Assignment 1: Explore Software Engineering Conferences Due Week 1 and worth 50 points The goal of the first week is to become familiar with different software engineering conferences. You will gain an understanding of some of the top software engineering conferences and the types of research being conducted at these venues. The top research conferences are:
· International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE)
· Foundations in Software Engineering (FSE)
· Mining Software Repositories (MSR)
· Automated Software Engineering (ASE)
Write a document in which you:
1. Explore at least two 2018 Software engineering conferences by identifying the title and location for your chosen conferences.
2. Provide a summary of your learning by illustrating the most repeated topics discussed in your selected conferences.
Your assignment must follow these requirements:
· This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) . The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
· Fully develop your ideas: While there is no specific page requirement, students are expected to fully develop their ideas using business communication language. This means you must demonstrate to your professor you have absorbed the material and understand it. A statement of fact should be supported by two or three sentences. A paragraph should only contain one idea. A fully developed idea doesn’t mean an exhaustive explanation in which students write everything they know, just enough to get the point across to the reader.
· Make sure you do your own work: Never copy and paste material from the Internet unless the assignment specifically calls for that. When you do make a statement of fact, you should cite your source. You can support the fact with a quote, but use these sparingly. Most of what you submit should be your own work.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Develop proposed improvements to theory and practice in software management.
· Apply project management techniques to manage resources and issues in software engineering.
· Write clearly and concisely about software engineering using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Assignment 2: Project Proposal Due Week 2 and worth 100 points To begin this assignment, come up with a name for a company you wish to use. Now, imagine that you have been assigned as a project manager for this company. You had a meeting with a group of administrators who have pointed out a significant drop in product sales and customer complaints related to placing an order and searching the items. The company is losing customer trust. You have been assigned as a project manager to identify the problems and manage your company’s new or updated e-commerce website, where customers can browse the company’s products, place orders, and interact with the company’s customer service representatives. Be mindful that the company’s e-commerce website can be viewed on a smartphone and should have an Android or iPhone app.
Write a report in which you:
1. Describe the problem – What is going wrong and why are things not as efficient as they could be?
2. Establish some end goals for this undertaking – What do you want to be able to accomplish with these improvements?
3. Propose a solution – How specifically will you achieve that goal? What steps will you take to correct the problem?
4. Provide a feasibility analysis that contains the following elements:
a. Time feasibility – Can this be solved in a finite time span?
b. Economic feasibility – Is the solution affordable?
c. Technical feasibility – Is the solution possible given current technology?
d. Legal feasibility – Are there any laws or regulations that could hinder the project?
e. Operational feasibility – Can the solution fit into existing business processes?
5. Develop a Project Scope Statement that encompasses the following elements:
5. Scope description
5. Key milestones and deliverables
5. Assumptions and constraints
