Lecture Business system development - Lecture 6: Managing the information systems project

Lecture 6 - Managing the information systems project. In this chapter we talked about: Project management activities during project initiation, planning, execution, and closedown; critical path scheduling, gantt charts, and network diagrams were discussed and explained; the utility of commercial project management software tools were also explained. | Business System Development CSC581 Lecture 6 Managing the Information Systems Project 2 Summary of the previous lecture In previous lecture, we learnt about: We talked about the process of managing an information systems project. We will also discuss the skills required to be an effective project manager The first two phases of a PM, i.e., Project Initiation and Project Planning were discussed. We also discussed the Gantt Charts Outlines We will talk about the remaining two phases of a PM, i.e., Project Execution and Project Closedown We will talk about other project management activities during execution, and closedown. We will talk about Critical Path Scheduling Learning Objectives To understand and distinguish the different phases of a PM. To deploy the knowledge learnt in real life information systems development projects 5 Phases of Project Management Process Phase 1: Initiation Phase 2: Planning Phase 3: Execution Phase 4: Closedown PM Phase 3: Project Execution Plans created | Business System Development CSC581 Lecture 6 Managing the Information Systems Project 2 Summary of the previous lecture In previous lecture, we learnt about: We talked about the process of managing an information systems project.

Actions Execute baseline project plan Monitor progress against baseline plan Manage changes in baseline plan Maintain project workbook Communicate project status Monitoring Progress with a Gantt Chart Red bars indicate critical path, lines through bars indicate percent complete. Communication Methods Project workbook Meetings Seminars and workshops Newsletters Status reports Specification documents Minutes of meetings Bulletin boards Memos Brown bag lunches Hallway discussions PM Phase 4: Project Closedown Bring the project to an end. Actions Close down the project. Conduct post-project reviews. Close the customer contract.
