Project Management Of IT Projects

Project Management Of IT Projects Although computer systems have been employed since the 1970s in significant applications military, civil, government, finance, business and so on, unlike any other engineering discipline the success rate of ICT projects remains unacceptably low. Describe and discuss why ICT projects fail and what measures can be taken to improve the chance of success. ICT Project is the development and forward of an ICT system where as an ICT system is a combination of computer hardware, software, input and output, activity data or information and the personal that have to use it. ICT Projects can bring changes and improve organizational activities. Business and processes can become more effective and efficient by the use of information and communication technology (ICT) systems as in case with engineering discipline but unfortunately successful applicants in other field like military, civil, government is still questionable even they are employed there since very long. Performance evaluation of the project can also direct the determination of victory or malfunction of an ICT project. Also such evaluations cannot be justified as good or bad without the successful execution of such project. The core value of any of the ICT projects can be accomplished to figure out its capability to support the organization in finding right result to its troubles. The adaptability of ICT system and its overheads can only be logical if there are benefits accruing to it. Few of the benefits can be listed as below: Escalating capacity of system Efficient access to data Improved efficiency and outputs Transparency Simplicity Lessening of Cost Quality Service Enhanced and effective decision making FAILURE OF ICT PROJECTS: Regardless of the successful stories of ICT projects around the world, studies have proved high speed of ICT Project failure. These failure can be either project stakeholder expectations or correspondence failure where the project failed to meet the specified objectives such as enhancing efficiency, upgrading in resource utilization, superior output etc. It can be process failure which refers to plan overruns, resources blowouts and it may be interaction failure where new system may be or was used shortly and then terminate or occasionally used or not used at all. Although benefits of ICT cannot be disputed but there are several issues and points about its achievements as well as the approach in its implementation. Triumph of any project can be evaluated or measured on different factors but success of information and communication technology (ICT) project depends upon timely completion within budget, trustworthiness (bug-free), user friendliness, easy inexpensive alteration and maint enance in addition that it must meet specifications, goals and satisfaction of users. In order to understand the extent of ICT failure, we need to categorized failures related to information systems which can be technical breakdown, project collapse, organizational crash, environmental breakdown, developmental stoppage and user disappointment ICT failure can be categorized depending upon the degree of its achievement or usage. It can be total failure where initially the ICT was never implemented or in which a new system was put into action but immediately discarded. It can be considered as partial failure as major goals are unattained or in which there are major unwanted results. There is another class of sustainability failure where an initial implementation was first succeeded but is then neglected after a year or so. REASONS FOR FAILURE OF ICT PROJECTS: The failure factors which prevent smooth execution of ICT projects can either be Infrastructure, finance, poor data system, lack of compatibility, skilled personnel, leadership styles, culture, bureaucracy and attitudes There are certain factors which may not prevent the execution or implementation of projects and can the hinder system advancement and its sustainability. Among them are User needs, Technology, Coordination, ICT policy, and Donor pressure. There can be a number of reasons, which require a detailed and careful review to fully identify. ICT projects are often too ambitious and too complex because of the combination of the political, organizational and technical factors lacking top management prop up, insufficient resources of project, lack of user input, poor project management, design problems, scarce training, unsuitable technologies, and many more including incomplete requirements, changing requirements, technology Incompetence, unrealistic expectation. Therefore Projects run into problems, they get far more expensive than budgeted, need more time than planned or do not deliver the intended results. Unfortunately, project failures can also be related to lack of post-mortem probes across all sectors (private and public). Organizations are neither interested to achieve organizational erudition for themselves nor are they allocate their difficult experiences with others. Vision without substance and a budget without vision are two sorts of planning. Problems encountered encase of vision without substance are ambiguity of future vision, lack of organizational vision, current position and time. Budget without vision arises questions as to what problem is being solved, priorities and definition of the roles and responsibilities. Poor Project planning in organizations are due to lack of risk management, business systems are not utilized and understood completely and also lack of concern involvement from management. MEASURES FOR THE SUCCESS OF ICT PROJECT: Success or failure of any ICT project can be measured by identifying institution where we they are now and where the new project is taking them. Success factors are those whose presence or absence establish the success of an ICT project. They can be drivers or enabler. Some of these are vision and strategy, stakeholders support, external pressure and cooperation, consumer expectations, technological