554 Week 4 Assignment 2 Implementing Software Development Project Management Be

Imagine you are an advisory board member for a Fortune 500 organization,
representing the Information Technology Division. Your organization is looking
forward to expanding its mobile software development platform and optimizing
software project management practices. Specific organizational goals include
minimizing software development costs and improving the reliability of mobile
applications. As a member, you are asked to qualify methodologies and recommend
best practices for optimizing software development. 

Research frameworks that may be used for meeting the organization’s goals
and consider best practices for software project management strategies for this
project. 

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

1. Describe how the development-process framework provides opportunities for
   streamlining software development, increasing quality, and minimizing risk.
   Explain the distinct focus areas that exist within system engineering and
   software development. Note: Refer to Figure 2.1B in Chapter 2 of the textbook
   for information on process frameworks for developing software-intensive
   systems.
2. Compare and contrast at least two (2) traditional software development
   process models with respect to iterative-development process models. Provide
   details on the various benefits and challenges that each method offers for an
   aggressive mobile development strategy.
3. Determine at least three (3) risks that may occur if the requirements
   engineering process is not properly followed. Speculate on how failing to
   perform these processes may lead to project failure. Include examples to support
   your answer.
4. Develop a software project management plan for the organization described
   within the scenario above. Describe the minimum level of detail that should be
   included within each section of the plan. Note: Refer to Table 4.4A in Chapter 4
   of the textbook for information on templates for a software project Determine
   how each component of the software project management plan facilitates and
   ensures that the project team members have adequate direction for a software
   development project. Include at least two (2) scenarios that may occur if a
   project is improperly planned.
5. Recommend at least three (3) best practices for software project management
   strategies for this project. 
6. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note:
   Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
   resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
  margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and
  the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
