1. Based on the information given thus far, create a list of tasks that need to be completed for the new information system.
2. Organize your list by estimating how long it will take to complete each task, and list each tasks predecessor task or tasks.
3. Using the task list you developed, create a Gantt chart using Microsoft Word or Excel (preferred).
4. Identify the critical path for the project. Explain how the critical path is determined.
5. How will you use the critical path as the project manager for Learn Well?
6. The first thing to do is develop a plan
7. , part of which we are doing right now.
8. In the next step, we will spend a few weeks on the analysis phase of development.
   • In the first part of this phase we will determine the requirements for the new system, which involves conducting interviews, documentation reviews, surveys, and other research.
   • The next step is to model the data and processes of the new system based on our research.
   • After the data and processes are modeled, we will decide if we are going to purchase or build the new system in-house.
9. After the analysis phase is completed, we will begin the system design phase.
   • This phase of the project includes the user interface; screens that users will work with and reports that are generated from the system.
   • The next step in this phase is data design where we will work with components of the data that is flowing through the system.
   • The final step of this phase is designing the system architecture. This will largely be based on whether we decide to purchase a system from a third party, outsource the system to a cloud service, or build the new system ourselves.
10. The next phase of the new system will be implementation where we will install the hardware, software, and train the users.
    • The implementation phase will include the go live, which will be a date where the new system will start and the old system will stop.
11. The final phase will be ongoing support and maintenance of the new system.