alteration, upgrading, and globalization in addition to efficient project coordination and good practices. Degree of change is proportionally related to risk of project success. Bigger change might produces bigger organizational improvement at the cost of big risk of project disaster whereas small change might promise less degree of change at the price of less project risk. Thus we can say that there is a trade-off between threat and transformation. ICT projects can be designed according to models of engineering and managerial concepts. Drafting of complex technical systems in much more perplex social surroundings through development of local knowledge base systems can lead to avoid failures. Review by local sections and organizations to determine the extent of ICT failures can also be very useful and productive approach. These experts can make conclusive and detailed analysis and they can point out flaws and make recommendation for the improvement of ICT projects. Reports and lesson learnt should be available to other practitioners in other organizations for betterment of their projects. Division of the project in smaller groups and controlling subsidiary projects is better approach as changes during the project are sometimes or often unavoidable and difficult to manage. Information systems qualities which are achieved via efficient ICT projects affect the perceived benefits. An ICT project implementation can be considered successful if the perceived benefits are determined and understood. ICT services quality can be reviewed after vigilant assessment of the infrastructure to establish technical functionality. For instance with reference to networking different departments, the point to check is whether it may be has been achieved successfully or not. This in turn will involve a technical and user assessment of the efficient communication systems. Generation of information can be assessed to determine efficiency of Information system quality for budgeting purposes, the question might be whether the information system can generate exact and timely financial information and data or not. Perceived benefits are the end products that can be used to judge the success of the whole system. If the perceived benefits like easier communication, networking, and system integration, timely, relevant, complete and useful information are not realized, then the system will be perceived to have failed. Attributes of each component are shown for clarity and focus. A familiar maxim says, if you cannot plan it, you do not do it. Another maxim says, I never planned to fail, I just failed to plan. Project planning begins as soon as project planning activities determine the organizations strategy and identifies the ICT projects. Under the few limitations, project plans evolve with the lifecycle. These limitations are time and money so each project should have a define deadline and a tight budget. Planning as a tool can be helpful in minimizing waste by classifying the pre-requites conditions for successful ICT implementation rather than rushing into a complex strategy. ICT needs careful planning, communication and coordination prior to implementation instead wise trial and error methods. Clarify goals, targets and objectives shall be established. These goals may form major role in planning process and ultimately help in the successful implementation of ICT projects. ANALYSIS Improvement in the ability of those involved in the design, execution and management of IT related projects shall be enhanced to solve and tackle specific contextual attributes of the institute, division, country or location where such ICT projects will be implemented. Strategy and support are the core areas which lead to success of any ICT project and at the same time finance and lack of fund in addition to weak infrastructure leads to failure of such projects. Maximum benefits and output of ICT implementation can be achieved if there are no failure factors but its not possible but framework can be developed for the maximum output. This framework must cover and identify themes, prioritize activities develop program of action, categorize target groups and in the final stage implement solutions ICT projects must be streamlined and established while focusing following approaches. Never underestimate complex environment where ICT program evolves. Get maximum output and benefits for the target group Staff shall be re-skilled to cop up with changes Identification and utilization of new technologies How institute processes will fit in technology Strong and supportive program management Dont underestimate the total cost of ICT project. Part B COMP1592 Organisation and Project Management Tutorial for Week 1.5 Introduction to ICT Project Management Upload your answers in Week 1.6 List the problems you experienced when you carried out a recent assignment. Try to put these problems into some order of magnitude. For each problem consider whether there was some way in which the problem could have been reduced by better organisation and planning by you. Risk management Team management Team collaboration Schedule Project plan was impractical Identify the main types of personnel employed in an ICT department. For each stage of a typical ICT development project, list the types of personnel who are likely to be involved. Business Analyst (who gathers requirements from client) System Analyst (based on the requirements, design the software) Solution Architect (application is designed on the basis of technical specification) Software Developers (who develops the software) Database developers (design and maintaining of DB) Quality Team (who tests the developed software) Configuration manager A public library is considering the implementation of a computer-based system to help administer book loans at libraries. Identify the stakeholders in such a project. What might be the objectives of such a project and how might the success of the project be measured in practical terms? Stakeholders Following are