CIS 500 Status Report 2

Project Task for this week:

· Selecting project team members

· Discussion in detail the mission and vision of the information system project. It involved design a communication plan to be followed by the team member.

· Develop a critical plan of the information system that will meet the need of the internal and external users.

· The team member discusses the structure and content of the overall project.

· The team member provides an analysis of the purpose of the project, likely users, and how it can be implemented.

· The team members design the related issues, technology constraints, and the development environment of the project.

This week plans to set the foundation of the project by coming up with team members, focusing on the need for the project to be accomplished, setting everything in order, analyzing the project plan, and coming up with any constraint that may hinder the success of the project (Hannach, Marghoubi, & Dahchour, 2016). 

Project Task accomplished this week:

· Selection of effective team member

· Designing of communication plan

· Developing the need for the project

· Designing the structure and content of the project

The week activities did not adequately provide the constraint that might affect the proper development of the information system. The team was unable to forecast the constrained related to technology issues and the development environment (Bartak, 2016). This was due to time constraints and the lack of appropriate resources to analysis and predict the future. 

Project Issues:

· Technological issues such as the lack of effective technology resources required to analysis and predict the future need of the information system.

· Need for effective analysis of the expected user profiles 

· I need enough time to ensure the successful completion of the task at hand.

There was a plan to revise the next week's plan activities to award more time and provide the necessary resources required to implement the required task effectively (Teixeira, Xambre, Figueiredo, & Alvelos, 2016).

Project tasks planned for next week:

· Forecast on the project constraint 

· Utilization of project tool to design the project process and structure 

· Develop a project evaluation and resource tracking chart (Maranga, 2018).
