The approach will be to develop a plan of action comprising of tasks and managing our time

with a Microsoft Project 2010, APPENDIX B - MS Project 2010

1.1 Travel Itinerary Planning System Web Site Objectives

The objective is to develop an innovative web application which will help people plan their travel itinerary the duration of the project is approximately 2.5 months, we will use MS

project to schedule the tasks and generate a chart. APPENDIX B - MS Project 2010, and

follow a project management system that uses the spiral model for software development

APPENDIX A, Project Management, The project risks will be tracked and monitored along

with journal submissions to blackboard at Sheffield Hallam University. All project members

will experience all the roles and document their progress in the journals. Weekly project

meetings have been booked into the university study rooms, one of the task will be for role

change overs, and document journal updates and training support and task hand overs.

The estimated milestones are recorded in the table below, Table 1 below

A prototype will be developed as means of developing the functional requirements and user

interface this process will help develop the software specifications by interviewing the users

this feedback will help during the development process and aid training for staff member.

In order to manage the web applications development and increase a quality controls we will

use spiral model for the software development, comprising of defined stages of the web

applications development

1.2 WEB SITE ACCESSIBILITY INTERVIEW

The objective of this feasibility interview was to investigate the steps need to make theplanned web site more accessible to users. With the web application being a globallyaccessible system we anticipate that the web site must meet some basic design

requirements so that it is more compatible with screen readers such as JAWS(www.freedomscientific.com 2011)

I met with Mr Kyle Crossland who works at the Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind

SRSB Thursday 20/10/2011

Subject of the meeting - Accessibility for the visually impaired user, he indicated that theorganisation uses software called JAWS (www.freedomscientific.com 2011)

The main point to keep in mind for the web based application is to avoid banners that refreshand precompiled animations and avoid using flash, and JAWS used information in Headingsand Tags, JAWS do not use a mouse.

In general for web sites, he recommended that if the font size could be increased and thedefault value saved in a cookies and the Z order, or the information has a good structure interms of navigation.

Conclusion - It should be feasible to increase the accessibility of the web site by includingthe above guidelines

2.0 PROJECT ESTIMATES

The project estimates were investigated excluding the financial terms, however other considerations

were taken into account, such as staffing numbers for the project, this estimate would be more

accurate with historical data from previous projects. This type of information would be useful for

project planning, task allocation and budget allocation in the future.

2.1 PROJECT RESOURCES

The project resources need for the, Travel Itinerary Planning, web application was discussed and a

number of technologies were tried and evaluated for their effectiveness of the resources. A prime

important is the time is allocated for staff training and that systems are in place for the staff to acquire

resources for the project, below is a non-limiting list of the resources needed for the project staff

member are free to add to this list as the project progresses.TABLE 2 Resources

3.0 RISK MANAGEMENTThe risk management of the project was investigated and a number of risk factors were highlighted

and steps to counter act the risks addressed, the team will continue to monitor and manage the risks

during the web application development.

3.1 SCOPE AND INTENT

To reduce the risk of the scope of the project becoming to wide, this problem is also known as feature

creep, this best described as after a project begins more features are added causing chaos

3.2 RISK MANAGEMENT ORGANISATIONAL ROLE

Training for the latest technologies so the staff members are updated with the latest software

The risk or management of the risk or organisation roles of the project will be substantially reduced by

the structure of the project. Risk of software compatibilities, Risk of organisational role such as staff

not familiar with their job task, or responsibilities to, counteract this risk and the table below show the

job task description, subject to changes and update with journal information.
