Using Project Management Techniques to Design a PMP Mathematics Study App for the Windows Universal Platform

Abstract

Background As a late comer to the smartphone market, Microsoft has fallen behind the Apple and Google app ecosystems in the quantity and quality of apps offered. To attract developer talent, Microsoft released the Universal Windows Platform which enables apps to run across Windows devices with few additional modifications. Although the Windows app ecosystem has realized an increased number of available apps, few apps related to project management are currently available. About the project This project will design a PMP Certification Mathematics Study App for the Universal Windows Platform which will serve as a reference and study aid for the PMP certification exam. The app will be available to mobile and PC users who are utilizing the Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 8 operating systems. Features of the app will include project management formula lookup, formula flashcards, and practice problems. At the completion of the project, the app will be submitted to the Windows Store for review and publishing to the Windows 10 application ecosystem. Approach The project scope will include the design of the app from requirements gathering to completion. Project deliverables will be aligned with Windows store applications evaluation criteria for responsiveness, reliability, and style. This project will conclude with submission of a completed application design to the project sponsor.Title Page / Table of Contents / List of Exhibits / Abstract / Background / About the project / Approach / Keywords / Introduction / Project Purpose / Project Approach / Research and Analysis / Research Approach / Research Analysis / Application Design Rating Verification / Research Objective 1: Investigate the preferred learning style of potential users / Research Objective 1: Design Conclusions and Implications / Flashcards Module / Formula Builder Module / Formula Reference Module / Research Objective 2: Investigate the most important aspect of user satisfaction / Research Objective 2: Design Conclusions and Implications / Research Conclusions / Requirements Gathering / User Interface Design / Project Deliverable Design / ViTech CORE / Input Application Requirements / Identify Application Components / Identify Component Functions / Identify Use Cases and Test Activities / Project Deliverables / Application Design Documents / Application Hierarchy / Conclusions and Recommendations / ViTech CORE Software Con/ lusions / Graphing Capabilities / Diagnostics Capabilities / Requirements Mapping and Verification / Final Project Deliverables / Recommendations for Further Research and Development / Application Publishing / Further Development and Product Updates / User Feedback Collection / Application Update Opportunities / Application Expansion Opportunitie
