Ohio Department of Taxation

The project was early in the Planning Process when Diversified Systems joined the team as a second project manager early in the planning process with responsibility for the application development efforts.

During the planning process, we developed high-level estimates of effort, skills and costs, to complete the project on a satisfactory time line. The department’s methodolgy was used for all planning activities. This included scope, resources planning, resposibility planning, and communications. A project schedule developed with MS Project using Fast Tracking to meet the aggressive time constraint.

The project was staffed with both department employees and contracted individuals. DSI assisted in the resouce selection process. Other plan execution deliverables included the completion of project standards and process for quality, detail application design, functional test plans, user manual, with application construction currently past the mid-point.
