...CIS 525 Week 10 Term Paper, Term Paper: Using Agile Project Management on Mobile Application Development Due Week 10 and worth 150 points Fictitious assumptions and details may be assumed or created for the completion of this assignment. Imagine you are the project manager for a critical project for an organization. The organization wants to implement an application on an iPad and Android Tablet such that the marketing executives and managers can get near real-time updates on how effective their marketing campaigns are doing. Since this project is so critical to the overall financial health of the company, you were asked to complete this project in three (3) months. Your business sponsors are very interested in your approach to manage this project and they are also demanding to see what the project team can deliver on a weekly basis. Due to the tight deadline, the project team was assembled quickly with ten (10) team members of various backgrounds. There are three (3) offshore developers in India and two (2) QA testers in San Francisco, CA. The rest of the project team and the product owner are in Herndon, VA. The team members were unfamiliar with each other. Additionally, there are ethical issues. For example, a developer has been consistently blaming an analyst for his accent that has little to do with project development. Another QA tester rarely spoke out in the meeting, but consistently went to her management to complain about a couple project team members for lacking...

...Project Management for Business LO1 Project management principles Introduction of project management Project management is a planned and structured effort to achieve an objective or is the process of managing, allocating, and timing available resources to achieve the desired goal of a project in an efficient and expedient manner, for example, creating a new system or constructing a project. Project management is widely recognized as a practical way of ensuring that projects meet objectives and products are delivered on time, within budget and to correct quality specification, while at the same time controlling or maintaining the scope of the project at the correct level. Project management includes developing a project plan, which includes defining and confirming the project goals and objectives, identifying tasks and how goals will be achieved, quantifying the resources needed, and determining budgets and timelines for completion. It also includes managing the implementation of the project plan, along with operating regular 'controls' to ensure that there is accurate and objective information on 'performance' relative to the plan, and the mechanisms to implement recovery actions where necessary. Projects usually follow major phases or stages (with various titles for these), including feasibility, definition, project planning, implementation, evaluation and support/maintenance Principles of project management The Success Principle The main goal of project management...

...Week1 Assignment 1: Application of Risk Management Assume the role of an IT manager assigned by Yield More's senior management to conduct the following risk management tasks. 1. Identify, analyze, and explain several (at least five) likely threat/vulnerability pairs and their likelihood of occurrence in this scenario. In this scenario some of the most likely pairs of threat/vulnerability pairs are location, equipment failure, social engineering, Denial of Service (DOS), and Mal ware. The reason I chose these threats is because they seem to be the most problematic for this company. The first one is location according to the scenario the servers are all housed in the company headquarters where if an a natural or man made disaster happened it would cripple the companies infrastructure. I would have advised the management to distribute there severs to different locations. In doing this if one goes down due to any natural or man made disaster it wouldn't matter because the other two could take up the slack. Another pair is equipment failure according to the scenario each server has its own specific function that it handles and nothing else. It would help mitigate some of the risk that would happen if each server along with handling there own problems would also handle tasks if the other servers went down. Social engineering is a problem because it is dependent on the user or the person. Social engineering is hacking the person for information that might need to be able...
