MPS Project Improvement

1. Radio Navigation System
Software Project Management
presented by Nicula Maria

2. Radio Navigation System Description
 The SW project that is implemented on the hardware system is going to
provide a smart, customer friendly and high quality Radio Navigation
system.
 The SW project is very complex and it requires a large amount of resources.
In this presentation, the human resources are assigned for a smaller version
of the project.

3. Project Objectives
 The main objective was to develop a Software Management Plan for
the RNS project
 The Software Management Plan was elaborated using Open Proj.
 The Software Management Plan contains all the important phases of
a Software Project.

4. Project Awareness
 Ways of avoiding workload:
– good task assignment
– workload computation before allocating human resources
– using optimization model in human resource management
 Human Resources Analytics:
– Manage labor hours and productivity and understand
staffing trends.
– Identify areas of risk with what-if planning.
– Audit Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) issues such as
gender and race.

8. OpenProj Benefits
• OpenProj is a free, open source project management solution.
solution
• OpenProj is OS independent because it runs on Java platform so can
run in different operating systems.
• Open Proj supports different views, each based on a specified
attribute.
• The tool has four simple reports: project details, resource
information, task information, and who does what.

9. Open Proj - Gantt view
 It is a bar chart which is used for project scheduling. It breaks down
the task into several subtasks and shows their relations, start and
end dates.

10. OpenProj - Network view
 It shows the “before” “after” and “intermediate” tasks in graphical
manner. Its also called PERT chart.

11. OpenProj - Resources view
 Resources Chart: Details of available recourses are listed here. Once
listed, the resources can be assigned in Gantt chart.

12. OpenProj - Histogram
•Open Proj offers various advantages provided by different options
selectable by user. One of the is the histogram, where you can track
down your resources availability on a specific period.

16. Conclusions
 In order to deliver a successful SW Project is necessary to know
and keep track of the tasks that need to be performed.
 With OpenProj, a project manager establishes the list of project
tasks. Each can be assigned to resources and given an estimate of
the completion effort. Tasks can be indented to be sub-tasks of a
parent. OpenProj allows dynamic adjustment of tasks. By
changing a duration, the effect on the whole project schedule can
be viewed at a glance.
 Sub-project durations are accumulated into their parents. It is a
simple matter to either add a new project task at any level or to
change a task into a sub-task. The project resources can be
maintained in a list showing the resource name and availability.
Additional resource details can be entered such as name, email
address, hourly cost, overtime or cost per use.
