Analyze Project Management Data Sets

n

Analyze data sets. The data analyst builds a data dictionary from each existing data set. He then compares this to the data dictionary developed in the requirements, and revises the data dictionary for the PMO database accordingly. Then add a statement that defines if and when the database will be moved into the new online project management system.

n

Analyze data structures. Using data flow diagramming and data analysis, the data analyst builds a data dictionary from data structures. He then compares this to the data dictionary developed in the requirements, and revises the data dictionary for the PMO database accordingly. Then add a statement defining when and how the tools that house the data structure will be integrated into the database solution or discontinued.

n

Evaluate RDBMS. If an RDBMS – stand-alone or embedded – already exists, then its data and structures are evaluated according to the first two steps. In addition, the project management templates application, database system, and structure of related tables are analyzed by a gap analysis to the requirements for the PMO database.
