1 Project Plan Development Memo Donald J. Noordt CPMGT/311 July 23rd, 2018 Jeffrey Messinger 2 Project Plan Development Memo To: Chief Information Officer From: Project Manager Date: 7/21/18 Subject: Project Plan Development Statement of Scope The project for this paper is training management software. Due to stiff competition in the business environment today, companies are trying to gain a competitive edge in the market and subsequently hold a substantive market share. With training management software, the company can efficiently and effectively run internal training. Furthermore, with this software, the company can deal with its administrative tasks. Other benefits the company will enjoy with the training management software include active training tracking and reporting and financial management (Rubin, 2013). The primary objective of the project is to develop useful employee training software. After designing and implementing the training management software, the organization will be able to train its new and current employees effectively. In other words, the goal of the project is to design, develop, implement, and evaluate useful training management software within 14 months. Moreover, some of the deliverables of the project will include a project charter, project plan, training software manual, progress report, and system maintenance plan (Rubin, 2013). One of the critical assumptions of the project is that the project team will access the available resources during the development and implementation of the software. These resources include 3 financial, physical, and human resources. Furthermore, the assumption is that all essential stakeholders will be involved in the decision-making process. Moreover, another fundamental premise is that the project will conclude within the set duration and predetermined budget. Nonetheless, there are some limitations imposed on the project. One of the constraints of the project is the resources will be limited, and therefore the project team must work with the provided resources. Additionally, scope creep might happen to the project, and this will increase the cost, time, and resources and possibly reduce the quality of the project. Another constraint of the project is that not all stakeholders will support the development and implementation of the training management software (Ali, Rehman, Anjum, 2017). Users The users of the project will be primarily the organizational employees. Since the training management software will be used to manage and enhance the training and development of employees, the new and current employees will be the primary users of the project. In addition to the employees, the organizational management will also be the users of the project. The software will be used by the organization’s human resource department to conduct internal training for all employees. Project Requirements Gathering Process and User Stories The project requirements gathering process used in the project is prototyping. With this approach, the team members will conduct some requirements collection and then go to work to produce preliminary project deliverables. There will then be a presentation of the deliverables to the clients who will evaluate them and identify the prototype’s flaws. The project team will later fix the flaws based on the users’ evaluation. Prototyping is an essential project requirement 4 gathering process because it will enhance the quality of the final project at the same time encourages contact between the project team and the client/users (Alexandros, Sakas, Vlachos, Dimitrios, 2017). A user story is typically a device in Agile software development to obtain a portrayal of a software feature from an end-user viewpoint. Essentially, the user story outlines the type of users and what they want from the project. In the development and implementation of the training management software, user stories will assist in developing a compelling depiction of a requirement. The project team will incorporate user stories to create software that fits the description and needs of the users. In other words, the design of the software features is in a manner that aligns with the description portrayed by the users. The project manager will depend on user story mapping. The project manager and team members will picture how to achieve user stories within a sprint (Rubin, 2013). Product Features One of the features of the training management software is centralized training data. This feature will enable the users and other relevant stakeholders to access and manage course catalogs efficiently and effectively in a centralized location. Another feature of the software is tracking systems. To warrant that the training programs used per the organization’s policy, it is crucial to follow which training has completed. Therefore, the tracking systems will assist in monitoring the completed and overdue training. Another feature of the training management software is reporting systems. The software will provide reports, dashboards, and metrics to assist in monitoring individual and organizational employee performance. Estimates and Velocity 5 The expectation is that the project will take 14 months to complete. Furthermore, the estimated cost of the project is $50,000. This cost will spread throughout the four phases of the project management. These phases are projected initiation, planning, implementation, and project evaluation and control. Moreover, the expected velocity of the project is 40 points per sprint. This value is derived because the project team estimates 160 points over four sprints (Mousaei, Gandomani, 2018). 6 References Alexandros, N. K., Sakas, D. P., Vlachos, D. S., & Dimitrios, N. K.
