UOP CMGT410 Week 2 Assignment Documenting the Project Life Cycle

CMGT410 Project Planning and Implementation

Week 2 Assignment

Documenting the Project Life Cycle

Includes Option #1

Includes Option #2

Includes Option #3

Well-written project documentation clarifies intent, documents decisions and results, and allows project managers to assess project progress (and report it, as necessary, to project stakeholders) at every step of the project lifecycle.

For this assignment, you will create two examples of project documentation that align with the Project Plan Draft assignment you completed in Week 1. The documentation you will create for this assignment aligns with the initiation and planning phases of a project.

If you chose the waterfall methodology for your Week 1 Project Plan Draft assignment, create the following:

    •  A business requirements document, or BRD: Use the Business Requirements

        Template as the basis for your BRD.

    •  A work breakdown schedule, or WBS: Use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

        Example document as the basis for your WBS.

Alternatively, if you chose the Agile methodology for your Week 1 Project Plan Draft assignment, create the following:

    • A product requirements document, or PRD: Read "Product Requirements

       Documents, Downsized" for assistance in creating this document.

    • User stories/scenarios and acceptance criteria: Review "Agile Requirements

        Snail: Feature to User Story to Scenario" for help in creating this document. Then

        use the Scenarios and COS tabs located in User Scenarios And Acceptance

        Criteria Example as the basis for your user stories/scenarios and acceptance

        criteria.

Submit your completed BRD and WBS, or your completed PRD and user stories / scenarios with acceptance criteria.
