Scenario
Your portfolio includes a custom line of business application that is currently in a maintenance cycle. The business
area has requested several enhancements, and your help with planning the next release. To meet recent legislation
changes, some of the enhancements must be available in production by June 2018. The business area’s budget may
not cover all the items requested.
Assignment
1. Describe your approach to determine the scope of the release. Ensure your approach includes, but is not
limited to: objectives; prioritized actions; major milestones and timelines; and risks and challenges.
2. A private contractor will act as developer for the project. Describe your approach to ensure the quality of
the delivery.
3. The business area has asked you to facilitate and coordinate their user acceptance testing (UAT). How will
you ensure UAT is successful?
4. Describe how you would plan release of the enhancements to production, including how you will manage
communication with major stakeholders (e.g. business area, private contractor, internal staff). Post-
production, how would you verify that the migration was successful?
