Description
Unit 8 Assignment
Application: Implementation
Plans
Have you ever heard the expression, “Fire, ready, aim”? It
expresses frustration over the fact that planning for a change (“aiming”) came
after the fact (“firing”) when it should have come before. Planning for
implementation can be as important as the planning you did at the beginning of
the project. In this case, though, the plans are related to how the old system
(or processes) is converted to the new system, how that new system and
conversion should be tested, and how the change should be documented for the
users, who have to get used to a new way of doing things.
For this Application, consider this scenario: You have been
working with a local, medium-size business to design a human resources system
that includes data such as personal information, payroll, job assignments,
benefits, vacations, and termination records. Your final project deliverable is
a migration plan for transition from the old system to the new. You do not have
to worry about creating the actual documents or tests because the organization
has the personnel to handle that; they only need to know the high-level
strategies for a successful migration.
In 3–4 pages, prepare the following strategies:
·
Conversion plan (including hardware and software installation
and data conversion)
·
Testing plan (including unit, integration, system, and
acceptance tests)
·
User training and documentation plan (including training
recommendations, reference documents, tutorials, and procedural documents)
·
Brief justifications for each of your three plans
Cite your sources according to APA guidelines.
