PHASE OF ABC’S PROJECT. REASON THROUGH THE DEPENDENCIES.
First of all what does CPM stands for and what is it all about. Based on the readings, CPM stands for Critical Path Method Chart, and critical path is simply "the sequence of dependent tasks that together take the most development time" (Cogner, 2008, p. 60). Generally, CPM is a simple technique for analyzing, planning, and scheduling large, complex projects. Thus, to develop the CPM for the design phase of ASBC’s, it must contain the dependent tasks such that completing the process would result in a software product that satisfies the requirements for functions listed in Table 6-6. During design phase, I will describe how the requirements defined during the analysis phase will be implemented. From the list of requirements and/or functions provided in Tables 6-6 and 6-16 and using the sample CPM provided on Figure 6-16, I would develop the CPM for the design phase of ABC's project as below. To estimate the project time in person-month, the team can use the CoCoMo method to find the total person-month time required for the CPM. For this exercise, all the dependencies needed are Customer, Video, Accounting Department, Rental of Video, and Vendor (Cogner, 2008,). If Sam and Mary are assumed to do the project alone, then the work should be allocated among them as follows: Sam: Define rental/return processing relationship. Define how create cust/video in rental works. Define history processing. Define screen contents and process flow processing. Define error messages/abort processing. Define end of day, audit trail, Trans Log.
