Project cap 4

Abstract/Executive summary:

The purpose of this project is to implement new software into the company to increase productivity. The company uses its current software to create logos, labels, and many other things for large companies. The other goals are to update the protection on the software because in the past there have been a few problems with the security of the software and the information on the software. Another important goal is to have the computers and memory updated to work more efficiently that before. The software has been slow and has not been able to keep up with the new graphics needed for the current projects. The software will crash and then be down for days or longer. This is causing loss of customers and over all bad for the company.

The overall goal for this project is for the new software to be installed, working properly, and producing the power needed to create the projects for the company. I, as the project manager have decided to do agile methodology for the project. There have been multiple projects prior to this one done the same way and it seemed to go well for the company. The project is set to start August eight, so in just a few days and everything is going as planned. The deadline for this project is December twelfth. The project should be about one hundred days long from begging to end. The budget for this project is two hundred fifty thousand dollars and it is being estimated at just over two twenty-four thousand dollars. There is a continuity budget of twenty thousand dollars.

Change Management Plan:

This project will be an agile project methodology. Since this projec is agile methodology there will be a lot of change and will need to be processes in place to manage the changes. One important tool that will be used to keep up with changes is a change request form. This form will help state what is needed and why and all of the details for the change. Anther important tool is managing the triple constraint of the scope, budget, and quality of the project. When changes come these things will change too. Manging these things can help keep the project from risks and other problems.

Communication Mangement:

Every project has to have commuication within it. During this project there will be progress report meetings, quailty report meetings, risk report meets, staff meetings, change meetings, budget meetings, resource meetings, and many more types of meetings that are important to all staff.

Quality control and management:

Controlling and managing quality for a project is very important and challenging for a project. You want to be able to ensure quality throughout the project to make sure that the products that are being delivered are to the quality standard needed and promised. One thing that can be done is to do audit the quality of the project. This is done by auditing different departments on its progress and quality and it helps you determine the quality. Anther thing that can be done is to do quality assurance on certain things like the processes the project. For example, if you needed to measure quality on the installation of the software you could test the software to ensure that it is working properly and to its full limits. If not, then you know that there was something wrong with the install. Controlling quality is important and can be done by using the tools to ensure they are to the right standards. For example, if the tools are used and it is determined that the quality is low or not to standard then that gives you the information you need to fix the problem. If you do not measure or monitor quality, then the products produced will not meet the customers needs.

Procurement Plan:

The Procurement plan for a project is about purchasing items from outsources or external companies or people for the project. The Procurement plan is a plan about how these items were obtained and things that were done to select these items and the process of selection. Some of the steps in procurement management is managing the items ordered, reviewing the orders, reviewing the receipts, and more. Procurement can also be about physical work being done in a project.

Make or Buy Analysis: This analysis is very important to our company. This is an analysis done to analysis if it would be in the interest of the company to make (complete the task in house) or buy (outsource the work). This analysis is done by analyzing the costs for both methods, resources, materials, timeline, scheduling, and workload.
