PNT400S Project Management 4
Project Assignment
Introduction
You are required to play the role of a
project manager for an IT or ICT related project involving at least
participants and running over a period of 3 to 6 months. Those candidates for
this subject who have a background in software development or information
technology management, are encouraged to choose projects in either software
development; or perhaps a technology migration project involving a change of IT
platform and applications. For the purpose of the aforementioned students, the
IEEE Software Project Management Plan will serve as a suitable template for
your document. Refer to the SPMP slides on Blackboard or search for extra
information on the internet. Those candidates with a networking background are
encouraged to identify a plan similar comprehensiveness -there are some
possible examples available- which describes how to manage the construction of
a network. Look to the SPMP as an example of how such a plan is structured.
