Risk and Compliance Maintenance

Project Description
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is the prudential regulator
of the Australian financial services industry. It oversees banks, credit unions,
building societies, general insurance and reinsurance companies, life insurance,
friendly societies, and most of the superannuation industry.
Currently, the Risk Management and the Compliance Management teams at
APRA carry out their functions with manual processes. APRA is seeking a tender
to procure Software as a Service (SaaS) to manage its enterprise risks and
compliance obligations, which includes automatic allocation, reminders, workflow
and reporting.
The solution that is to be created is to cover around 100 standard users and
around 4 administrators, this solution needs to be cover the business for not only
just present time but also for the future. More employees will be coming to work
with the business so this does need to be an expandable solution.
At the completion of the project the business will need to have a software
solution set up with a secure database set up to store the information and the
current staff will need to be trained on how to use the software.

Project Objectives
The objective of the project is to deliver an Enterprise Risk Management and
Compliance Management SaaS Application to APRA.
Page 5 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

The system is to be based on APRAs Enterprise Risk Management Framework


(ERMF) and comply with the ISO 31000 standard for risk management and the
Australian Standard on Compliance 3806-2006.
Risk Management
The risk management capabilities of the system will allow user to create update
and modify risk scenarios and mitigations.
Users will be able to review and approve risk scenarios and mitigations
The framework for risk management will include risk rating tables, risk
categories and risk target and tolerance levels.
Compliance Management
The compliance management capabilities of the system will allow for users to
record, update and modify compliance obligations including risk mitigations and
operating procedures.
Users will be able to review and accept obligations and operating procedures.
The system will use automated workflows that will notify users of assignments,
review, approval and reminders.
Reporting
The system will allow users to produce reports for risks and obligations, including
dashboard capabilities like heat maps, matrices and graphs.
Data and Security
The SaaS application will support secure transmission and storage of data and
comply with the Archives Act of 1983.
The SaaS application will support secure transmission and storage of data.
The system will only be accessible via the use of a secure username and
password.
Hardware
To supply the hardware for the server it has been recommended to use a Cloud
Hosting service as opposed to installing hardware. A hosting service has been
chosen since it will allow for scaling application cost based on data usage.
Maintenance
The system will require a maintenance plan for three years starting from time of
user acceptance.
The maintenance will include database backups, bug and error checking,
performance monitoring and compatibility checking.

Project Plan APRA

Time
The time allocated for the project
development has been divided into a
series of sprints, the sprints will last for
a period of 2 weeks.

Cost
The budget for the project has been
developed by determining the cost to
perform a development sprint by the
number of sprints required.
The cost of a sprint is calculated by the
cost of a staff member for the duration
of a sprint.
The maintenance and support budget
has been developed by calculating the
cost of the estimated hours required per
week.
Additional costs will be listed as
procurement items.

The SaaS Application will


provide suitable report
facilities
The SaaS Application will be
installed and running on a
Cloud Server
The Application will provide
secure login and data storage
KAAS will provide a 3 year

Approach
The development process chosen is an agile development process, as we believe
it will deliver the best results to the client in the shortest possible time. The agile
approach focuses on an iterative approach allowing for a flexible adaptable
development process catered to the needs of the project. The agile development
Page 1 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

approach will minimise project risks by allowing for continuous development,


stakeholder feedback and input.
The project development will be conducted in a series of sprints. Each sprint will
last for a period of two weeks and will consist of an analysis, design,
implementation, test and review stage.
The agile approach will focus on delivering a prototype in the early stages that
will be developed into application as the project proceeds. The objective of the
prototype is to deliver the minimum viable product to the client to prevent the
risk of missing scope. Once the prototype has been developed to a stage where
it can fulfil its functions, the development will focus on the user experience,
application performance and prevention of user error.

Development Life Cycle

Justification
The agile development approach has been selected due to its ability to be
flexible and its focus on stakeholder feedback. Using an agile development life
cycle it will be possible for project changes to be implemented at the beginning
of each sprint and the progress can be reviewed as it proceeds. This
development approach will allow to components of the software to be
implemented in stages and planning of the next sprint based on feedback
presented from the previous sprint. By allowing the stakeholders to test a
prototype throughout development lowers the risk of missing project scope and
helps produce a higher quality product to the client.

