Nursing Project Management Work Flow Chart
Analysis of the Work Flow Chart Based on SDLC
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) follow the various vital phases that are considered important for effective systems development including, planning, design, analysis and execution. The SDLC also takes into consideration an assessment of the system that is presently in use, information collection, feasibility research, and approval of requests (Cassidy, 2016). Such aspects have been considered in the workflow chart and in the analysis.
Project Initiation and Conception
Commences upon the project sponsors identifies an opportunity or a need. This is also marked by the creation of the project concept (Mustaquim & Nyström, 2015).
System Concept development
The development of the systems concept commences with the definition of the project scope and boundaries. The system concept development also includes aspects such as the project plan, charter resources, and schedule. Moreover, it entails the cost benefit analysis of the project, development of the risk management plan and the performance of the feasibility study (Johnston & Nally, 2015).
Planning
The planning phase entails the development of the project management plan alongside the various planning documents. The planning phase offers the basis for the resources required for successful attainment of the project objectives and goals.
Requirements Assessment
The requirements analysis phase entails the analysis of the various user needs and the development of the user requirements (Johnston & Nally, 2015). It additionally entails the creation of functional requirements documentations.
Project Design
The project design phase entails the transformation of the identified user requirements into comprehensive detailed systems (Johnston & Nally, 2015). The phase mainly concentrates on the delivery of the desired level of functionality.
Project Development
The project development phase entails the conversion of the project design into a comprehensive and complete information system. It entails the acquisition and subsequent installation of the systems environment, the creation and subsequent testing of databases, the preparation of the test case procedures, coding, preparation of the test files, compilation, refining of the programs, and performance of the test readiness reviews alongside various procurement activities (Cassidy, 2016).
Integration and Testing Phase
The phase entails the determination and demonstration of the conformity of the developed systems to the various requirements as noted within the functional needs documentations (Mustaquim & Nyström, 2015). The phase is mainly performed by the quality assurance workers and other users. The phase is anticipated to generate the necessary test assessment reports.
Execution
The phase entails the execution preparation, systems execution into the nursing environment. Moreover, it also takes in the resolution of the different challenges that have been identified within the testing and integration phases (Cassidy, 2016).
Operation and Maintenance Phase
The phase mainly entails the description of various tasks required for the operation of the system, as well as the maintenance of information systems within the nursing contexts. To this end, the phase includes the in-process reviews and the post-execution reviews (Mustaquim & Nyström, 2015).
Disposition Phase
The phase mainly describes the end of the system activities Focus is mainly placed on the apt preservation of the system data (Cassidy, 2016).
