this course, you will be preparing a Consultant’s Analysis Report on
Enterprise Systems for a project of your choosing that will culminate in
the Final Key Assignment. You will not be developing any software or
actually implementing a system, but you will work extensively with the
concepts of good analysis of enterprise systems
implementation. Additional information and the deliverables for each
Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for
that project.Project Selection:The first
step will be to select a project as the target for your analysis. This
project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout
the course and should conform to the following guidelines:Nontrivial: The selected project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the system analysis and design process.Domain Knowledge: You
should be familiar enough with the organization or system category to
allow focus on the planning tasks without significant time required for
domain education.Accessibility: You should
have good access to the people and other information related to the
organization or system because this will be an important part of the
process.Select an enterprise system project that fits these
requirements and submit your proposal to your instructor before
proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should
be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor
will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be
given for project approval.Assignment:For the assignments in this course you will be developing a comprehensive document entitled Consultant’s Analysis Report on Enterprise Systems. Your
first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the
basis of your plan. You will also create the shell document for the
final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit.
As you proceed through each project week, you will add content to each
section of the final document to gradually complete the final project
delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the
analysis in your plan, and assumptions may be made when necessary.The project deliverables are:Submit project proposal to instructor for approvalConsultant’s Analysis Report on Enterprise Systems ShellUse MS WordTitle pageCourse number and nameProject nameStudent nameDateTable of contentsUse autogenerated TOC.Separate pageMaximum of 3 levels deepBe sure to update fields of TOC so it is up-to-date before submitting projectSection headings (create each heading on a new page with TBD as content except for sections listed under “New content” below)Project OutlineSystem RequirementsArchitecture SelectionResources and TimelineSecurityFinal Analysis and RecommendationsNew contentProject OutlineGive a brief description of the project.Information