Start and Finish


The project development has been broken down into a series of six sprints, each
sprint will last for a period of two weeks. This means that the development will
last for a period of twelve weeks in total.
The project start date is determined by the expected date to procure the project
contract, this is dependent on timely feedback to the third submission to the
proposal.
The project has been estimated to start on Monday 3 rd of November and
conclude on Friday 30th of January. These dates have allowed for a week break
between the Christmas and New Year break.

Budget
The budget for the project has been determined by breaking down the project
development into a series of development sprints. The cost of a development
sprint is $8000 the cost has been calculated by determining the cost of four
developers and the overhead of the resources required.
The project will also incur the monthly cost of server hosting and project support
and maintenance.

1.3 Communication Strategy


Team Communication
The team will use several communication methods during the project the main
one being scrum meeting. A team scrum meeting will be performed each
morning to keep the team on track and informed of progress. This is also a handy
time to receive team feedback and progress reports.
The team are issued project tasks through the use of task management software.
The software system allows the project manager to issue a task to a developer
and attach and receive feedback and status updates about the task. The
software allows the project manager to control who is working on what task and
what task need to be completed.

Stakeholder Communication
The main method of communication for the projects stakeholders is via email.
The email system will allow for communication history and tracking of
conversations. There are several documents that have been created to manage
communication events like project changes and issues.
Stakeholders are informed of project progress at the end of each sprint cycle in a
sprint report. The sprint report will provide information about project milestones,
project changes and the progress. As well as a sprint report the project manager
will review the project with the management team from APRA.

Issue Tracking
To track and manage project issues the project manager will use a project issue
log. This log will be used to manage the status of any issues that may occur that
effect the time, cost, quality, scope and resources. Project issues can be
submitted to the project manager directly or via email, a project issue
submission form has been created for the project. The log will be reviewed by the
development team at the beginning and end of each sprint cycle. The project
manager will update the log as issues are discovered or resolved. The project
issues will be distributed to team members and APRA management only in a
sprint report.

Completed choice of technique


Completed Justification
Completed Estimation

4.1 Choice of Technique


In this project, KAAS Solutions will use the agile story point counting technique to
count story points.

4.2 Justification
The Agile story point counting technique was chosen as it was the most
appropriate for the agile approach. The appointed to work on Enterprise Risk
Management and Compliance is fairly new and needs an elastic environment in
order to adjust to the pace of the team as a whole. Agile story point counting will
allow for elasticity.
All Agile requirements will be displayed as user stories with each having a rating of
complexity. Due to the project being large in size, it along with its features should
be estimated for example sprints, risk and time required. This also justifies the
chosen estimation technique. The teams development rate will be updated after
each sprint in order for the estimation to be as accurate as possible.

4.3 Estimation
Metric Definitions

Sprint - The project is to be conducted using Sprints x 6

Effort - the number of the team members (rating of 1 to 5) required to


work on the user story.

Risk - the possibility of something going wrong on any particular user


story (rating of 1 to 5).

Resources - the amount of hardware, software, equipment and money


that is required to work on the project.

Minimising slippage
Minimising delays and sticking to the schedule is a huge focus for this project,
slipping past due dates is something that can hinder the performance of the
entire group which will in turn lead to quality lacking later on during the progress
of the project. We have taken many steps to try make the process of completing
this project easier for everyone that is going to be working on the project, the
risks of the project have been assessed by the group and the organisation of the
schedule and workloads have been set out to try minimise the risks that the
team will face as we work on this project.
For this project to go smoothly the team and the client will need to prepare for
the training time when the new software is being deployed, another issue that
will need to be done is some basic stress testing which may put some delays on
the project if anything is needing to be repaired or redone.
We have created a network diagram and a Gantt chart for this project, the
reasons behind these choices are that we are able to show the data in an easier
to understand format while still being able to show the critical path of the project
so that it is clear to the stakeholders.
In order to show the stakeholders that the project is sticking to schedule and is
keeping up with a certain amount of quality we have opted for a system where
change revision is a task that must be performed at the beginning and the end of
a section during the project. This system is beneficial to the entire project and
also to the stakeholders as it keeps the team updated with the opinions of the
clients or stakeholders. At the beginning of each section we get check over the
feedback of previous projects and attempt to cover the issues that we might
receive back from the stakeholders before we send the section for feedback.
After a section of a project has been completed we take the completed work over
to the stakeholders and gather their opinions, after the opinions of the company
stakeholders have been gathered we are able to edit that section of the project
so that by the end of the project we will not need to spend extra time going back
to old work.