the stakeholders for computer based library system: Librarian Library Staff Administrator/ Technical Board Book Suppliers/ Volunteers Partner Universities Friends of the Library (Providing funds and assistance to Library) Educators/ Trainers (train the usage of the system) Software House or company developing the computer based system Library Users (those who lend the books) Objectives Cataloguing (classification and indexing books) Compilation of books and the stuff Control of books circulation Track users Efficiently confirm the availability of books Automate the library loan system and make it computer based System will be fully authenticated as it will be solely based on computer Issue and return dates will be catered by the system which will ensure that no preference is given to any public user in case of late return. Automation and authentication will be achieved. Record of all the books will be managed and kept up to date Success of the project: Success of the project will be measured on the following parameters: Productive system usage System efficiency Gradual rise in users will predict the success Ease and comfort for public Reduction of staff Confidence of stakeholders on the system Authentication and automation is an important factor Authentication i.e. more authenticated the system is more will be its progress 4. A software house has developed a customised order processing system for a client. You are an employee of the software house that has been asked to organize a training course for the end-users of the system. At present, a user handbook has been produced, but no specific training material. A plan is now needed for the project which will set up the delivery of the training courses. The project can be assumed to have been completed when the first training course starts. Among the things that will need to be considered are the following: Training materials will need to be designed and created; A timetable will need to be drafted and agreed; Date(s) for the course will need to be arranged; The people attending the course will need to be identified and notified; Rooms and computer facilities for the course will need to be provided for. A. Identify the main stakeholders for this project; Software House Software developers Trainers End users/ Client Customers of client (must not be an end user) B. Draw up a statement of the objectives for this project; Evaluation, planning and business handling in an efficient manner. Identify and develop connections between sales, planning and purchasing (by using tools such as flow charts and activity diagrams) Create business to business environment by creating link with customers. Encourage staff input to identify problems and solutions. Handling customers feedback. C. for the objectives, identify the measures of effectiveness; Evaluation, planning and business handling: efficient report generation and boost the business. Identify and develop connections between sales, planning and purchasing: by comparison with previous records Create business to business environment by creating link with customers: gradual rise of customers Encourage staff input to identify problems and solutions: system improvement and staff satisfaction. Handling customers feedback: customers satisfaction D. For each objective, identify relevant sub-objectives or goals and who would be responsible for each of them Evaluation, planning and business handling: company management is the goal and sales team is responsible. Identify and develop connections between sales, planning and purchasing: sales team is responsible Create business to business environment by creating link with customers: sales team is responsible. Encourage staff input to identify problems and solutions: Human Resource department is responsible. Handling customers feedback: Quality assurance department is responsible. Organisation and Project Management Tutorial for Week 1.6 Introduction to Database Design Upload your answers in Week 1.7 A company providing photo storage on the web needs a database to support the website. Visitors to the site can register by providing personal details including their email address, username and password. Once registered the user can create photograph albums into which they can upload their photographs (stored as files on the company server) along with a suitable caption and description. Users can add as many tags as they need to each one of their albums and their photos in order to classify them and enable meaningful searches. Design a database schema that fulfils these requirements. visitor username password Email address Photograph album Album ID name caption description tags photograph photographID name tags Username is foreign key in photograph album and albumID is foreign key in photograph Convert your logical schema from question 1 into a physical schema identifying each attribute data type. visitor Username Password Email address Photograph album albumID Name Caption Description Tags Photograph photographID Name tags A visitor has multiple photo albums i.e. 1-n relationship between visitor and photo album A photo album has multiple photographs in it i.e. 1-n relationship between photo album and photograph Write SQL statements which will implement the physical schema you created in question 2. Create some INSERT statements which will populate your tables with example data. INSERT INTO `photograph` (`photographID`, `caption`, `tags`) VALUES (photo1, caption1, tag1), (photo2, caption2, tag2); INSERT INTO `photographalbum` (`albumID`, `name`, `caption`, `description`, `tags`) VALUES (album1, name1, caption1, description1, tag1), (album2, name2, caption2, description2, tag2); INSERT INTO `visitor` (`username`, `password`, `emailAddress`) VALUES (visitor1, 12345, [emailprotected]), (visitor2, 12345, [emailprotected]); Using either the MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server database servers provided by the school implement your database using the SQL statements you created in question 3.

