As you are aware , I have asked the 7th semester students ( Computer Stream ) of LTIT to develop the following web sites as their Project Requirements :
Ø
Two teams of, 3 students+ one faculty guide , will work on each
projects
In turn , the teams will receive Guidance / supervision from
Shuklendu / Nitin , when desired
Folders containing detailed FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS / SPECIFICATIONS have
already been sent to
Ø Shivanand
Satose ( Faculty Member – LTIT )
Ø Shuklendu
That means , the teams do not need to spend any time / undertake any activity in respect of “ Requirement Gathering Stage “ , during which , Client’s Functional Requirements are compiled and SPECIFICATIONS get written down , in order for “ Client Sign-Off “
But , this being a very different – and a Real-Life , project never before attempted by LTIT students , it is up to us to lend all possible support / encouragement in order for it to become an achievement of which they can be proud
That support would start with helping them prepare a PROJECT PLAN , which lists ALL activities and estimated time ( Man hours ) to complete each of those activities
Those activities that can be carried out simultaneously ( Parallel Activities ) should be clearly marked as such
For the Sequential Activities , the order / sequence in which each need to be undertaken , should be marked as such
A few months back , you had downloaded some PERT software tool and collaborated with one of our consultants in Pune who developed such a Project PERT CHART
I suggest you send that Chart to Shivanand along with,
Ø URL
of the site from where he can download PERT tool
Ø URL from
where he can download MS PROJECT tool
Some
more hard-copy documents that we can think of “ Loaning “ to Shivanand
are:
Ø Functional
Specifications for OES ( Order Execution System ) – booklet prepared by
APPLITECH – Ahmedabad
Ø Functional
Specifications for 3P web site – booklet prepared by Cyril
You
will find these amongst my box files. When you find these , you may phone up
Shivanand on0-96,19,08,39,39
And enquiry whether he is available at the Institute to receive these

I refer to our telecom this morning
I have already conveyed to Shuklendu , your request to meet him for drawing-up a proper Project Plan. He will be happy to help
You may phone him directly for an appointment
At the same time , I cannot help wondering that next door to you – and within L&T Group – there must be hundreds of extremely competent software professionals , who must be using some kind of Project Planning Software , day in and day out !
Why not rope-in one of those guys ?
These people have designed / developed / launched , some of the most sophisticated / data-base driven web sites in India
Just tell me if you want me to phone Mr Magapu ( L&T Infotec ) for help