6.1 Change Management


6.1.1 Change Management Approach
There are several key elements involved in the change management strategy for
the project, the project manager from KAAS Solutions will oversee this process.
Each request for change will need to be managed effectively through the proper
means of communication. Change requests will sent directly to the project
manager as a change request form and logged into the change control register.
The change control register is primarily used by the project manager to track and
monitor the status of each change request.
Before a change can be implemented into the project the impacts of the change
must be determined. Implementing the change is discussed with the
Page 30 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

development team members who develop a technical solution. The solution to


the change is then presented to the APRA Change Review Board (CRB) that has
the ability to accept, reject or redesign the proposal. The project manager will
send a change impact report to the CRB at the end of each sprint cycle.
The project manager has several systems in place to manage change and
reconfigure items. The development team are informed of changes and kept up
to date with the current project scope with morning scrum meetings. Task
management software is used by the development team to keep updated with
the latest project information. The development team uses a system of version
control software to maintain the integrity of configuration items and minimise the
impact of implementing project changes.

Change Hierarchy

6.1.2 Change Control Procedure


The following procedure has been developed for a safe integration of each
change request;
1. A change request document is submitted
A change request document must be completed and sent to the project
manager. The project manager will be responsible for overseeing the
change request and monitoring the status of the change. Change Request
Form
2. The change control register is updated by project manager
A change control register will be used throughout the project development
to record and monitor the status and details of each change request. The
project manager will be required to keep the change control register up to
date and ensure that change requests are added. Change control register

Project Plan APRA

3. Change impact is assessed


Each change request will need to be analysed to determine the project
impact, this will be performed mainly by the project manager. The project
manager will consult with the stakeholders effected by the change and
determine the change impact.
4. Proposed specifications are developed
Once the impact is determined the development team will determine the
specifications for the change and produce new design and specification
documents.
5. Approval of change
The change specifications will be sent to APRA Change Review Board
(CRB) and will need to be approved by both the project manager and the
CRB. If the change specification are approved they will be implemented, if
not the will have to option to close or redesign the change request
specifications.
6. Update configuration items
The configurations items for the project need to be updated with new
versions and reissued to the effected stakeholders. These changes will
need to be verified by the project manager before release to ensure all
specifications are met. Configuration item history record
7. Implement changes
The amended configuration items are presented to the team in their
morning scrum meet. The changes are implemented into the project and
development tasks are issued. The development team submit completed
project changes via source code management, the project tasks are
checked for quality by the project manager. If the project task has been
completed successfully the project manager integrates them into the
project and marks it as ready for review.
8. Review Change Implementation
The project items are reviewed and the actual impact of the change will be
compared to the estimated impact of the change by both the CRB and the
project manager. If the change is completed to the specification the
change will be marked as closed or else it will be reissued as a new
version.

6.1.3 Audits and Review


The project manager communicates with the development team at the beginning
of each day in a morning scrum meeting, this is to ensure that the developers
are aware of their tasks and their task requirements. The project manager issues
tasks to each team member with the use to task management software that
sends the team member the required information.
When a team member completes a task he reports to task status via the task
management software to the project manager and uploads the completed
module to the source code repository. When the project manager receives the
task complete update from the developer he checks it against specifications and
validates that it meets requirements. If the module meets requirements the task
will be marked as completed and the module will be integrated into the project. If
there is a variance between the task requirements and the submitted module the
task is reissued or redesigned depending on the developer feedback.
For a project change objective can be marked as completed it must be presented
to the APRA Change Review Board to authorise that the requirements have been
completed. If a project objective has not been completed correctly the CRB can
have the development team review and redesign the variance. Once a project
objective has been authorised by the CRB it can then be marked as complete
and the change request will be closed.