COMP1592 Organisation and Project Management Tutorial for Week 1.7 Critical Thinking Upload your answers in Week 1.8 For each of the following questions you must explain your strategy and approach to answering the question. Simply providing an answer is not sufficient. 1. In these designs there is a particular shape and a particular colour such that any of the designs which has one, and only one, of these features is called a PHOG. If the Blue Diamond is a PHOG, could any of these other designs be a PHOG? Answer: Since Blue Diamond is a PHOG, it means that the particular shape is Diamond or the particular colour is Blue. Based on this observation, we can say that Red Diamond (because it has the shape but not colour) or Blue Circle (because it has the colour but not shape) are PHOGs. 2. Which of the hidden parts of these cards do you NEED to see in order to answer the following question decisively? For these cards is it true that if there is a circle on the left there is a circle on the right? If above is ordering of respective cards, we should check Card-A and Card-D. For Card-A, if there is a circle on the right side and for Card-D, there is no circle on the left side, we can conclude that: If there is a circle on the left there is a circle on the right. It is useless to check Card-B, because even if there is a circle or not, it shall not affect the conclusion drawn. Similarly for Card-C, if there is a circle on left side, our conclusion shall be justified. And if there is no circle on the left side, it shall not affect the conclusion. 3. There is a truth teller (always tells the truth), a liar (always lies), and one who sometimes answers truthfully and sometimes lies. Each person knows who is who. You may ask three yes or no questions to determine who is who. Each time you ask a question, it must only be directed to one of the people. You may ask the same question more than once, but of course it will count towards your total. What are your questions and to whom will you ask them? Answer: Let us call them TT, AL and TL to symbolize. All of them shall say NO if they are asked if they are a Liar so: Ask TT: If I ask AL if he is a Liar, what would his answer be? If he says YES, TT is a Liar. If he says NO TT, is a Truth Teller. Then ask AL: If I ask TL if he is a Liar, what would his answer be? If he says YES, AL is a Liar. If he says NO, AL is a Truth Teller. And then ask TL: If I asked TT if he is a Liar, what would his answer be? If he says YES, TL is a Liar. If he says NO, TL is a Truth Teller 4. Three boxes are all labeled incorrectly, and you must get the labels right. The labels on the boxes read as follows: [Box 1] buttons [Box 2] coins [Box 3] coins and buttons To gain the information you need to move the labels to the correct boxes, you may remove a single item from one of the boxes. You may not look into the boxes, nor pick them up and shake them, etc. Answer: Since all labels are marked incorrectly, we know that the Box 3 marked with [Coins or Buttons] has any one of the two items and not both. Remove the label from this Box 3, pick one item from this Box 3 (it must be a coin or a button), remove the respective label (depending upon the item obtained) from other two boxes (Bow 1 or Box 2) and put it on this Box 3. Now we have Box 3 that has the right label on it. Now there is one Box without a label and the other Box with incorrect label. Remove the incorrect label because it is on the box that must be having both [Coins and Buttons]. Put this label on the other Box and [Coins or Button] label on this box. In this way we have done the right labeling.

