Assignment: Draft of System
Prompt
Review the AFIT GPS Case Study and the AFIT Hubble Space Telescope Case Study, and choose one case study for use with your project. Keep in mind as you craft your submission that you will be learning more about the sections of the project (Systems Life-Cycle, Requirements, Trade-Off Studies, and Risk Management) as we move through the course. This milestone is a place to share what you know now, as well as what questions you have related to your case study. The SEBoK acronym list may be helpful as you complete this milestone. This milestone should address the critical elements below, which include a draft of the Systems Life-Cycle portion of your project.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
i. Describe which case study you chose and why.
ii. Explain what is interesting to you about this case study.
iii. Select sections of the case study to use for the following sections of the project for planning purposes in the next milestones: Systems Life-Cycle, Requirements, Trade-Off Studies, and Risk Management
Systems Life-Cycle:
i. Illustrate the principal products and activities of the development project. What development process was used? To what extent did the development process reflect your understanding of the systems life-cycle? What best practices were missing? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
ii. Analyze the deployment of the system. For example, how was the system integrated (i.e., the pieces put together and installed into the operational environment)? How was the system fielded? What lessons were learned? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
iii. Examine the plans for the future of the system. For example, how will the system be maintained (e.g., repaired and updated)? How is the future evolution of the system being planned and managed? To the extent possible, use specific examples to illustrate. If the required information is not readily available or is incomplete in the case study, you may make assumptions, as long as they are clearly stated.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
ii) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
iii) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
