Project Scope
In this project, the record-keeping software needs to be developed as a priority for the organization. It will help to keep the data and records of the organization safe. The software needs to be developed with the help of a few stakeholders and some materials will be required for the development of the record-keeping software.
Project objective
The objective of this project is to develop the record-keeping software is to develop a system that keeps all the data and records of the organization.
Required resources
Some resources are required for the successful development of the software.
- Hardware- The hardware is the basic requirement for the development of the software. This is necessary to hold the system and operate it successfully.
- Internet- The internet is another essential thing that is needed for the development of record-keeping software.
- Computer system- The updated computer system is required to develop record-keeping software (Tippett, et al., 2017).
Stakeholders and their roles
- Project manager- The project manager is one of the most important stakeholders in record-keeping software development.
- Programmer- The programmer is another stakeholder in the development of the record-keeping software development.
- Developer- The developer is also an important stakeholder in the development of the record-keeping software development.
| Stakeholders | Roles |
| Project manager | To supervise the project |
| Programmer | To program the software as per the data storage needs |
| Developer | To develop the initial design of the software |
| Business Analysts | To evaluate the previous and current business data for improving the decision-making process in the organization (Sugandhi, et al., 2021). |
Communication plan
| Stakeholders | Communication subject | Medium | Frequency |
| Project manager | Regarding design, documentation, programming, testing maintenance, and delivery | Email, phone, video conferencing, and meeting | Daily |
| Programmer | Regarding design, documentation, programming, testing maintenance, and delivery | Email, phone, video conferencing, and meeting | Daily |
| Developer | Regarding design, documentation, programming, testing maintenance, and delivery | Email, phone, video conferencing, and meeting | Daily |
| Business analysts | Regarding design, documentation, programming, testing maintenance, and delivery (Oladele,2014) | Email, phone, video conferencing, and meeting | Daily |
Project schedule
The project schedule consists of the steps that are mandatory to complete the successful completion of the development of the record-keeping software. It involves many stages that are mentioned as follows. The timeline to complete the tasks is also mentioned in parallel to
| Task | Timeline |
| Design – It refers to the designing of the software that is the blueprint to develop the software. | 15 days |
| Documentation- It refers to documentation of the basic design that needs to be implemented. | 1 month |
| Programming- The programming of the software is the most essential part of the development of the software. | 2 month |
| Testing- The testing is the pre-run stage where the software is tested and checked for its successful working of it. | Month |
| Maintenance- The maintenance of the software is like the after-care of the software once it is developed. | Month |
| Delivery- The delivery is the completion stage of developing the software. It is considered successfully developed software thereafter (Mateen, et al., 2019). | 15 days |
Issues management plan
The successful completion of the development of record-keeping software goes through many hurdles. These issues are covered in the table mentioned below:
| Issues | Solution | Timeline |
| Technical | This issue is required to be solved by the technical team. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Budget | These are management issue that needs to be settled with the owner. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Schedule | The schedule is an issue that needs to be timely managed to avoid exceeding the project deadlines. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Integration issues | The integration issues of the software are crucial this that need to be looked after by the project manager for preventing problems at a later stage. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Communication breakdowns | The communication breakdown is also another problem that I solved by the programming, development, and testing team when occurs. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Mismanaged timelines | The schedule is an issue that needs to be timely managed to avoid exceeding the project deadlines. | Few days, a few weeks, or a few months |
| Feature overload | The software that needs to be developed for record-keeping needs not to be overloaded with features. This is the responsibility of the developer. | Few days, a few weeks, or few months |
| Lack of specification in the features | The lack of specification in the features of the software should be taken care of by all the stakeholders for the successful development of the software. | Few days, a few weeks, or few months |
| Lack of alignment between developer and user | The lack of alignment is also an issue for the development of the software. This is solved by the proper communication between the developer and the user (Fritz & Müller,2016). | Few days, a few weeks, or few months |
