Introduction: This report is made in accordance to the project management methodologies and the requirements matrix. The project is related to the management of the project from initialisation to the actual implementation of the project code. The developments in the report are in accordance to the actual implementation. The costing of the project is done as per the relevant data models. The project report relates to the project managers capability to drive the project in accordance to the requirements. The quality control and quality assurance measures are in place and so are the co
ective measures in case of any mishandling of the code. The tools used in the project are licensed tools and provide the best in class performance when related to the professional tools used in MNC’s.
1. Quality Management - An Organisational Perspective:
GoPro Solutions Pvt. Ltd is a global professional services company providing a
oad range of services and solutions to toughest challenges in Strategy, Consulting, Digital, Technology and Operations. GoPro partners with more than three-quarters of the Fortune Global 500 driving innovation to improve the way the world works and lives. GoPro solutions provides services by projects and the clients are based in every continent of the world.
The 2 critical success factors in every organisation are: Quality of performance, Cost
Effectiveness.
Quality of performance: For every organisation, repeat customers are one of the most important business models to be implemented. The goodwill that is created by providing Quality Service is that which cannot be replaced. If the quality of service that GoPro offers is the benchmark in the service sector, there would be a strong loyal customer base which would be attracted to GoPro. In many countries like Israel and Sweden, quality of service is at a higher priority than the other factors such as cost. The Swedish believe in the Trust factor that is built along the process. The KPI for Quality of performance would be the efficiency of the code that is being deployed on the production server. The lesser the number of lines of code which can perform the task, the better is the efficiency of the code. The more robust the code to external variances, the better is the strength of the code.
Cost Effectiveness: The other factor key factor would be value for money. In many economies the value of money would be more valuable would be required more than the quality. The code unless and until it is working is good. The effectiveness of the cost factor would be required in case of bundled project and when the client doesn’t have much disposable income. The KPI for cost effectiveness would be cost per line of code. The lower the development cost, the better the cost effectiveness. The perceived value > price of the service. The lesser the difference the better, but the difference should be maintained positive.
2. Project Definition: A project is a well-defined unique set of activities which have a predefined starting and an ending point. It is undertaken by an individual or an agency in order to accomplish certain objectives within the defined schedule, performance and cost parameters.
The project to be delivered by the organisational is a software which will help my client in clearing out the parcels in the country. The project is known by the name of SmartMail, by the name it suggests that the segregation and the delivery of the parcels are done in a unique and smart way. The scope of the project is the list of Project Objectives, Goals, Sub-Phases, Tasks, Resources, Budget and Schedule of the project.
Project Objectives: To create a software tool which would simplify the sorting and the delivery of the parcel system
Sub-Phases: The project is divided into 4 phases ranging from 1-4.
The phase initiates with team building and competency planning with the knowledge transfer that what has to be done and ends with the code being uploaded on the server.
Tasks: Project Planning, Development, Testing, Deployment
Resources: A minimum count of 15 people would be required in the development phase in which 8 software developers with specialities into Teradata and Data stage would be required. 7 Software testers would be required including manual and automation testing.
Budget: A budget of $20/person/hour would be required for a yea
Schedule: The project would finish off by the end of the 1st year and any new phases, Change requests would be altered in the delivery schedule.
High Level Objectives: The higher level objective from the commitment between the two parties would be future developments that would take place once this assignment is finished, n...
