  1. Foundation Degree IT Project Milestone 2: Design and Project Planning

  2. Design specification • Map the logical models and produce a design specification • The design specification will be different for everyone but should reflect your project and the project area • Refer to your functional and non-functional requirements • This is basically the blueprint for implementing your system/solution and how to do it • Design techniques are used as part of this process Richard Hancock

  3. Design techniques • Look at your methodology to see what advice it gives you about design techniques • Dependent upon the project • Could be: • Algorithms • State transition diagrams • Data dictionaries • Query design • Storyboards • Interface designs • Hierarchical sitemaps • Network diagrams • Floor plans/layout • Flow charts Richard Hancock

  4. Project planning • Production of some sort of project plan • Can be done using: • Microsoft Project • Open Workbench • Excel spreadsheet • Be realistic with your time planning! • You will need to revise your original project plan (baseline) as the project develops therefore you should end up with several plans over the course of the project • You will refer to your time plans in the evaluation (Milestone 3) in order to reflect upon your time management skills Richard Hancock

  5. Project log book • Use the project log book to summarise your email communication/progress/issues etc and include in the report for the submission *** Richard Hancock

  6. Summary • Design specification • The blueprints from which a solution/system can be consistently developed • Project design techniques will vary considerably • The techniques are dependent upon what your project is about • If you gave your design to someone else, could they implement it? • Project planning • Make use of Gantt charts • Keep them up to date with changes to your plans • You should end up with a series of them as the project matures over time Richard Hancock

  7. Questions... • ...are there any? Richard Hancock
