ACTIVITY WEEK 5

In week 5, we were discussing Chapter 3, Managing the Information Systems Project. In this chapter, student learn about skills required to be an effective project manager, describe skills and activities of a project manager during project initiation, planning, execution and closedown. It also includes, discuss critical path scheduling, explain Gantt Charts and Network Diagrams, Review commercial project management software packages.

Project Management Process is a planned undertaking of related activites to reach an objective that has a beginning and an end. There are four phases in Project Management Process :

-          Initiating

-          Planning

-          Executing

-          Closing down

Gantt Charts is useful for depicting simple projects or parts of large projects. It show start and completion dates for individual tasks. While Network Diagrams is used to show order of activites.

In Commercial Project Management Software, there are many systems are available. Three activities are required in Commercial Project Management Software :

-          Establish project start or end date

-          Enter tasks and assign task relationships

-          Select scheduling method to review project reports

INTRODUCTION : SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This course introduces to students all activities in analyzing, designing and developing information systems including the management, specification, evaluation, security, and also techniques used in software maintenance.
Besides that , the purpose of System Requirements Analysis is to obtain a thorough and detailed understanding of users’ need and to break it down into discrete requirements, which are then clearly defined, reviewed and agreed upon with the Customer Decision-Makers.During System Requirements Analysis, the framework for the application is developed; including functional requirements, non-functional requirement, hardware and software requirements as well as the comparison of various development platforms and languages will be reviewed. In other word, system requirement analysis will provide the foundation for all future design and development efforts.
