Assignment 1: Web Development Project for a Nonprofit

Organization

Project Background and Objectives

You have been asked by a nonprofit organization to oversee and manage a website

development project. The organization already has an Internet connection and allocated

server space, but it lacks experience in creating web pages. In addition to building the new

website, you will also train two staff members to perform basic website updates. The

website should include core content such as the organizations mission, history, recent

events, service offerings, and contact information. It should also incorporate visual

elements (photographs and other images) within a clean, attractive, and user-friendly

design.

Project Scope and Tasks

The web development effort involves several key phases, which you will organize using

Microsoft Project. These tasks include:

1. Information Gathering: Collect both physical and digital materials related to the

organization, such as brochures, reports, organizational charts, photographs, and

other relevant documents.

2. Benchmarking: Research the websites of similar organizations to gather design

ideas and best practices.

3. Requirements and Resources: Obtain detailed information about the

organizations design preferences and verify their access to web server space.

4. Template Design: Create a consistent page template (including elements like

background color, layout of navigation buttons, text and image placement, and

typography).

5. Site Structure: Develop a sitemap or hierarchy diagram to outline the flow and

organization of the websites pages.

6. Content Digitization: Digitize any paper-based text and photographs, and gather

additional digital images needed for the web pages.

7. Page Development: Build each web page using the chosen design and the

collected content.

8. Testing: Perform thorough testing of each page and the entire site to ensure

functionality, usability, and compatibility.

9. Deployment: Deploy the completed website to the organizations web server.

10. Feedback and Revisions: Collect feedback from the organization and incorporate

any necessary changes to refine the website.

11. Training Materials: Prepare instructional materials that explain how to update and

maintain the website.

12. Staff Training: Train the designated staff members on how to update and maintain

the website going forward.

Project Timeline and Scheduling

Select a Project Management framework for this project (e.g. SDLC). Use Microsoft Project

to plan and track the project timeline by creating milestones and summary tasks to

represent key phases of work. For each of the tasks listed above, enter realistic durations

and establish the appropriate dependencies to connect all tasks, ensuring that every task

is linked to both the projects start and end points. Make sure to include project

management activities that are not described. You are responsible for including the

work required for the project manager to manage the project and identify each of the

project management phases in the project management life cycle. Assume a total project

duration of four months to complete all work. Save the project file under the name

Website.mpp.

Risk Analysis and Management

After defining the project timeline, review all major milestones and tasks to identify

potential risks. Assess each identified risk and develop a plan to manage and mitigate

these risks throughout the project. Use the provided Simple Risk Assessment

Tool_w2026.xls to document your risk analysis and response strategies. Your risk

management plan should explain how you will monitor and control the identified risks.

Submission Requirements

Submit the Website.mpp file (your Microsoft Project file) along with your risk management

documentation. The documentation should include the completed risk analysis (using the

provided tool or a similar format) and any supporting explanations for how you plan to

control and monitor the project risks. Ensure that your files are clearly labeled and

organized as directed.
