How This Assignment Works

Welcome, everyone! This is your official course assignment for IT Project Management. This assignment will span several weeks—progress is expected weekly during class. Don’t rush; this is an ongoing project, and final submission will happen at semester’s end as a complete PC-1 document. For now, just follow these three steps!


Task 1: Pick Your Project Ideas

  • Choose three different project ideas by the end of this week.

  • Each project must be from a separate category:

    • Research Project

    • Software Development

    • Business Project

  • Select them based on your interests, future goals, or professional background.

  • At this point, you only need the titles/project types. More detail comes later!


Task 2: Do a Mini Feasibility & Requirement Report

For each project, write a report that defines:

  • Project Objectives

  • Project Scope

  • Key Deliverables or Objectives

  • Stakeholders (Internal & External)

  • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

  • Project Organization & Resources (OBS)

  • Project Costing (CBS)

  • Schedule/Timeline

  • Procurement/Contract Strategy

  • Risk Management Approach

  • Quality Management Plan

  • Change Management Approach


Task 3: Build Your Own Project Process Model

  • Design a custom process model for your three projects (as explained in Lecture 3).

  • Try to use the same model for all, and reflect on:

    • How well does it work for each project?

    • Is one model enough, or do you need three?

    • What changes would you make for each project type?

Consider:

  • What might cause your process model to fail?

  • What tweaks could make it flexible enough for all categories?

  • Start background research now for stronger results by semester’s end.


Questions to Answer

  • Is your process model successful on your projects?

  • Does a single model fit all, or are changes required?

  • What adjustments are necessary for the best fit?

  • When would your process model NOT work?


Submission

  • Final Due Date: End of semester (PC-I format)

  • Weekly Progress: Show your current status each week in class.


Stay organized, be creative, and remember—your work now sets the foundation for a potential research paper later! Good luck!
