...[pic] MILESTONE 1 – SCOPE DEFINITION SOLUTION Request for System Services The students should have identified several problems and may have presented them in list format. Some may provide general descriptions of problems while others may go to the extra effort of giving concrete examples. The sample RSS provided here represents a general description. Some students may have given more specific descriptions such as those found in the first column of the problem statement matrix. You might stress to the students that often user expectations are simply stated in terms of a new system that works! However, some users have very specific ideas or expectations of what software and technologies will be used. The important thing is that the systems analyst should listen to understand the user’s envisioned new system, without commenting, even if it seems ridiculous or premature at the time. Problem Statement Matrix Students should try to identify problems and also opportunities that were mentioned in the narrative. It is possible they might have identified different ones and have stated completely different values for each of the cells. There is more than one right answer in systems analysis. There is also more than one wrong answer. Students should be able to defend their answers with specific statements from the case study exhibits. In this milestone enough information was provided to be able to quantify some but not all annual benefits. The form that follows illustrates...

...WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (WBS) Remote Control Rotary Mower YVONNE MILES 06-166 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 627-6 NOVEMBER 15, 2015 INTRODUCTION The WBS is a view into the project which shows what work the project encompasses. It is a tool which helps to easily communicate the work and processes involved to execute the project. The Project Manager and project team use the WBS to develop the project schedule, resource requirements and costs. There are many ways you can present the WBS for your project; this template provides many of the most popular layouts from which you can choose. Depending on where in the Project Plan you're putting the WBS a different layout may be more suitable for you. For instance many Project Managers include a high level WBS within the project plan, then a detailed version as an appendix to the plan. You may find that you prefer one layout for a high level WBS and a different one for a detailed WBS. In order to save space in this template we only developed the WBS examples down to the third level. In your project you will want to develop them down to a much more detailed level using the 8 to 80 rule (where the WBS is broken down to where a work package contains between 8 and 80 hours of work to complete). The Work Breakdown Structure presented here represents all the work required to complete this project. OUTLINE VIEW The outline view presents an easy to view and understand layout for the WBS. It is also a good layout...
