Project implementation is arguably the most exciting stage of the project management process. It is during project implementation that project plans begin to come to life and assumptions are able to be tested and measured in real-life scenarios.
The scenario being used is:
Internet Bank You work for a startup company that is launching an internet bank. The internet bank will provide the following financial products and services to its customers:
· Accounts and deposits
· Credit, debit, and travel cards
· Loans
· Insurance
· Investments
· Tax services
Senior management and investors have identified the following key technical factors for the success of the internet bank:
· Scalability – The technology and software application infrastructure must accommodate high growth and new users without impacting the service levels delivered to existing users.
· Availability – Users must be supported with robust, consistent, and reliable access; excellent performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
· Security – Industry-accepted security practices and a multi-level authentication systems have to be put in place to authenticate and identify each user before they access their accounts and initiate transactions.
· Manageability – The technology and software applications infrastructure must be easy to manage, support, and update.
One of the outcomes of project implementation is a set of deliverables that typically includes a system diagram; a network diagram; a database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions; a clearly articulated cybersecurity plan; and source code.
To complete this assignment, you will need to create the following components:
- A system diagram that shows, in graphic form, the components of your project
- Your system diagram should follow the system description you submitted in your Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
- You may create your system diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, or a graphics program of your choice.
- A network diagram that shows, in graphic form, the flow of data within your project
- Your network diagram should follow the network description you defined in the Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
- You may create your network diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, or a graphics program of your choice.
- A database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions, representing all of the data that must be stored and maintained within the context of your project and how that data is organized
- A clearly articulated cybersecurity plan that explains how you plan to secure project data and processes
- Source code (may be partial) for at least one software application
- Your source code may be implemented in HTML/JavaScript, Java, C++, or another programming language.
- Download and unzip the HTML/JavaScript/CSS sample code files for an example of a partial software application implementation.
- A quality assurance and software test plan
- Download the Software Test Plan for an example of what information is typically included and how it is typically organized in a software test plan.
