Getta Byte Software Project Charter
After reviewing the Getta Byte software project charter and completing the drop and drag charter there were a few components that were left out. The main goal is to replace the current billing system with an online billing system. The charter explains that the current system is inaccurate and time consuming. Implementing a new billing system has the potential to make the process faster and more accurate as well as save in labor expenses. There is also a specific timeline of when these goals should be met.
Although the basics of creating the new billing system are laid out and the expectations of this system are relatively clear, there is no discussion or specifics on who is responsible for what. I believe that this needs to be addressed and organized so that everyone will understand what they need to do and what they are expected of in order to make the implementation of a new billing system successful.
There are a few risks that have been addressed, but I do not feel that all risks have been addressed. Risks regarding network issues during transfers and data transfer risks have been discussed. This could be more specific. For example, what potential network issues are a risk? There are also risks involved with the time frame that was given to complete the new billing system. The budget is another issue. When working with a budget there is always a risk that it may not be enough to complete everything up to standards. There is a risk that none of the expectations will be met or that the employees will not understand the new system and that could potentially effect productivity.
These risks and potential issues should all be addressed and there should be a conversation on how to prevent some of these issues from occurring. I would put a small team together or assign someone to focus on the risks at hand and how to avoid them. Preparation is key. If there is an understanding of the potential threats and risks involved there should be a way to prepare and prevent them from happening or affecting the plan.
Communication is vital in this situation. I believe that everyone needs to be informed and remain on the same page throughout the process of creating the new billing system. It is important that key stakeholders are all aware and prepared for the system integration and can effectively communicate throughout the process. If effective communication is achieved I believe that the new system will be successful.
