Q.2 Provide examples of events that you think may trigger alterations in a work plan. What would the consequences of such events be?
Events that may trigger alternations in a work plan as outline by Sumner (2005):
Conflicts of people, time and project scope due to insufficient personnel;
Inability to communicate with the system user;
Failure to use effective software development approaches, such as structured analysis/design;
Poor organisational structure, lack of leadership, or excessive span of control;
Failure of hardware/software to meet specification and failure of the vendor to deliver on time, or unreliable products;
Lack of effort, stifled creativity, and aggressive attitudes cause failure;
Caused by unclear assignments, insufficient project management and tracking tools;
Failure to perform the activities needed while unnecessary activities are performed;
Consequences of events outline by Sumner (2005):
Incorrect system with poor reliability, difficulty with maintenance, and dissatisfied users;
Causes inadequate requirements specification, poor reliability, high maintenance costs, scheduling and budget problems;
Leads to poor coordination of tasks, schedule delays, and inconsistent quality;
Time delays and budget overruns occur, poor project specifications, and system is difficult to maintain;
Work assignments may overlap, deliverables may be poorly defined and poor communication may result;

Have a look at assignment 3. The purpose of this assignment is to provide a case study report. Provide a rough skeleton (dot point form if you wish) of what you are going to put in the main body of your report. You should make clear what the problem is and also outline what the options are.
