Blockchain Implementation Project Plan
Every project that has a reasonable chance at success starts with a solid plan. A project plan is far more
than just a schedule – it is a master plan that directs all planning and execution efforts to meet a
project\u2019s goals. For this class project, you will create a project plan to implement a newly developed
blockchain application.
The first step in this assignment is to describe your organization\u2019s environment and blockchain
application. You can choose a consumer-based or enterprise application environment. Each one has its
own environmental concerns. Once you describe your organization and blockchain application
environment, you will provide the abbreviated project plan. (A real project plan will include detailed
schedule, budget, procurement, and other supporting plans. This project won\u2019t require all components
of a real-life project plan.)
You abbreviated project plan (with organizational and blockchain environment introduction) must be no
less than 1500 words. Your paper must be in proper APA format, including proper in-text citations and
end references for any external sources you use. No more than 10% of this paper may originate from
external sources. This isn\u2019t a research paper – it is a project plan.
Your paper must start with the following sections (which should comprise at least 1\/3 of your paper):
\u2022 Organizational overview – Introduce your organization (it can be fictitious). Describe what your
organization does, how it defines success, what services or products it produces, and why it
decided to venture into blockchain technology. Then describe the specific goals blockchain
technology must meet to be deemed a success.
\u2022 Blockchain environment overview – Describe the type of blockchain your organization has
decided to implement and why. Explain how your chosen blockchain implementation is the best
choice for your organization\u2019s goals and capabilities, and how your organization participates in
your chosen blockchain network\u2019s governance.
Here are the sections your project plan must include:
\u2022 Project overview – Within the context of an organization and blockchain environment (described
in the first 2 sections of your paper), provide an overview of this project. What application are
you implementing? (Describe a novel blockchain application that derives value from blockchain
technology. Explain why blockchain technology is required for your application to operate.) This
section should include a description of what application you are implementing, and how you
define success for your project.
\u2022 Project charter – The high-level initial project document necessary to gain approval and funding
(includes the following)
o Reasons for engaging in this project (Why do you want to implement this application?)
o Project objectives
o Project constraints
o Project stakeholders
o Project scope
o Project risks (Include scalability, compliance, and security)
o Project benefits
o Project cost (Provide reasonable estimates of personnel and infrastructure cost to
accomplish what you\u2019re proposing.)
\u2022 Deliverables – a list (with descriptions) of artifacts to be delivered to the customer (defined in
stakeholders above) at the end of the project
\u2022 Critical success factors – What criteria will customers use to determine whether the deliverables
are acceptable?
\u2022 Work Breakdown Structure – What steps are necessary to take your application from a
development environment to a deployed and operating environment? This section
demonstrates an understanding of the implementation process. Provide a description, along
with details, of tasks necessary to deploy a blockchain application and make it available for end
users. You don\u2019t need to provide specific commands or details but describe the process in
enough detail that your technical staff could create procedures from your plan.
\u2022 Quality plan – Describe how you plan to measure and enforce quality standards at each step.
Describe your chosen quality metrics and how you will ensure your desired quality standards
will be maintained.
\u2022 Operationalization plan – Once you have successfully deployed your application conducted a
formal hand-off to customers, describe how you will hand-off the maintenance of your
application to operations. Describe the process of handing off the application and what
operations needs to take delivery of your application responsibilities.
Don\u2019t let this plan become a collection of lists. The purpose of this assignment is for you to consider the
level of effort required to implement any blockchain application. We aren\u2019t covering the initial
blockchain network implementation – just an application\u2019s implementation. Be creative when you
choose an application. Really think through how to describe your blockchain application in such a way
that you can use your description to get funding and support for your project.
You project plan file must be a Microsoft Word format (.docx), and have the filename with the following
Question 2 you already worked on
Practical Connection Assignment
it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.
Assignment:Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.
Requirements:
Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.
Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.
Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.
Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment.
You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.
Submission: Upload\/attach your completed paper to this assignment by the due date. Please see the Course Syllabus for the actual due date. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
