Chapter 12.4, Problem 4EGDQ
Explanation of Solution
The step that a project manager can do to prevent buy-ins while requesting a proposal on cost and materials systems development project:
- Buying in on a cost and materials contract is generally not recommended as there is huge chance for change in market value of the company due to any unfortunate circumstances.
- Buying in on a cost and materials contract could be illegal, if it is the projects fail or the costs increase dramatically...

As a project manager of a Software project, you have received given data about the different type of Issues identified in the project: –
Issue 1 – 85 occurrences; Issue 2 – 125 occurrences; Issue 3 – 28 occurrences; Issue 4 – 395 occurrences; Issue 5 – 185 occurrences; Issue 6 – 128 occurrences; Issue 7 – 85 occurrences; Issue 8 – 169 occurrences; Issue 9 – 148 occurrences; Issue 10 – 209 occurrences.
Which diagram you will use to prioritize the Issues? Generate the diagram using any tool and paste it here.
Formal technical review (FTR) makes the project more manageable. Comment.
Suppose you are working as a lead developer for a software house (This software house is a new startup so the developers are not well trained) and you are asked to deliver the project before the estimated time with the same available resources (i.e. neither the salary nor the practitioners are added).
In this kind of situation:
Which type of risks are identified?
Discuss how would you plan the situation being a team leader
(hint: Contingency plan)?
Suppose that you are part of a project team and it becomes clear to you that one of the team members is not “pulling his weight.” What should you do if you are the project leader? What should you do if you are not the project leader?

- In K. Wieger’s paper, “Validating Requirements”, he wrote: “On many projects, testing is a late-stage activity. Requirements-related problems linger in the product until they’re finally revealed through time-consuming system testing or by the customer.” Based on what we discussed recently in the peer reviews module, how can we address this problem and reduce requirements-related problems?arrow_forwardConsider that you have been chosen to lead a Scrum project.

- Consider a scenario where a task is dependent on another task being started not necessarily completed . For example a project may depend on a task being started and 25% being completed before the group could start their portion of the project. Do you think this situation occurs frequently in system analysis projectsarrow_forwardChoose the correct answer for all of the following questions. Al.

- Suppose that Ms. Hamir stacked the deck with her design proposal. In other words, she purposefully under-designed the less expensive solution and produced a cost estimate for the higher-end version that she knew would come in over budget if it were chosen. She also knew that the customer had a tendency to hire design consultants to do build projects. Discuss with your classmates if you think it is unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome. Suppose instead that Ms. Hamir had prepared a report that truthfully recommended the more expensive option as the better choice for the customer in her best professional opinion. Suppose that the customer decided on the less expensive option solely to reduce costs without regard to the project's security outcomes. Would Ms. Hamir be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision? Why or why not, discuss this further with your classmates.arrow_forwardConsider the development of the project from two different perspectives: one without architecture, and one with it.

- 1. Given your system had already deploy on your client’s company, and they found out later that there are still some needs of changes that has been addressed to you as Project Team leader. Create a Change of Control Process for your company’s board for approval. Follow the Steps given on the Change Control Process. (You can cite an example of a System, and elaborate each Steps) 2. Given a scenario where a subcontractor has installed discolored downlights. This issue has been identified by a worker or party on the project and flagged as needing to be corrected. Identify what corrective and preventive actions needed for this. 3. For you, what is the purpose of Software quality metrics in providing a software quality products?arrow_forwardYou are asked to do some requirement development. Suppose you are asked to develop a booking system for a public library system Define a possible scope for the system using the following steps. First list a wide range of things that the system could do. Then narrow down the scope by selecting the most important features that you would implement in the first release of the system. Finally, give a precise problem statement for the system. Identify stakeholders of the system. Then select one important stakeholder and design a list of questions for interviewing that stakeholder. Give functional requirements and quality requirements of the system. Create a list of use cases and describe two of them in detail using the method discussed in class (two-column method). Then draw use cases diagram to describe the system Using UML. Indicate extension, generalization and inclusion, if there are any.arrow_forwardFor a project with well-defined requirements and little risk, do you think waterfall or agile is more appropriate? Why?
