Consider the following description in the context of projects and project management: (i) A project has a title, an expected start date, and an expected end-date. The life- cycle of a project consists of the following phases: application, under review, in execution, terminated. Projects that are in execution have a start-date, and an expected end-date; they consist of a sequence of iterations – each iteration has its defined start- and end-date, as well as an actual start- and end-date. (ii) Each project has a list of tasks that need to be completed. Each task can be in one of the following states: not started, started, and completed. Each iteration is associated with a subset of the overall task list; this is the set of tasks that is being worked on in that iteration. (iii) A project manager has access to multiple resources, ranging from personnel to equipment. Resources are assigned to projects. Each resource has certain properties depending on its type; examples are “ideal work days” (for personnel) and number and location (for equipment). Each resource can be associated with a project for a certain duration and percentage. For personnel, for instance, that reduces the number of available “ideal work days” by the indicated percentage. (iv) Each project also maintains a list of risks. Each risk has a unique number, a short header, a description, a probability and a likelihood (low, med, high), and a mitigation strategy. Assume that your goal is to develop a web-based project management application based on the analysis above. The customer wants a three-tiered solution, consisting of a presentation layer, application layer, and a data layer. The core features of the applications should include • Add/delete/modify user accounts • Add/delete/modify projects, tasks, resources, … • Associate entities with one another • Monthly billing • File upload/download for files related to projects 1/2
