cs 4447 systems analysis and design 2

Mini Case:

At Bayside Financial, where you work as a project manager, you have been asked to conduct user training sessions for a new information system. You must develop a specific schedule for the tasks (the estimated task duration for each is shown in parentheses):

  • First, confirm arrangements for the training facility you plan to use (3 days).
  • After you have confirmed the training facility, two tasks can begin at the same time: you need to send an e-mail message to all department managers announcing the training sessions (1 day) and you can develop the training material (5 days).
  • As soon as the training material is complete, you can work on two tasks at once: arrange to have copies of handout material printed (2 days) and develop a set of PowerPoint slides (5 days).
  • When the PowerPoint slides are ready, you conduct a practice training session with the instructor who will assist you (2 days).
  • Finally, when the practice session is over and the handout material is ready, you can conduct the user training sessions (4 days).
