working on the learning management system

Project plans include several key components. In this Case Assignment, you will perform some research on project planning and develop a project plan that will help guide the remainder of your project. The plan will include a schedule and budget for the project. The actual costs of the project may be estimated although they should reflect real-world costs for in-house development. The purpose of this assignment is to help you demonstrate your skills for project planning and to identify the resources required and potential risks to the project.

• A project schedule in the form of a Gantt chart. The chart should be pasted into your Project Plan document. The schedule should be appropriate to allow the completion of your project within the time constraints of the course. Note: As you develop your schedule, you may determine that modifications to your project are necessary to allow timely completion. If this is the case, then contact your instructor to discuss the necessary changes.
• A project budget including the anticipated costs for your project. Costs should include the design, development, training, testing, deployment, maintenance, and other costs which you may identify. The costs should be estimated as though the project were being developed in a real-life situation. If the budget is prepared in another program, it should be pasted into your project plan document. The budget should identify the cost items that would normally be included in a systems integration project. Understandably, the small nature of your project might mean that many of the line items will be zero cost, but the items should still be included to demonstrate that you understand the budget considerations for systems integration projects of larger scope.
• Identification of high risk areas in the project and comments regarding how these potential problems can be addressed.