6.2.2 Configuration Management System


The configuration management for the project will be overseen and controlled by
the project manager. The project manager uses several systems to ensure that
the current versions are correct and stakeholders have the correct information.
The project manager will manage the versioning of the configuration items. The
version history of the configuration items are logged in the configuration item
history record, this so the project manager knows which version is current.
For a configuration Item to be authorised for project integration it must be
presented to the APRA Change Review Board (CRB), which has been established
to ensure that the changed components reflect their requirements. It is the
responsibility to ensure that the change is suitable and the impact is required to
meet their requirements.
To manage configuration items and project source code the development team
uses source code management software. The project manager maintains source
code and document repositories that contain all the configuration items for the
project. When a team member completes a component it is uploaded via the
source code management, the project manager reviews the component before it
is merged into the project.
The project manager uses a task management software to send and receive task
information to team members. The task management software is used to track
the status of each task and ensure that the team member is up to date with the
current task information. The project manager also uses scrum meetings with the
development team members to discuss project scope and ensure that the
developers are up to date with the current version.

Item Configuration
The configuration items for the project are configured using semantic versioning,
the versioning system is as follows;
Version Numbers: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
Patch = change single to a single components, bug fixes and
maintenance.
Minor = functionality added, multiple components changed.
Major = redesign, incompatible changes to API.

7.1. Risk Management Strategy


The risk management strategy has been broken into three stages the first being
risk identification, the second being risk classification and the third managing
risks. Each of these stages have several components designed to maximise the
completeness of the risk assessment.
Allowances have been made for risk occurrences that are not identified in the
initial risk analysis. Unidentified risks will be managed as part of a review and
reassessment process.

Page 41 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

7.1.1. Risk Identification


The risk identification process consists of several stages to help and identify all
of the possible risks that will have an impact on the project. To simplify this
process risks will be categorised into related groups based on the areas of the
project they will have the most impact upon. To determine the risks that are
involved in the project four sets of tools will be used being;

Documentation Review Key project documents will be reviewed to


assist with the identification with risks, the main documents of interest in
this process are scope and project objectives, schedule and estimation,
stakeholder plan and communication plan.
Information Gathering The risk information gathering will consist of
four stages the first being a brainstorming session conducted by the
development team. From the brainstorming a survey and set of questions
and an initial set of risks are determined. Using the Delphi technique the
surveys will be distributed and the answers will be reviewed to refine the
identified risks. The Delphi technique will be repeated until all key
stakeholders can agree on risk data. Key project stakeholders that hold
expert knowledge in the development will be interviewed to gather their
information. After all the risks have been determined root cause analysis
Page 42 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

will be performed to determine the cause event to assist determining a


suitable mitigation.
SWOT The SWOT technique is used to determine the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats involved in identified risks. This will
be used to help maintain strengths and iron out weaknesses in the project
development.
Expert Judgement The use of this technique has been suggested since
the project is to develop a risk management system for specialists in the
field as see risk input from ARPA as a valued resource. The project
development team have some familiarity with similar projects and would
be of benefit to the project.

Once a risk has been identified the risk details will be entered into the risk
register and the risk will be analysed and managed accordingly.

7.1.2. Risk Classification


Identified risks will be categorised in accordance with the risk taxonomy. The
likelihood and impact of the risks will be detailed in a risk matrix and the results
will be recorded as part of the risk control register. Each project risk has an
option to perform a quantitative risk analysis but this is only if extra information
is required to assess the risk properly.

Qualitative Risk Analysis


The qualitative risk analysis for the project will consist of using a risk taxonomy
to categorize risks into risk categories. A risk matrix will be used to determine
the likelihood, impact and rating of risks. The urgency of risks will be determined
by the risk rating that is calculated from the likelihood of the occurrence and the
risk impact.
The likelihood, impact of risks have been given a number scale to calculate the
rating. Each scale has been assigned a tolerance level of low, medium and high
based on their number value. Risks that have been determined as having a high
rating will be reviewed more frequently and thoroughly that risks with a low
rating and will be given a higher priority. This information will be stored as a risk
matrix in the risk control register and will be applied to each identified risk. The
risk matrix is colour coded to provide easy identification or risk impacts and
ratings.

If a risk event cannot be assessed properly there is an extra option to seek


expert judgement from both internal and external sources. This will include the
use of both interview and survey techniques to establish risk inputs and outputs.