Sky bus airlines

Sky coach Airlines and Ryan air hoses were the both low cost air hoses and besides both companies were the rivals to each others. Both companies had struggled much to vie each other. The scheme of the both of the companies was about same to offer the low menu to the clients but due to the different installations and services the out semen of the both companies was wholly different. Basically low cost scheme is considered as a good arm into the market to vie the rival. So we must cognize about the low monetary value scheme that what is it where does it of import till what extent it should utilize. We can better understand it with following. â€Å" A low scheme in which a company offers the low monetary value to carry through the demands of the economic system and besides to acquire the high market portion into the market any company can utilize this scheme where the merchandise has no advantage of competition If we see with the point of these air hoses so this consist ofA individual rider categorySame type of aircraftPoint-to -Point FlightsFlying to Secondary and Regional Airports due to less congestionFree services for catering and other complimentary services is been eliminatedWhile we make analysis of the recent scheme be aftering history we should cognize about the company ‘s debut foremostCritical analysis of Ryan Air and Sky coachIntroductionRyan Air was the first no frills air hose in whole Europe. This air hose was setup by the ryan household headed by TONY RYAN in 1985 with the lowest portion capital we cant believe that the in first when ryan air takes a start the portion capital of this air hose Washington merely & amp ; lb ; 1 at that clip there was merely 25 staff members it lanuch its first fligth in the which is 15 seater aircraft. After wards ryan air started there manner to success by set uping the first flight from Dublin to london luton in merely & amp ; lb ; 99 which the lowesr menu at that clip it was the half monetary value of the ticket comparing the other line. if we have a expression upon the twelvemonth 2006 the air hose reecord the half twelvemonth porfit of ˆ329m for the first half of financial twelvemonth 2007. The unit cost of the air hose addition by 7.5 per centum. The air hose was incresed by the 9 per centum as entire grosss which Is arise by 33 per centum to ˆ1.256bn. If we have a expression upon the twelvemonth 2006 the air hose reecord the half twelvemonth porfit of ˆ329m for the first half of financial twelvemonth 2007. Ryan air in 2008. Ryan Air has introduced 950 plus low menu paths across 26 states, linking 150 finishs. Ryan air is the World ‘s favorite air hose which operates a fleet of 210 new Boeing 737-800 aircraft with steadfast orders for a farther 102 new aircraft ( before taking history of planned disposals ) , which will be delivered over before the terminal of 2010. There are more than 7,000 people employed and Ryan air expects to transport about 66 million riders in the current financial twelvem onth In 2009 its recorded that Ryan air had carried 65 million riders to different finishs of the universe it increase the growing by transporting the 5 million riders and so 12 % more so it in December 2009Ryan air ‘s Stephen McNamara said:â€Å" Ryan air ‘s guaranteed lowest menus and no fuel surcharges and our figure one on clip public presentation, fewest lost bags and least off flights continue to pull more and more riders every twelvemonth. We are delighted that over 65 million riders travelled with Ryan air in 2009 and we are confident that even more riders will choose for our guaranteed lowest menus in 2010. hypertext transfer protocol: //www.easier.com/64302-ryanair-reports-13-growth-in-2009.htmlLashkar-e-taibas concentrate on some points of Ryan airOBJECTIVES AND VISION Of Ryan AirCustomer servicesTo acquire the higher market portionTo be a cheapest and profitable air hoseCost decreaseGenerate more grossCheap MenusRyan air is a low menus air hose. The system of seats is like 70 % of seats are sold at the lowest two fares.30 % of seats are charged at higher menus. The last 6 % are sold at the highest menu. They provide no nutrient on board rider can purchase or can take nutrient with him self. Air line offers Dublin to London with menus runing from & A ; lb ; 18 to Euro & A ; lb ; 152Cost DecreaseRyan air have non any bureau to sold the ticket via them it sold their tickets via web site instead so to pay any committee to the agents it create the direct nexus with the client. This reduces the cost of the ticket. You can book the ticket online though Internet. This saves them 15 % on bure au