Solution Assessment and Implementation<br />
Details:<br />
Introduction<br />
In order to achieve goals and planned results within a defined schedule and a budget, organizations initiate a project.<br />
Regardless of which industry sector the organization operates within, there are several methodologies to guide the<br />
processes at every stage of a project from initiation to implementation to project closure.<br />
A methodology is a model, which project managers employ for the design, planning, implementation, and achievement<br />
of project objectives. There are different project management methodologies to benefit different projects.<br />
Milestone 2 – Solution Assessment<br />
In a 5-8 page paper using APA format, please describe the following:<br />
1. Introduction – Briefly describe the business problem you are evaluating to provide context for your paper.<br />
2. Solution Alternatives – Explain why it is import to evaluate several options along important dimensions such as risk,<br />
cost, and acceptability to key stakeholders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Identify and describe the alternative solutions (minimum 2) that you developed to improve the business<br />
process and assess the alternatives using a technique from BABOK.<br />
Conduct a solution assessment using a technique from the BABOK and recommend one solution<br />
i.Techniques are listed in section 7.1.5 and chapter 9 of the BABOK<br />
Insert the table, matrix, or chart of the solution assessment in this section.<br />
Recommend the one alternative that fulfills the business need and offers the most value to the organization.<br />
Provide the rationale for your recommendation of the proposed solution<br />
3. Process Flowchart – Explain the differences between the steps in the as-is (current) process flowchart and the to-be<br />
(future) process flowchart. Which steps are different and why did they change?<br />
<br />
<br />
Create a flowchartof the to-be / futurebusiness process using MicrosoftVisio and insert the figure in this<br />
section.<br />
If you do not have Visio installed on your computer, you can access this application via the iLab tab in the<br />
Course Home unit.<br />
4. Methodology – Explain how you will manage the implementation tasks. Select a project management methodology<br />
to manage the implementation tasks from the list below:
Waterfall – In this model, the project lifecycle has fixed phases and linear timelines.<br />
Spiral – Spiral methodology is the extended waterfall model with prototyping. The spiral method is good for<br />
projects which require formal specification, but for which the specifications cannot be fully defined in advance.<br />
Agile – This model is characterized by short delivery cycles (sprints),agile requirements, dynamic team culture,<br />
less restrictive project control and emphasis on real-time communication.<br />
Scrum – This is an agile methodology. The main goal of this methodology is to improve team productivity<br />
dramatically by reducing the impact of potential barriers.<br />
5. Project Management – Explain how you will implement the solution.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Define how long it will take to implement the changes and which resources will be required to support the<br />
implementation effort.<br />
Create a project timeline for implementing the recommended solution.<br />
Insert the table or matrix of the project timeline in this section.<br />
6. Conclusion – Do not simply reiterate your results or the discussion points.<br />
<br />
<br />
Explain the significance of your solution assessment activity and define the value your recommendation will<br />
provide to the organization.<br />
Explain the next steps for validating the solution to lead into the final paper.
