The project management team will need to produce a series of planning documents that can be accessed throughout the project. Each member of the project management team must know their role and responsibilities, including which sections of the workforce they will be directly managing.

OLS 371 is a project management class for teams to learn project management skills through planning and developing through hosting a community service event in the form of a bike ride for Central Indiana Bicyclers Association (CIBA). Team is defined as a group of people that come together to achieve a common goal. The common goal for students in OLS 371 was to successfully host a bike ride.

We are performing the first “Initiate” step of the project process by identifying the stakeholders and naming and defining the projects at a broad

Team projects have always been one of my biggest fears; there are so many things to reason before beginning to becoming a team. From the moment when the professor says there’s a group project one’s mind can go swirling into a bundle of thoughts, doubts, and vaguely thought out wonders. Furthermore, there is the thought of “I wonder”, I wonder if I’m going to get the smart people, I wonder if that guy is friendly, or I hope there isn’t high expectations for the tasks at hand. Being introverted is one thing, knowing that there is there is no way to pass the class without participating is another. Now, not only do i have a group project, but I also have to overcome myself and do what’s necessary to succeed. On forward after getting my group members I was really confident in them from the start, they all looked the part and seemed if they had sense of humor. Meeting them on the day we were assigned to our groups was indeed mentally stimulating because we got to work right away. The only question came to mind is who will be the leader of this group? In retrospect, our team of six was chosen to be group five and we were assigned with the awesome category of leadership. Furthermore, after some very silly hilarious brainstorming we came up with our team name Alpha team five.

There are various types of techniques for gathering requirements for any type of organization. The best way to perform this information gathering task is to ask questions to customers. This requirements questionnaire could be the questions related to the software project. The basic purpose of these interviews is just to clarify understanding of project concerns. It is considered as most powerful technique to direct understanding of customer’s and stakeholder’s needs & expectations.

Software specification – this is the initial step where both system requirements and user requirements are analyzed. Problem to be solved by the system is identified and the steps to be followed are put in place. It is one of the most critical step because failure to understand user requirements may lead to delivery of a totally different project.

It does not mention any particular specification document but it does draw attention to what users need and it goes beyond testing software to include business processes.The definition speaks of satisfying ‘acceptance criteria’, which define what is acceptable to the users.
