SPM Assignment 01

The company XYZ specializes in video enhancement tools and is planning a new Distributed Video Enhancement Tool project. They currently have 25 staff but plan to expand to 75 over the next year. Some employees complained about communication issues and a lack of knowledge about advanced image processing. The project requires integrating third-party animation software. The company keeps good project management metrics but lacks detail on technical management. The software development group would be at the Initial level of the Capability Maturity Model as communication is an issue, knowledge is lacking in some areas, and technical management is not well defined.

Case Study

The owner of the company XYZ has hired you to provide advice to the
company. XYZ specializes in the production of tools to add text and
graphics to video, particularly for television advertisements. Their last
product, ABC, allowed advertisement producers to add captions and
still images to video.
This product was a significant success for the company, and they now
plan to produce a Distributed Video Enhancement Tool (project ABC),
which will allow producers to add a much wider variety of
enhancements, including animations and image processing effects, and
to share these data between their offices. Image processing experts
will also be able to write scripts defining image processing algorithms,
thus extending the capabilities of the system.
XYZ currently has 25 people on its staff and is planning to expand to 75
staff over the next twelve months, including several image processing
experts. It is a company with high morale and competent staff, but
during your assessment, several people complained that
communication within the organization is now much harder than it was
in the past. Some of the older employees were concerned that they had
little knowledge of advanced image processing algorithms. There were
also concerns about having to integrate third-party animation software
with their existing video editing software.
After doing your assessment of the company, you find that XYZ
currently keeps good metrics for their projects in the area of project
management, these include: staff usage, the production of project
