PROJ6002 Case Study Property Condition Program Background The State Government Department (SGD) uses an ERP called BilP (Building Integrated Information Program) to store details of all buildings across the State Government building assets. New assets are entered into this system upon acquisition (including new builds) and follow a regular annual maintenance program to ensure that they are maintained to the highest possible standards, following regulatory and legislative requirements, with the aim of reducing rebuilding costs by effective and regular maintenance. Maintenance requirements are flagged in BiiP by regular building condition checks. The Building Condition check is currently carried out by internal staff, using a tablet to gather the data and submit directly to the BiiP system. The Problem Due to the increase in the number of building assets, and a reduction in the number of staff who carry out the building condition ingpections, SGD have outsourced the BC checks and collection of initial condition data to be uploaded and imported to BiiP system. Existing internal staff members will inspect a specific category of building assets and will continue to use the current tablet and upload directly to the BiiP system. These staff report to the Director of the Property Condition Program (PCP). As part of the outsource program, an external supplier (WeCheck) has been sourced viaa tender process to deliver the following outcomes. * Develop a property condition data collection app which will be used on a supplier provided iPad tablet. * Recruit and train external property condition staff who will inspect SGD property assets and collect property collection data including photos of the condition of the property assets. * Download the collected data and photos to files which will be transferred to the SGD servers for validation and upload to BiiP. s Check data validity and convert the data to the SGD required format for upload and transfer to SGD servers. The Director of PCP has requested that the Systems Development Department of SGD develop a protocol and applications that will collect the transferred data, validate it for accuracy, including the ability to view the photos and confirm that these match the data files, and submit the approved file for upload to the BiiP system. You have been appointed as the Project Manager and have been advised that this was initially considered to be an easy solution and did not require a Project Manager. However, since there has been no traction on the application from the SGD end and no confirmation that WeCheck have created a tool that will convert and upload valid data, the decision has been made to appoint a Project Manager, including a team of developer and testing staff to complete the project from the SGD end and complete testing of data that has been supplied by WeCheck. You have also been told that you will complete the project within 6 weeks, as the Minister iz asking for evidence of the costs of maintenance in 2 months' time. The Developer Team Lead has discussed the requirements with the client team and mapped out the application from the SGD perspective, providing you with the flow of activities and modules. See Appendix 1 Scope Initial scope is to develop several modules to collect data which has been captured by the external entity and uploaded to shared cloud-based location (SharePoint) using XML format and batches of data. Folders will need to be created for data files, image files, data errors, error reports) Each batch contains a header record containing the batch id, the total number of records. Each recording within the batch contains the batch id concatenated with the record id, along with output of a data collection tool exported in xml format. Scope includes development of the following modules. File pickup Module should check the batch and test the batch header to ensure that the same batch id is used within the whole batch and that the batch contains the correct number of records. An error log is generated for all error batches and the file is flagged as rejected. A confirmation email is generated and sent to PCP team as confirmation of successful batches. Move all error batches to an error folder. Move all successful batches to File validation folder. = Create an error folder for failed batch headers. * Create afolder for File validation records. = Createan error log. Createa confirmation email. File validation - open the file validation folder and the records contained in the folder. Create a module which will test the records in each batch to match the field data formats for compliance. Reject the full batch if data format errors are found. Generate an error report containing record id and data format error details. Move the rejected batch to the error folder. Move the accepted files to the Desktop validation folder. * Create an error folder for validation error records. = Create a Desktop validation folder for records which are correct, ensure that the image files are associated with the passed records. = Generate errors in the error log. Createa confirmation email. Desktop validation - Develop a desktop review module which lists all records ready for desktop review. The screen should be in similar format to BiiP view of Property condition. Allow records to be opened individually and allow open and download of associated photos. Provide an accept or reject option, with comments for rejection. Generate error report and upload error batches to error folder. = Develop a desktop review module. * Create an error folder for desktop validation errors records and attach image files and error comments. * General errors in the error log and include comments. * Create an accepted log for validation against records uploaded to BiiP Data approval - User selects the Approve option and schedules the file for upload to BiiP. Files are uploaded overnight. Confirmation report is generated on successful upload of records to BiiP. Confirmation report is emailed to PCP team. Error log is generated and emailed to PCP 'team for failed uploads. Failed records are returned to Error folder for further review. These records should be available in Desktop Review module as Failed Upload records with error message attached. * Create error folder for failed uploads. * Create email for successful uploads. * Create email for failed uploads. Reporting - Successful transfer generates a confirmation message in Desktop Review Application, failed transfer generates a failure message in Desktop Review Application and creates an error log. * Create successful upload message in Desktop Review Application log * Create failed upload message in Desktop Review Application log * Further reports to be specified and generated post implementation. Quality Quality of data captured by external entity, ensuring that it matches the key attributes of the new database into which the data will be uploaded. Quality of data transfer protocol, ensuring that batches of data uploaded and collected match the header record