies all important assumptions that were made to complete the cost management plan. ? A group activity log that clearly outlines which team members contributed to the project, how much time it took, and any tools & techniques used. ?
