Assignment Task:

You are working as a Graduate recruit for BHP Billiton in the Information Technology department. After you have completed your induction, Graham Smith, the Executive Director of Projects asks you to meet with him. 
He states; “as a master’s graduate we expect significantly more from you than the undergraduate recruits. As such, I want you to help one of our Senior Project managers, Neil Moxon, who is very busy on a large software implementation. He is managing the implementation of the consolidation of several accounting packages into a Sap package. Of concern is the addition of the Maintenance Reliability package. This is from a company called MaxiRel Pty Ltd and is called “MaxRel”. It is the best packager available and the maintenance people want to continue to use the 15-year maintenance history. From this, they base all future maintenance planning and costing. 
Your task is to work under the Senior Project Manager, in effect, he is the project sponsor. You will need to export 18 identified fields into a data warehouse and apply a third-party Business Intelligence Reporting package which will allow end-users to self-develop their own reports.

He gives you a list of contacts being: 
• Neil Moxon – Senior Project Manager 
• Sam Habble – IT Architect for the project 
• Sun Wang – Network Security Manager for the project 
• Misty Azzopardi – Lead Business Consultant 
• Chea Zhang – Senior Test Manager

1. You meet with Neil Moxon, who advises this is a simple project however time-critical. Each of the contacts has conducted the preliminary work. Neil wants you to take the available information and develop: 
a. Stakeholder Matrix:
b. A stakeholder Power / Influence graph 
c. a WBS, conduct a meeting with all to agree on the WBS structure, then product 
d. a Gantt Chart in MS Project for all to review.
 
Once agreed this will be adopted for the project. This is the extent of your involvement in this project.
 
Neil gives you a report from each of the above, so you do not have to meet with them. Neil states that you need to produce the MS Project Gantt chart as the company uses the Sap Project System which allows for an MS Project Gantt to be uploaded as primary information to define a decomposed project activity listing to allow for management and reporting.
 
The software development will be in an agile environment.

• Sam Habble – IT Architect for the project:
Design is for a data warehouse to be developed with middleware to extract the data to the warehouse, and Middleware to export from the data warehouse to the BIR package.

MaxRel data is collected from 47 countries and over 2000 sites and is consolidated in a central server in London named “MaxRel_DB1” In essence there are 3 deliverables:
 
1. Create a Data Warehouses: 
a. Create MaxRel data out a warehouse to contain 18 required fields and name as “MaxRel_BIR_DB1” 
b. Create BIR exported data warehouse “MaxRel_BIR_exported” within the larger BIR Consolidated warehouse 

2. Develop extraction Middleware “MaxRel_EXMW1” to extract data from “MaxRel_DB1” 
a. Create a Secure connection routine to operate between “MaxRel_EXMW1” and “MaxRel_DB1” at 12:05 am each day 
b. Schedule routine task of “Extract data and update into “MaxRel_BIR_DB1””  
c. Create Secure disconnection between middleware “MaxRel_EXMW1” and “MaxRel_DB1” at the finish of routine “and/or” if routine stalls for more than 3 minutes 

3. Develop extraction Middleware “MaxRel_EXMW2” to extract data from warehouse “MaxRel_BIR_DB1” to BIR warehouse “MaxRel_BIR_exported” 
a. Create Secure connection routine to operate between “MaxRel_EXMW2”and “MaxRel_BIR_exported” at 12:05 am each day 
b. Schedule routine task of “Extract data and update into “MaxRel_BIR_exported”” 
c. Create Secure disconnection between middleware “MaxRel_EXMW2” and “MaxRel_BIR_” at the finish of routine “and/or” if routine stalls for more than 3 minutes
 
• Sun Wang – Network Security Manager for the project Sun will provide the Non-Functional requirements for Network security protocol of: 

1. Protection: 
a. System configuration requirements 
b. Network configuration requirements 

2. Detection:
a. Config change detection 
b. Network traffic issue detection 

3. Reaction:
a. Issue identification
b. Issue response
c. Safe state return determination

The project will need to take these Non-functional requirements and apply to Functional requirements in the design phase then ensure the requirements are included into the work packages at Software development. In the testing phase, all requirements need to be tested

• Misty Azzopardi – Lead Business Consultant:

Misty has conducted “end-user” workshops and has high-level requirements for “End users”. Once the software development work-packages are defined, then the last level of “end-user” workshops will be conducted.
 
• Chea Zhang – Senior Test Manager:

Chea will provide the Test requirements for: 
1. System Testing 
2. Integration Testing 
3. Unit Testing

This assignment is very much Tutor lead. Your tutor will use the attached case study to develop these artefacts in tutorials. Your role in this assessment is to learn to develop these artefacts from your tutorial teaching 

Using the case study attached, you are to develop:
 
1. A Stakeholder Matrix: 
a. A Stakeholder Map
b. A Stakeholder Matrix
c. A brief comment on the process

2. A stakeholder Power / Influence graph: 
a. Develop a stakeholder Power / Influence graph
b. A brief comment on the process

3. A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using the PMI Software development WBS from the PMBOK in section 5 to: 
a. Project Management - Level 3
b. Requirements Level 4 (Non-Functional and Functional requirements included)
c. Design Level 3 in sections
d. Construction - Level 5 (level 4 is the “Agile” iterations & Level 5 is the Iteration components)
e. Test and Release – Level 4

4. A Gantt Chart for the developed WBS

5. A discussion section on why “Agile” lives in Level 4 of the construction phase.