Quantitative Risk Analysis


There is an option to perform a quantitative risk analysis, but due to the context
and the feature requirements of the project it has not been added as a
requirement for each risk identified. This is due to the project success not
dependant on the project sales or profits. There has also been an assumption
made that information submitted from APRA would provide a reliable source of
information.

Risk Taxonomy
The risk taxonomy describes how the risks will be categorised for the project,
each risk category has been assigned an ID attributed assigned to identified risks
as part of their risk ID number.

Risks associated with project standards and the
work completed and is it being completed to
stakeholder expectations. This also includes risks
involved with the quality of outsourced
information.
Risks involved with communication between all
project stakeholders.
This risk category is used for any staff threats or
opportunities that are involved with managing
teams of staff or contractors used in the project.
These are the risks that are associated with risk
management.
These are the risks that can occur in obtaining
items needed for the project development.
These are the risks that are associated with
integrating the project and having it available for
its intended purpose
This category is for all risks associated with
hardware required for the project.
The software category is to contain risks
associated with computer and mobile software
required for the project. This also includes
development software like SDKs and libraries.
These are the project risks that are associated
with legal requirements of the project.
These are risks associated with privacy and
disclosure of project and stakeholder
information.
These are the risks involved in addressing
security concerns for the project, this category
includes both physical and cyber security threats
and opportunities.

7.1.3. Risk Response


The risk response plan has broken the risks responses into three main categories
that each provide a separate set of strategies for managing each risk event.
Positive Risk Management
Positive risks are the risks that provide a benefit to the project. The strategies for
dealing with positive risks include;

Exploit This strategy will be used for positive impacts to reap the full
benefits of the opportunity, this strategy could include reallocation of
resources to achieve the maximum benefit from the situation.

Page 45 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

Enhance The enhance strategy is used to increase the probability of the


risk event occurring. This strategy involves determining the driving factors
of the risk event and allocating resources to ensure that it occurs.
Share The share risk strategy is applied to risks where the ownership of
the risk can be shared with a third party allowing both parties to reap the
benefits.
Accept The acceptance strategy is applied to take advantage of the risk
occurrence without actively allocating resources to the risk.

Negative Risk Management


Negative risks are the risk occurrences that have a negative effect on the project
objectives. The strategies for dealing with negative risks include;

Avoid The avoidance strategy is used in cases where the impact is high
and the risk should be avoided. This strategy involves managing the
project resources so that the risk event is minimised or prevented from
occurring.
Transfer The risk transfer strategy is used to transfer the ownership of a
risk occurrence to a third party. This is not seen as a desired option as it
does not prevent the risk occurrence and does consume funds to
compensate the new risk owner.
Mitigate This strategy is used by the development team to prevent the
risk from occurring and to lessen the impact of the risk. The risk mitigation
process may involve the review of processes and strategies to prevent risk
occurrences.
Accept This strategy is used when it is not feasible to implement other
strategies or the risk impact is very low. This strategy is used when no
action is taken to prevent or lessen the impact of the risk occurrence. In
most cases where risks are accepted there is contingency resources added
to the project objective.

Contingent Risk Management


Contingent risk strategies are used for certain events that require special
attention or a special response plan. Contingency plans are often implemented
by the result of another risk strategy not being addressed properly or the basic
strategies are not suitable for managing the risk occurrence.

7.1.4. Unidentified Risks


The risk occurrences can have a major impact to the project development and no
possible risk events should be ignored. All impacting risks will need to be
reported to the project manager so the risk can be properly assessed.
Unidentified have been broken into two categories that detail how the events will
be managed so their impact can be assessed.
Page 46 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

Risks that have not impacted the project yet


Newly identified risks will be added to the risk control register and assessed at
the end of each development sprint. This will mean that the risk control register
will need to be reconfigured as per the project configuration plan.

Risks that have impacted the project


If a newly identified risk has already impacted the project, extra steps will be
taken to ensure that the impacts and a management strategy for the risk
occurrence has been determined. The strategy for managing this risk will need to
be integrated as soon as possible and the risk will need to be marked as open.
With the new risk impact new project projections will need to be reconfigured as
per the project configuration plan.

