Imagine that you have been hired as a project manager assisting in the development of an iOS application and cloud-based solution that is designed to streamline your organization’s delivery operation. As the project manager, you are to manage the development and release of the mobile client platform in the cloud-based infrastructure that will use GPS to track the shipment and delivery of goods in airplanes across the United States.
The iOS mobile client will have three modules consisting of a search customer screen, a search address screen, and confirm delivery screen. Programmers have reviewed the requirements and estimate that each module will take one programmer 300 hours to complete.
In addition to delivering the iOS mobile application, your project will require upgrading the internal network and application infrastructure to a cloud-based model to support the new iOS mobile platform. This effort will require your team to procure network appliances to optimize the security factors of the cloud-based platform.
One last component of the project scope is to provide training to operation support staff and 30 cargo airplane pilots staffed across four regions of the United States. Your project team consists of three programmers, a technical writer, three technical trainers, two network engineers, and one system administrator.
