Assessment Details:
Marking Information: The Portfolio will be marked out of 100 and will be weighted 10% of the total
unit mark.
The Portfolio is divided in to three parts:
Design Specification Report
Design Proposal Report
Perform Test Plan
Walkthrough
In the first part, produce a report detailing the system requirements specification for Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) in a project (1000‐1200 words). This is a group task where
the members in the team can examine the literature to source relevant information for the
analysis and integration of business processes. The purpose of this assignment is to produce a
proposal for a CPO that outlines the main system requirements for an Information System (IS)
solution in a project.
In the second part, generate a baseline report for a proposed IS system in a project. The report
must contain a business continuity plan, suitable performance metrics and KPIs (1500‐1800
words). The results from the above RSR are analysed and the students can now combine their
effort to create the design for the proposed IS system. The design must include suitable workflows
and swim lanes for business processes, performance metrics, and functional and non‐functional
decomposition of the system components such as availability, security, and infrastructure.
Consideration for different options for the system architecture must be provided. For example, a
cloud solution with service level agreement (SLA).
In the final part, create and execute a test plan for your proposed design (1500‐1800 words).
Students need to test the proposed design, ca
y out a performance test and a business continuity
plan. The design may include a web‐based project management tool, a Portal design for project,
Service catalogue and SLA for cloud solutions. Data for simulation of performance using suitable
metrics and if necessary, data conversion.
Part 1 (15% marks: submission 10% + presentation 5%)
A
ief literature review detailing the ICT requirements for a Project Management
Information System and select an organisation to explore this further.
Conduct a
ief analysis of your chosen organisation’s business processes.
Based on your analysis, propose the design and development of a new web-based project
management tool or a Portal for managing projects in your chosen organisation.
Provide justification for your chosen tool.