7.2. Risk Monitoring Strategy


Risk monitoring occurs throughout the project, the level of monitoring for risks is
determined by the risk rating. Before a risk can be monitored it needs to be
identified and added to the risk control register so the strategies can be
determined. Once a risk has been identified it can then be assessed and
monitored accordingly.

Risk Assessment
The key element to the project risk assessment is the use of a risk control
register. The role of the risk control register is to record the details of identified
risks and the agreed upon outputs. Once a risk has been identified and
categorized in accordance with the risk taxonomy, the qualitative risk analysis is
performed. The qualitative risk analysis is used to determine the likelihood,
impact and risk rating. Once the risk rating has been established the level of
monitoring for the risk is determined. The risk assessment will also determine if
the data collected for the risk is sufficient, if the risk requires more analysis a
quantitative risk analysis can be performed which will focus on the expert
judgement technique for analysis.

Risk Scheduling
Risk scheduling is dependent on the rating of the risk, risks that have a high
rating will be assessed on a daily basis by the project manager to determine
impacts that may have occurred. Using scrum meetings with the team will allow
for the project manager to keep a close eye on internal risk events as they occur
and issue the appropriate response quickly to the team. Moderately rated risks
will be assessed as each triggering event in the project is performed. All risks will
be assessed at the beginning and reviewed at the end of each development
sprint. Mitigations and contingency plans for risks events will be implemented as

risk events.

Review Scheduling
A risk identification process will be added to each
development sprint. The level of thoroughness of the
process will decrease as the project develops and as
the risk register grows.
This will occur when new risks are added to the
register and as risk inputs and outputs change.
This analysis will only occur when the current
information is not sufficient.
Risks with a high risk rating will be closely monitored
by the project manager or should be appointed to a
risk owner to monitor the situation on a daily basis.
Risks will be reviewed at the end of each sprint
allowing for risk impacts to be managed before the
next sprint begins.
A risk reassessment will occur at the end of each
development sprint, in cases where a high risk
impact has occurred this may occur sooner.

Risk Review
The risk review process occurs at the end of each development sprint. The
review of each risk will include a risk audit, this is the comparison of the
projected inputs and outputs to determine any variances. This is where the
effectiveness of risk management strategies will be determined. The review will
be conducted with the development team, this is an important opportunity to
receive team feedback and strategies about risk events.

Risk Reassessment
A reassessment of the risk control register will be conducted at the end of each
sprint. The reassessment will include the opening and closing of risks, an
assessment of project variances and team brainstorming to identify new risks.

7.3. Risk Control Register


The risks control register is used to monitor and track the status of identified
risks.
Please see the attached Microsoft Excel spread sheet for the complete risk
control register.

Provide a detailed Introduction to the project that gives the team a clean
guide to use when looking at the scope and dates of the project.
Put together a scope that shows the skills that we have learnt while also
being able to identify all of the project requirements and deliverables.
Present a neat WBS Tree and table that is able to show data cleanly.
Complete and up to date timesheets with work allocations on each
submission.
Came up with the most suitable project type to use (eg, Waterfall, Agile.)
Identified the most suitable way to work out a budget for the project.
Determined a cost for the business to keep the solution running over time.
Identify a realistic schedule with work completion times.
Produce charts or a diagram to show the schedule.
Produce an easy to understand format for the change management plan.

8.2 Project Achievements


The Introduction section of the report was written clearly and was set out in a
way where if a team member needed to view the business details it was
available to browse quickly and grab the information that they needed. After the
first submission the Project Description was updated to add some more
information about the project and start and finish dates were amended to add
the real dates in. Tables and charts were used effectively in this section to show
the data in an easier to understand format, instead of looking at walls of text
anyone can go over these sections and browse the content quickly. The scope of
the report has been split into three tables and this format allows us to have
tables that will detail each section of the assignment, each table shows the
description of the tasks and the priority with the rating. The tables are all broken
Page 49 of 73