identifying the records to be collected. Process quality ensuring that data collected is valid, data capture is efficient and results in zero batches rejected, quality of data and associated artefacts, e.g. photos, correct data formats, data has been completed correctly, data isvalid (set auto and manual checks) Quality control requirements Test team will develop a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to track the requirements and the test scripts. Test team will develop Test Scripts for all modules. Test team will develop test data for testing data validation in preparation for final test using live data. Final test prior to go live requires all records to be correctly captured, validated for file correctness, validated for data correctness, viewable within the desktop view, including attachments, allowing acceptance or rejection, and accepted records need to successfully be uploaded to the BiiP application. Error reports are to be generated, emailed to a testemail address and reports to be loaded to the relevant SharePoint folders. Acceptance is basedona defined number of correct records processed end-to-end and confirmed by the PCP team. Final testing must include live data collected from WeCheck to ensure that the data is collected and transferred by WeCheck passes all validation tests. SGD and the project are not responsible for creation or development of the WeCheck data collection tools, but will provide 'WeCheckwith the data validation rules and the xml layout that must be used for data collection and transfer. Schedule The schedule is based on the Work Breakdown Structure developed from the list of activities and needs to ensure that the project is developed and tested ready for hand-over within the required six-week timeframe. Cost The allocated budget for this project is $250,000 including development and testing of the modules as identified by the SGD Development Team lead. Please see Appendix 3 for resources, costs and responsibilities. Internal resources are excluded from the Project Costs and Budget as they are employees and charged to the SGD cost centre. External employees are included in costs for the project and are costed at daily rate plus 15%. External employees are invoiced weekly. Costs should include external resources and contingencies.

Durations are tracked and reported in days to the nearest day. 'Work is reported and estimated in hours based on 8-hour day and the daily rate for each external resource. Threshold - Schedule and Cost. This is a short project with a high impact and high importance. The threshold for schedule delay is limited to 5 days. Tasks will need to be tracked at task level and reported at task level. Where the task is delayed by less than 5 days, it remains within the scope of the Project Manager to resolve the delay. Where the task or the overall project is delayed by 5 or more days, it will be escalated to the Project Steering Committee for further action. Cost threshold is 10%. Where the actual running cost is up to 10% over the approved baseline budget, the Project Management is responsible for resolution and bringing the Cost back to baseline. Where the current cost is 10% over the approved baseline budget, the issue will escalate to the Project Steering Committee and Senior Management for decision. Reporting cycle Due to the duration of the project, the Steering Committee will meet weekly and will invite the Project Manager. The Project Manager will provide a status report demonstrating the status of the project deliverables and track costs against the approved baseline. Assessment 2 Scope management planning = Describe the entire scope of the work including project background, a list of specific project goals, milestones deliverables, acceptance criteria, constraints, and assumptions. * Create a Work Breakdown Structure (at least three levels for tasks over 12 working days) for the project that aligns with the project activities. Further research is required. Quali . = Develop the guality management planning components of your Quality Management Plan. = Select at least three work 1D from difference phases to develop Quality Assurance activities accordingly. * Apply quality management tools to ensure the project performance is consistent with the guality management plan. Justify your selection. For this assessment you should use the Scope and Quality Management Plan template provided. Ensure that you have aligned your plan to the requirements outlined in the Assessment 2 Assessment Brief. Please ensure that you have explained the background to the tools and techniques you have applied and use relevant academic citations to support your explanations. Please remember that the audience for these Project Management Plans subsidiary plans may not be a Project Management expert and you should ensure that the required level of detail is included in the plans, providing confidence inyour knowledge and understanding of the project scope and quality requirements, and your approach to the management of scope and quality for this project. Assessment 4 Schedule management planning = Develop a network diagram and identify the critical path. You may use Excel to develop the network diagram or draw this by hand. = Create a schedule (gantt chart) using a scheduling tool such as Project Libre, MS Project or Project Plan 365 or similar. You may not use Excel for the development of the schedule and your schedule should demonstrate understanding of key scheduling tools, such as relationships, lags and leads, based on the activities list in Appendix 2. = You have one new developer and one very experienced developer who may work on B3 File Validation module and B4 Desktop validation module. Assume that the very experienced developer can achieve 110% productivity, while the new developer is only able to achieve 5% productivity as he will need to ask a lot of questions. Apply three- point estimation to B3 File Validation module and B4 Desktop validation module, The current estimations were based on previous similar projects (analogous estimates) and can be applied as the most likely duration. * You have very experienced staff working on each remaining moedule so can safely accept the estimates based on similar previous development projects. = Adjust your schedule to comply with the requirement to deliver the project within six weeks (you will note that the activities list has a total duration of eight weeks) soitis expected that you will apply and justify tools to compress the schedule appropriately. = Create the Schedule management plan and include the components listed above within your schedule management plan. LCost management planning * Develop the cost schedule using the schedule you have created for the schedule management plan, and apply the resources listed in the case study. = Create a project budget based on the cost schedule, remembering to include contingencies. = Create the Cost management plan and include the cost schedule and the budgetin the costmanagement plan.
