    Initiation and planning (in a nutshell)

    This is the point where a systems analyst begins to play a major role in the systems development process.

    Project Execution

    3rd phase in which the plans created in the prior phases are put into action. Analysis, design, and implementation of SDLC Managing changes to baseline project plan

    Project Execution Steps


    Executing the BPP Monitoring the project progress against the BPP Managing changes to the BPP Managing the project workbook Communicating the project status

    Read through your application Come up with at least 3 things you think are problems that the company/department is facing.

    Baseline Project Plan (BPP)

    Once all of the prior planning activities have been completed, you will be able to begin developing a baseline project plan. This baseline plan reflects the best estimate of the projects task and resource requirements and is used to guide the next project phase analysis. Will probably end up modifying throughout project life.

    BPP

    Contains all the info collected during the Project Initiation and Planning and Analysis Reflects best estimate of projects scope, benefits, costs, risks, and resource requirements Specifies general to detailed project activities for the phases of the SDLC Used by the project selection committee to decide whether the project continues
