9/23/2002
You are not required to be in class on Monday, September 23, 2002. We may have an asynchronous on-line discussion (if possible). Watch this web site for details.
Reminder: PCD project proposals are due on 09/30/2002. Please use this class time to review previous projects, organize your project teams, and prepare your project proposals.
Guidelines for PCD Project: By engaging PCD principles in the creation of critical
performance-centered system components in a course projects, the student must
demonstrate abilities in key phases of the performance-centered systems development
lifecycle (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation).
Format for Project Proposal
A. Project Name
B. Project Objective
What do you intend to show, prove, or develop? Which elements of the PCD process are
the focus of the project? What is the purpose, who is the customer, and what is critical to
success?
C. Project Deliverable
Is the result going to be a working system? - a prototype? - a design specification? - an
evaluation? Be specific.
D. Project Team
Are you going to work alone or in a group? If the latter, who are the members and what
roles will each person play?
E. Business Problem and Business Needs
State the business problem or organizational problem around which your project focuses.
This should be a real problem that has measurable performance gaps - in
business/organization and human terms. State specifically how you expect the PCD
activities to contribute to filling the performance gaps.
F. Project Plan Outline
Delineate how your project will proceed from its onset to its conclusion. How will you
measure progress (i.e., what are the interim deliverables and what are the review and
approval processes)? When will you engage each element or subelement of the PCD
process? How? If yours is a team project, what are the roles and responsibilities of each
team member with respect to the project tasks and outcomes?
G. Presentation Proposal
How will you present your results? What (if any) equipment will be needed? Who will do
what (if a team)? What would be the suggested evaluation criteria to fairly assess your
expertise?
