Discuss the importance of project management. What are the different sections of project plan.

The importance of project management is an important topic because all organizations be it small or large at one time or other are involved in implementing now undertakings.

These undertakings may be diverse such as the development of a new product on service; the establishment of a new production line in a manufacturing enterprise, a public relations promotion campaign, or a major building program.

Project management involves systematically planning and implementing activities to ensure project completion on time within budget and to the requirement specification.

Project management effectively controls organizational change allowing organizations to introduce new products new, processes, and new programs effectively.

Project management concepts & techniques can be applied to a broad range of projects such as

  • the building of a block of apartments, 
  • a bridge, or a new aircraft, 
  • the design and development of an s/w package, 
  • the planning, and staging of an event.

A different section of project planning are:-

  1. Introduction: It describes the objectives of the projects and sets out the constraints like budget time etc that affect the project management.
  2. Project organization: It describes the way in which the development team has organized the people involved and their role in the team.
  3. Risk Analysis: This describes the possible project risk, the likelihood of these risks arising, and the risk reduction strategies that are proposed.
  4. Hardware and software resource requirements: This specifies the H/S  required to carry out the development. If the hardware has to be bought estimated prices and delivery schedule may be included.
  5. Work breakdown: In this phase, the project is broke down into activities and identifies the milestones and deliverables associated with each activity.
  6. Project schedule: This phase shows the dependencies between activities the estimated time required to reach each milestone and the allocation of people to each activity.
  7. Monitoring and reporting mechanism: This defines the management report that should be produced.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
