ITC4760 Course Project – Unit IV Assignment

This is a 7 Unit Course project that will utilize each week into 1 final project. prefer the same Tutor complete each assignment. MEANING THAT WHOEVER COMPLETES UNIT I ASSIGNMENT, WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE EACH OF THE UNIT ASSIGNMENTS USING THE PREVIOUS UNIT’S WORK.

IT Management and Technical Approaches:
Submit a Word document of the IT Management and Technical Approaches. Use APA formatting. (Refer to the IT Project Plan, found in the Project Overview section, as a guide.) You will also use information from this and previous chapters in the textbook, as well as outside sources. The Management and Technical Approaches should include the following information: • Management objectives: top management’s view, priorities, and assumptions or constraints. • Project controls: how to monitor project progress and handle changes. • Risk management: how to identify, manage, and control risks. • Project staffing: number and types of people required. • Technical processes: methodologies of project and how to document information.

IT Project Plan Overview
A key part of this ITC 4760 course is an Information Technology (IT) Project. A completed project
document will describe:
• An information system (chosen by the student),
• What the system will include (determined by the student), and
• Details of the work required to build the system (specified by the student).

Development of the project material will be incremental. Unit assignments will build upon each other for
the development of one final project. Consolidation of the unit increments will be during the final unit of
the course. The result will be a Word document to be submitted in Unit VIII, which is the first phase of the
IT project.
The completed ITC 4760 project document will be input to the continuation of project assignments in the
ITC 4780 course. Unit assignments in the ITC 4780 course will expand and modify the project document
of this course and will be the second phase of the personal project. Consolidation of the ITC 4760 project
material, and the ITC 4780 material, will comprise the completed IT personal project.
Since time, size, complexity, and resources are limited for the personal IT Project, you should choose a
system with the following characteristics:
• familiar
• simple
• small
• has information available

The idea of the project is to gain experience in project management. The best way to do this is to choose a familiar
system. Then, project management receives all the available time rather than learning a new system.
