Case Studies
Suppose you are project manager of a large software development project that is estimated to
require 10 developers/support staff over a 2-year period to complete. A reasonably detailed
requirements specification has already been produced in close collaboration with the end-user
(no other documentation exists). Experts have agreed that the project should be technically
feasible, but there is no possibility of getting any resources beyond 10 staff over two years.
Question:
1. Assuming that you have to produce a project plan in the first month, what would you
include in it?
2. What other activities and/or decisions would you make in the first month?
3 What other activities would you carry out during the rest of project to ensure you are on
track?
Note: If the information is not directly available, make and educated assumption and
justify your assumption. Moreover write your answers briefly in points in each case
instead of writing long stories.
