Info system and project management
1. Choose an entertainer for whom you would like to design a site. You can redesign a bad entertainment site you reviewed, or you can develop an entirely new site.
- Liverpool FC, LiverpoolFC.tv
- Spotify
- Three Days Grace, threedaysgrace.com
- New York Yankees, www.mlb.com/yankees
2. Develop your project charter. Typical parts of a project charter might include
- Project name
- • Project sponsor
- Assigned project manager
- Project team members and their role in the project
- Statement of purpose (i.e., overarching goals, including what entertainer you are focusing on)
- Statement of features, including
- What features seem to be important for entertainment websites?
- What features seem to be less important?
- Do certain features seem to be more appropriate for different types of celebrities?
- Are some features incompatible (e.g., if you do one thing, should you not do another)?
- Statement of objectives (i.e., specific high- level project deliverables)
- Stakeholders
- A basic statement of how the team will approach the work
- Authorized project resources (i.e., people, budget—for your case the budget may be based on hours, and you can assign a base rate to all of your work)
- Technology you are going to use for the website
- Site map, describing the various pages your site will contain and how they are related (this is a nested list showing the layout of the pages—that is, the main pages and subpages)
- Screen mock-ups (essentially, samples of what your screens will look like, easily done in Microsoft PowerPoint)
- Basic project timeline (which can be substantially refined in the project plan to follow.
