...| Scope of Work | PCI Redactor | | The Pi PCI redactor. A program that will erase all PCI information from your imaging system. | | | | I chose to do a project using software development, to create software applications that utilize computer robots to mask sensitive PCI information from images stored in a business imageing system. All over the country companies are accepting the newly adapted electronical payment method, such as Credit Cards and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). Usually, their clients complete a credit card form or EFT form, which then contains their personal, sensitive information. The company will store this information in their imaging system, if they ever need to refer back to the form. Due to this, clients personal PCI information is now on display to all the users at the company, and potential hackers. After completing the fishbone diagram, it doesn’t seem I will encounter any issues on the implementation of this project, or designing and creating. I have also learnt that this utility can also perform other functions of redaction, not only PCI, we can also remove social security numbers. The only issue I can foresee is keeping within my budget. Because I hold all the equipment needed for this project, and I am the programmer, I will be able to keep the budget within the alloted $5,000. The objective of this project is to protect customers sensitive information. Customers complete payment forms for companies to make automatic payments...

...Project scope is the parameter of the project. It defines what are the deliverables, requirements and expectations for the project and provides a baseline to exclude unrelated works. The project manager’s job is to ensure all necessary works for the project success are included. And this process is referring to as the project scope management. Project scope management involves six processes, which are planning scope management, collecting requirements, defining scope, creating WBS, validating scope and controlling scope. These six interrelated steps provide an agreement between the stakeholders and project team to clarify expectation and requirements. The six processes also allow the team to understand how and what they should do in order to deliver the project within the deadline and without exceeding limited resources. 1. Planning scope management: This process answers the question “how will the team manage and maintain the scope” and “how to prepare required documents”. The team will review the project description from the project charter and project management plan to develop scope management plan and requirements management plan. The scope management plan defines how to prepare, maintain and control all management documents such as project scope statement, WBS and change requests. This step set the foundation for the scope management, as the team and manager will choose the most efficient way in controlling the process. 2. Collecting requirements: After defining the...

...CDC UNIFIED PROCESS PRACTICES GUIDE PROJECT SCOPE PLANNING Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the practice of Project Scope Planning and to describe the practice overview, requirements, best practices, activities, and key terms related to these requirements. In addition, templates relevant to this practice are provided at the end of this guide. Practice Overview Each project’s product and/or service is unique and requires its own careful balance of practices, processes, tools and techniques, etc. to ensure the required work is completed as agreed upon by key project stakeholders. The sum of these along with the product and/or service to be delivered by the project is known as the project’s scope. Getting key parties to agree upon what is the scope of the project’s work is known as project scope planning. The practice of project scope planning is a key management practice for planning and delivering projects successfully. Project scope includes high level features or capabilities that the business team has committed to delivering to a customer as well as those they have not committed to delivering. Project scope is often defined by executive sponsor, steering committee, project sponsor, and the project’s customer with input from other appropriate stakeholders. Understanding and analyzing who project stakeholders are is an important early step in the scope planning process. Project stakeholders are persons and/or organizations such...

Project scope management in terms of processes serves for the stakeholders and team to have The same frame on what products the project will have to use to produce and processes the intended project. There are five main processes in project scope management (PSM): a. Collecting requirements is a technique of collecting documents, management plan, and traceability matrix and project scope statement. It defines what is included and what is not by clarifying the boundaries. This will be the details to satisfy the stakeholders in order for their expectations to be managed. This important documentation is from which the schedule, budget, quality specifications, resource plans, and risks emanate. (Litten 2014; p. 1) Means inserting the conditions and capabilities needed by the users to solve the problem also refers to an objective, meaning that it needs to satisfy the contract, standard, specification. b. Defining scope; allows to identify the goals, objectives, tasks, sub phases, resources, budget and scheduling outlining the parameters or limitations of the project, spelling what is excluded including project by-products that are not goals (Richter 2011, p. 1).

...project has little or no chance to succeed. With a proper scope statement a project has the foundation for success. In the case of Calcutta’s Metro I believe the major problem was that the Project Manager (PM) didn’t effectively manage the project scope. A project scope according to Pinto is “everything about a project – work content as well as expected outcomes” . Since an effective project scope was not developed the project had multiple problems such as funding, construction plan, site ownership, pressure for stakeholders, and traffic flow just to name a few. The majority of the short term problems like traffic flow and pressure from stakeholders led to the long term problem of been over budget and time. Project Scope Management contains the following; conceptual development, scope statement, work authorization, scope reporting, control systems, and project closeout . Any one of these elements if properly managed and executed would have help with the success of the project. During the conceptual development the project team would have used brainstorming events that would have identified any problems to considered and plan for. With a scope statement the project team would have had a clean picture of what the project was, initial budget and responsibilities. The PM could have used work authorization to ensure that the contractual requirements and terms are known. Scope reporting would have updated the scope with any changes during the project. With proper control...

...Explain the content of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and discuss its role in project management and the connection to the organisation. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a tool that is used to define the work elements of a project and identify its entire scope. It is the map of the project which identifies all elements of the project and allows managers to keep track and control of it. It is made of a hierarchy which facilitates the evaluation of cost, time and performance at all levels of the project life-cycle and organization. The structure illustrates the smaller units and allows for adaptation and quick communication if there a problems which need to be addressed. Definitions of each task should be clear and avoid overlapping in assignments. Defining the project scope The scope of a project is the end result, the deliverable or project end item.
