Instructions for Activity A: Identifying Your Interests

Description

This activity is an instructor-led group discussion in which students will have the opportunity to identify which course content they found the most

compelling or interesting given their IT experiences and needs

Because students will be given a summary of the MSF key models, practices, and principles, they should be able to readily identify which course content is most appropriate to their needs

Use the feedback that you gather to introduce the next two topics, “Information Sources: MSF Curriculum” and “Additional Information Sources.”

Estimated time to complete this activity: 15 minutes Objectives

Following is the learning objective for this activity:

Students will be able to identify the MSF models, principles, and practices that are applicable to their IT experience and needs

They will be able to decide whether further MSF training is applicable to their IT needs and, if so, select appropriately from the MSF curriculum

They will be able to locate MSF information sources, including points of contact for MSF support and training

Setup

There are no special setup requirements for this activity

Module Strategy

Use the following strategy to present this module:

Summary of Key MSF Models This section provides a review of the key MSF models It is important that you limit the discussion to a summary level only If students are asking questions that were covered in preceding course modules, point them to the appropriate module for review The purpose of this review is to refresh students’ memories so that they are prepared for the activity later in the module

Topics in this section include:

• Risk Management Model

• Process Model

• Team Model

• Enterprise Architecture Model

• Design Process Model

• Application Model

Information Sources: MSF Curriculum This section provides an overview of the courses available through the MSF curriculum

Additional Information Sources This section provides pointers to valuable MSF information sources The student workbook describes the type of information available from the sources; however, try to tie in the student responses from the activity to direct students to the most appropriate information sources for their needs

Course Evaluation The course evaluation is included in the student workbook Emphasize how important it is to the success of the course for students to provide feedback

on the course Allow enough time at the end of the course for students to complete the evaluations

Overview

Additional Information Sources

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

Identify the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) models, principles, and practices that are applicable to your information technology (IT) experience and needs

Decide whether further MSF training is applicable to your IT needs and, if

so, select appropriately from the MSF curriculum

Locate MSF information sources, including points of contact for MSF support and training

2 Module 6: Course Conclusion

Summary of Key MSF Models

Enterprise Architecture Model

The goal of course 1639a, Overview of Microsoft Solutions Framework, is to

provide you with an introduction to the MSF As a result, this course discussed the key MSF models, principles, and practices Examination of those models, principles, and practices establishes MSF as beneficial for IT organizations For example, MSF:

Is practical and flexible as a framework

Can be adapted to meet the needs of any project environment

Can be implemented in pieces or as a whole

Provides a baseline of process and terminology that enhances communication and understanding

Slide Objective

To review the six key MSF

models that are presented in

course 1639a, Overview of

This topic is for review purposes only Recall that the Risk Management Model

is comprised of five steps: identify, analyze, plan, track, and control

Principles of Successful Risk Management

To manage risk successfully:

Assess risks continuously throughout the project life cycle

Use risk-based decision-making

Establish some level of formality

Cover all key persons and processes, including business and technology areas

Treat risk identification as a positive

MSF Proactive Risk Management

To manage risk proactively:

Anticipate problems instead of fixing them when they occur

Address root causes instead of addressing the symptoms of the cause

Prevent and minimize risk through mitigation instead of reacting to consequences

Prepare for consequences to minimize impact instead of reacting to crisis

Use a known and structured process instead of an ad hoc process

This topic is for review purposes only

Recall that the Process Model is phase-based and milestone-driven

Principles of the Process Model

The MSF Process Model relies on many principles, concepts, and practices

Project tradeoffs The variables in any project are resources, schedule, and

features As a team develops a product, it will inevitably have to make tradeoffs among project variables

Versioned releases Versioned releases enable the project team to provide

the features that are the most critical for functionality in a shorter time frame

Living documents Living documents are based on the principle that you

should baseline early and freeze late
