ITC4760 Course Project – Unit I 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 Project Title Page, Part 1 (25 points):
Create a Word document of a Title Page for the IT Project in APA format. (Refer to the IT Project Plan, found in the Project Overview section, as a guide.) Be sure to cite the textbook and any outside sources used. The Title Page should include the following information: • Project name • Information Technology Project (Part 1) • Course number and name • Student name • Instructor name

IT Project Selection/Description, Part 2 (75 points):
Submit a Word document of the description of an IT system project for instructor approval. Use APA formatting. (Remember: choose a familiar system rather than learning a new system.) Referring to the information presented in Chapter 1, provide the project description and justification for choice of the project including a general statement of: • Unique purpose • Beginning and ending points • General outline of work to be done in the project • Hardware, software, and other resources to be used • Description of customer • The reason why the project was chosen

Summarize the key elements of the IT project plan and the critical duties of the project manager for that project. Unit I Assignment Parts 1 and 2 should be submitted as one assignment in a Word document.

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.