committee. They use secondary airdromes to set down because its is cheaper to wing from a secondary airdrome like Stan stead instead so the Heathrow and these sort of secondary air ports are non normally busy so the air trade can be move easy The finish airdrome of Ryan air are secondary so it cut down the menu every bit good.AdsThey spend non much on advertizements. They use simple manner that tell riders that Ryan air has low menus. The aircrafts are decorated with advertizers e.g. News of the World, Jaguar and Kilkenny. There is no cheque in for the air hose on airdromes. You merely demo your passport and give your mention figure.EmployeesThey recruited the pilots when they are immature as pilot plebes. Cabin crew wage when they want their uniforms to be cleaned. They invest in their ain preparation.Excess menus on boardYou can non hold a preferable place. The regulation is foremost come, foremost served. There are no air bridges or tunnel which connects your manner to aircraf t you have to walk or are use coach to the aircraft. Your Baggage is sent straight to the terminus it ‘s speedy. However if your bag is lost or broken into do n't anticipate high degrees of client service.Increasing grossReducing the cost was the chief scheme for Ryan air. To bring forth the gross was the basic focal point sky coach aircraft has the installation of gift store, nutrient store selling all sort of nutrients and gifts like aromas tickers vesture and toilet articless The outside of the aircraft and cabin is full of advertizements like on operating expense bins, rugs, tray tabular arraies. Low cost menus and sky coach advertizementSky BusThe company was established in 2003 and is based in Columbus. On April 5, 2008, Sky coach Airlines it is known as the extremist low cost air hoses after the Ryan air. The planning of Sky coach was to offer cheapest menus in USA which will be 25 % cheaper so south west. The aircraft is designed with the advertizement on it all around on the inside. The air hose offers $ 10 on every flight on this point the CEO of Sky coach said that the flight will offer 10 seats at least $ 10 on every flight Sky coach applied for operating blessing on January 1, 2005, received blessing to run on March 15, 2006, and FAA enfranchisement on May 10, 2007. It had been granted a release to get down ticket gross revenues on April 24, 2007, Sky coach ‘ first rider flights out of Columbus began on May 22, 2007. Less than a twelvemont h subsequently, Sky coach announced on April 4, 2008, that it would discontinue operations as of April 5, mentioning the lagging economic system and lifting fuel costs as causes. Not cited: operational issues doing the air hose to run late flights about 50 % of its short history, low employee morale and rapid enlargement non envisioned in the original concern programMenusThe get downing menus of the all mark finishs began at $ 10 one manner. Airline advertise Al around that 10 seats merely for $ 10. the tickets of the sky coach air hose was the on the half monetary value so the other air hoses. In a 10 dollar one manner ticket the revenue enhancements and other airdrome fees in non included. If we include all of the revenue enhancements and other airdrome fees so a grownup ticket have a cost about $ 40 on manner. So it was the really inexpensive menu to go aroundExcess feesSky bus charge excess fees for any other excess installation other so the ticket this thing is about common in the other cheaper air hoses. A rider can take merely one bag and one personal point in board if he want to transport any excess luggage so he have to pay like if rider want to transport two bags under 50 lbs so he have to pay $ 12 at the counter on the airdrome. If the rider want to transport more extra luggage after two bags so he have to pay $ 50 for each bag. About the over weighting if the weight is over 50 lbs so he have to pay $ 25 but if the weight of the bag exceed 70 lbs so that bag was non acceptableCost decreaseSky coach scheme was to cut down the cost of care so for this the equipments purchased was unvarying which include the engine, electrical parts, and the forces gear. The other scheme of the air hose was to utilize secondary airdromes which are largely non to occupy so it is easy to turn the aircraft and less to rent infinite there is non any tunnel connecting to the aircraft so it cut down the cost on the airdrome the tickets are to be bought online instead so thro ugh any agent it cut down the coursers like committee.Employee rewardsSky coach wage the rewards to the employee with this scheme the attenders were paid $ 9 per flight hr.
