SDLC Final Project

Your Learning Team willprepare a paper that applies the SDLC methodology and tools presented in the course. The primary goal is to apply workflow and process management concepts in addressing specific needs of a selected functional area. Assume both parts are presented to an executive management committee. The paper must reflect professional preparation.

Due in Week 5:

Your Learning Team will writea 4,200- to 5,600-word paper that applies the SDLC methodology and tools presented in the course.

It will include a combination of all content from each of the drafts created during Week Two through Week Five.

AND

Your Learning Team will submit a 10- to 12- slide presentation due in Week Five. At minimum, the paper must include the following:

Business objectives with supporting measures of project success
Description of current business process or systems with identification of project scope and boundaries
Any project constraints: financial, time, resources, organizational policies, or culture
Business functional requirements
A description of new business process or systems; utilize process objectivesmodel and system objectivesmodel
Design requirements: input/output design, interface design, data model, network model

A cost/benefit analysis

This cumulative project is due in Week Five. Each week, your team works on a different section of the plan. The team will submit a draft of your work for the week and a team progress report to your facilitatoreach week. The weekly progress report will reflect the team’s progress as listed in the following weekly breakdown.

Week One

Review the SDLC Final Project requirements.

WeekTwo

Resource:Service Request pf-001 for Patton-Fuller Community Hospitallocated on the student website.

Reviewthe Service Request pf-001 for Patton-Fuller Community Hospital.

Definethe scope of the project. Identify the associated stakeholders and the preliminary assignments and tasks for each member. Create a detailed outline for each section.

Writea 1,400- to 2,100-word draft of the first sectionof the SDLC Final Project. Include the following:

Statement of scope and goals

Specify what functions are included in the project.

Supporting measures for success

Specify tangible measures for determining the relative degree of success of the completed project. Measures must correlate with goals specified in the first section.

Summary of project feasibility

Include specific operational, technical, and economic feasibility analysis. Operational and technical issues must specify how each issue is addressed. The economic analysis must include specific benefit and cost areas.

Current business process summary

Provide a flowchart and a separate high-level logical data flow diagram of the process.

Proposed system requirement list

List specific individual requirement needs in measurable and objective terms.

Develop slides matching this content.

Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Team Progress Report

Submit your first-segment draft and the Team Progress Report to your facilitator as a single document.

Week Three

Writea 1,400- to 2,100-word draft of the second section of your SDLC Final Project.Include the following:

Determination of requirements

Identify specific analysis methods, used to determine user needs.

List of confirmed requirements

Categorize each system requirement identified for last week’sassignment as mandatory or optional.

Proposed system process view

Provide a flowchart of the proposed process.

Functional allocation modeling

Specify how each proposed system function would be allocated in terms of required hardware, software, andhuman-computer interface (HCI).

Logical system model

Provide a high-level logical data flow diagram of the proposed system.

Preliminary design model

Provide a diagram illustrating the overall logical information architecture.

Design trade-off approach

Specify tradeoffs amongcost, schedule, and performance. A fast and inexpensive solutionmay not adequately address performance requirements.

Detailed design process and specifications

Specify separate recommended decisions for software design, hardware, and networks. Include a resolution of HCI considerations.

Physical system model

Illustrate the recommended decisions in matching information architecture diagrams.

Develop slides matching the new content.

Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Team Progress Report.

Submit your second-section draft and the Team Progress Report to your facilitator as a single document.

Week Four

Write a 1,400- to 2,100-word draft of the third section of your SDLC Final Project. Include the following:

Testing process summary

Define a test plan or script identifying major software functionality and hardware to be tested with required outcomes.

Installation process and training plan summary

Provide a timeline identifying specific steps, including training, and related resources required to implement the recommended system. Include a narrative explanation with a discussion of effects of project constraints—such as time, conversion method, and so forth—and a description of the recommended plan.

Documentation plan summary

Specify and explain each type of documentation, which is required for ongoing technical and user support of the proposed system.

Support andmaintenance plan summary
Provide a plan outlining responsibilities and related resources necessary to support and maintain the proposed system, such as software, hardware, and networks.

Develop slides matching the new content.

Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Team Progress Report.

Submit your third-section draft and the Team Progress Report to your facilitator as a single document.

Week Five

Combine all content from each of the drafts created during Week Two through Week Five into a

into a single 4,200- to 5,600-word paper, making any changes noted in prior feedback and format appropriately.

Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that provides an overview of your final project.

Include at least the following elements in the presentation:

Business objectives with supporting measures of project success
Description of current business process or systems with identification of project scope and boundaries
Any project constraints: financial, time, resources, organizational policies, or culture
Business functional requirements
Description of new business process or systems—use the process objectives model and the system objectives model
Design requirements: input/output design, interface design, data model, network model
Cost/benefit analysis
