CMGT 555 Wk 1 Discussion – Choosing an SDLC Methodology

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Projects are unique by nature, and organizations each have their own specific needs when it comes to managing systems projects. In addition, there is never a superior SDLC methodology, but rather SDLCs that will fit certain projects better than others.

Compare and contrast Agile and waterfall SDLCs. Based on your personal and work experiences, why might an organization opt to choose one SDLC over another? Can an organization make use of both types of SDLCs, and why? Reference a project you have personally worked on (at home or at work) and integrate that experience into your response.

CMGT 555 Wk 2 Discussion – Project Requirements

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Well-defined business requirements are essential building blocks to any system project. If requirements are not written well, the input to design and development phases will be poor. However, well-written requirements will lead to a much better project outcome in relation to stronger designs and system solutions.

What are 2 key attributes to well-written requirements? How do these attributes impact the quality of requirements? How might you assess system requirements based off these attributes?

CMGT 555 Wk 3 Discussion – Analyzing the Quality User Story

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Depending on the type of project and the SDLC applied, system requirements may be developed differently. For example, many current projects use the Agile SDLC, and build requirements based on user-story format. A user story is essentially a use case that describes how a specific user would interact with a system. An example of a user story tied to a customer using an ATM might be, “As a customer of the bank, I need to be able to access my account from an ATM to understand balances across all of my accounts.”

What are the attributes that comprise a quality user story, and why are these attributes necessary? Consider the result of poorly written user stories. Provide an example of what you would consider to be a quality user story. This example can be from experience, from a company you know of, or one that you create.

CMGT 555 Wk 4 Discussion – Driving User Adoption of New and Changed Systems

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Implementing a new system, or modifying an existing one, can create organizational change. This change can impact how employees work, how information technology teams support the business, and even how customers interact with the organization.

Ensuring users adopt new systems or changes to existing systems is critical, as implementing a system no one will use becomes a wasted investment. User adoption should be considered by the business stakeholders no later than during the design phase. Identify 2 to 4 steps or activities a project team can take that will influence user adoption. Explain how these steps or activities will influence user adoption.

CMGT 555 Wk 5 Discussion – Requirements Testing

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

When developing new systems, teams tend to focus on understanding the requirements of the system at the start of the project. Until requirements are known, it’s hard to understand design and development components. Beyond this, testing is an essential part of any systems project, no matter what SDLC is applied.

When do you think a project team should plan for testing? Provide a justification behind your position. Who do you think is the best resource(s) to conduct testing activities, and why?

CMGT 555 Wk 6 Discussion – Technology Trends

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Technology advances rapidly in the current market and can become dated and obsolete quickly. Organizations must keep pace with the evolution of technology to compete and sustain a market advantage.

What are some emerging technology trends that have influenced your personal choice of an SDLC, either in your experience or in something you’ve read? Explain the trend and the influence and effect it had on you. Were there any issues? Would you recommend the same SDLC if you had to do it again?
