MGT 154 - Exercises

The course includes the following nine exercises:

1. Separate the Projects From the Black Holes

The students will examine several project proposals. Using criteria developed during the preceding lectures, they will separate porposals into

        Doable projects

        Risky projects

        Highly questionable ventures

 

2. Match Project Porposals with Life Cycles

The students will examine several project proposals. Using criteria developed during the preceding lectures, they will select appropriate software development life cycles for the proposals

 

3. Has the Project Gone Off Course?

Students will examine sample project documentation.  Using checklists from the course lecture, students will decide whether a project has deviated from plan

 

4. Plan a Project Recovery

Students will examine a project that has developed a problem and they will produce a recovery plan

 

5. Count Function Points

Students will generate an estimate using the Function Point formulae.  Emphasis will be on determining what information students need in order to generate an estimate and what information a Function Point estimate provides

 

6. Cocomo Estimate

Students will generate an estimate using the COCOMO formulae.  Emphasis will be on determining what information students need in order to generate an estimate and what information a COCOMO estimate provides

 

7. Test Planning

Students will identify appropriate categories of tests based on sample project documents. They will not write the actual test cases. Students will justify their choices based on criteria presented in preceding lecture

 

8. Plan Requirements Stage

Students will develop a plan for gathering a complete set of requirements based on sample project documents.   Students will justify their choices based on criteria presented in preceding lecture

 

9. Measure the Impact of a Proposed Change

Students will be given a sample project document.  They will be told that a change has been introduced.  Students will identify areas of the project that will need adjustment based on the proposed change
