• Approach

  The project is complicated by the fact that much of the technology is newly installed, but that aside the general approach is as follows.

  1. Tool up for the job
  2. Extract Acan Gold datastructure
  3. Import into Datadictionary
  4. Extract Acan Gold data
  5. Import into Datadictionary
  6. Design PFETrack data structure
  7. Implement servlets
  8. Design User Interface (templates)
  9. Write download software
  10. Load AcanGold data into PFETrack for demo to customer
  11. Modify in light of customer meeting
  12. Write Specific reports in light of customer meeting

• Task Breakdown

• Timetable

  When are each of these tasks to be done? What are the dependancies? Is there a way of timetabling so as to build in fallback possibilities?

• Resources

  What manpower is required? Designers? Programmers?

• Risk analysis

  Where the unexpected problems are likely to crop up, their likely consequences, and contingency plans.

Readership

• The project leader should at least be confident that the developers believe the timescales are achievable.
• The developers should understand what they are being asked to do.
• The customer is welcome to peruse the plan but isn't required to---except that their attention is drawn to any tasks assigned, as it were, to them.
