Answer & Explanation:Assignment 1: Activity Graph This
assignment consists of two (2) sections: a written project plan and a
PowerPoint presentation. You must submit the two (2) sections as
separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file
name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Section 1: Written Project Plan Imagine
you are a software engineer working on a fixed budget and you are
tasked to develop a Web-based student registration system. This
Web-based system allows students to register for classes, authenticate
their credentials, and select classes for which they are eligible to
register. It also registers the students, prints a confirmation receipt,
and prepares a registration invoice. You have been asked to provide
senior management with a detailed summary, activity graph, and project
plan of how you plan to execute the project.Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:Describe
the development of the student registration project as a work breakdown
structure of actions and transitions among these actions.Create
an activity graph from the breakdown structure using Microsoft Visio or
its open source alternative, Dia. Be sure to identify the time
estimates and critical path in your submission. Note: The graphically
depicted solution is not included in the required page length.Write
a project plan for this project which includes, but is not limited to, a
risk analysis, task scheduling, and personnel staffing for the project.Provide a rationale for the decisions you made in your project plan to senior management. Section 1 of this assignment must follow these formatting requirements:Be
typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
or school-specifi
c format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.Include a cover page containing the title of the
assignment, the studentÂ’s name, the professorÂ’s name, the course title,
and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.Include charts or diagrams
created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the project plan. All
references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the project
plan. Section 2: PowerPoint Presentation The
senior management team has also requested that you present the plan in a
concise presentation to the Board of Directors during the
organizationÂ’s next operations meeting.Create a five to ten (5-10) slide PowerPoint presentation for the presentation to the Board of Directors in which you:Present the proposed plan documented in the written project plan.Include
the key elements of the project plan (i.e., work breakdown structure,
activity graph, risk management, project schedule, and project
staffing).Include a justification of the decisions made in the proposed plan to senior management.Create
bulleted speaking notes for the presentation to the Board of Directors
in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume
any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established
in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication.Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:Develop project plans and schedules that satisfy user requirements.Use technology and information resources to research issues in software engineering.Write
clearly and concisely about advanced software engineering topics using
proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