2001ICT - Project Management Group 2

Project Plan APRA

up into sections so that if a certain section needs to be found it isnt a huge task
to quickly find what is needed and have a look at the task details.
The Work Breakdown Structure was broken up into a Tree and a Table, the Tree
was set out cleanly and included every stage of the project broken into sprints.
Each object included the Task ID with the name of each job that needed to be
completed. The table was set out with four columns that show the Task ID,
description of the task, duration of the task and the Predecessors of the task.
This layout ensures that the tables are easy to understand and include all of the
information that will be required. Each section of the assignment has included a
revision history at the beginning and timesheets have been filled in for section
nine of the reports. Work was allocated to each group member at the beginning
of each section of the assessment and each person has been filling in revision
history as they go along and edit content from that section of the assignment.
We assessed the project upon receiving the assignment and come to the
conclusion that Agile would be the best type to go with, this included the team
breaking down the requirements and attempting to predict the development of
the project. After we had decided that we would use Agile we then discussed the
budget of the project, the budget of the project was something that was hard to
work with in the beginning because the type of project but we broke it down into
sections and looked at the ongoing cost of the technology we wanted to use to
produce a realistic figure for the assignment.
In the schedule we included a Gantt chart and a network diagram, this section
focused on these two charts because of the amount of detail that goes into
them. Zyion created the Gantt chart in Project Libre and included every task that
needed to be complete. The Change Management Plan was created by Zyion and
included a lot of detail, the procedure of handling the changes was broken down
into eight step and then placed into a flow chart. Another section of this task was
handling audits and reviews by the client, Zyion broke this section up into a
couple of paragraphs explaining what would happen in morning meetings and
reviews then placed the planned information into another detailed flowchart.

For each task we set individual due dates that we would focus to have that
section completed by, the majority of that work was completed either on
or before that date. Some jobs slipped behind and were completed after
the date. Most deadlines were met but some tasks had to be reviewed
later on after their due dates to add more detail, we believe the group met
our deadlines to the best of our ability because we were able to
communicate with each other easily and discuss the contents of each
section in depth. The main reason we set early due dates for separate
tasks is so that we were able to get an early go at the work before the due
date of each workbook audit, this makes sure that by the time it comes to
handing work in everything was done and all we needed to do was review
the report contents.

8.4 Review of Techniques


A number of techniques were used to improve both quality and efficiency,
some being more effective than others. The team made use of a "Google
Doc" to initiate the assignment. This was good initially however is
became troublesome after some time. We found that splitting the sections
between members allowed us to complete each section thoroughly as the
person working on it had full knowledge about what they had done in that
section and what still needs to be done. The completed sections would be
emailed to the Project Manager who would then add the section to the
report and update the file online. Facebook was used to communicate with
the team as well as a place to store all current and past versions of the
Workbook. We discovered that communicating via Facebook as well as
using it as a file exchange site worked much better than Google Docs for
this particular Workbook. The Facebook page contained phone numbers,
emails and also served as a team Q&A form. Most of the sections were
completed using the templates however additional research was
performed in order to ensure a good standard.

8.5 Lessons Learned


The workbook has showed the team how important it is to communicate
as often as possible. Overall progress was at its best while having a
constant line of communication. One of the biggest mistakes made during
this particular workbook would be little or no communication for the first
week after the first submission. The team also needed time to get to know
each other. It is hard to jump into a project with a group while not having a
clear understanding about the different strengths in each individual group
member. This however improved naturally over time as the team became
more engaged in discussions. We have noticed that individual team

members do not always notice all mistakes due to the fact that they are
seeing it all the time. We found that it helps to read over a team members
work to ensure that there are no additional errors. This works simply
because the second person to read it sees it for the first time and finds it
easier to spot errors. We have also divided the work differently. At the
start all team members worked on the same task to try and complete it as
fast as possible. We soon discovered that it was an ineffective method and
started to assign sections to each member. By doing this, each member
completed their section thoroughly and little changes were needed in
order to merge sections. This along with regular team meetings and
ongoing communication allowed the team to comfortably reach the final
product on time.

Status Summary Conclusion


Project During Third phase ran smoothly and successfully. All areas have been
completed on track, without any need for one particular area to be completed
before other, team was able to move on with work where they saw fit, updating
as they went. Set back in this section was during later stages, when team no
longer used the Google Document. Google Document did not allow for adequate
formatting, a single word document did. Subsequently the project manager had
to continue to be given electronic updates by the team, was then required to find
and implement them into final formatted work. This process over group online
and in person means became a minor trouble but still easy over it counterpart
option Google Documents. The report was finalised and ready for submission on
the required date. All team members where adequately informed of submission
and satisfied in having this action fulfilled.
