PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT:

Subsequent to working through all the examiners and meeting with the partner, all the expectations needed for the task alongside the dangers and quality required was unmistakably perceived. At last, we held a gathering and characterized the degree explanation which incorporates the new frameworks qualities and prerequisites, sums up the site and depicts about progress rules.

REQUIREMENT COLLECTION STRATEGY 

COLLECTING REQUIREMENTS:

Gathering prerequisites is the way toward finding, archiving and dealing with partner wishes and necessities to satisfy undertaking goals. Giving the reason to lay out and take care of the task scope just as item extension is the critical increase of this cycle. We have utilized various approaches to assemble data. Initially, we utilized master judgment for gathering data who are educated in their separate fields. In addition, we used poll and studied strategy which is more reasonable for enormous number of individuals. We intended to utilize this strategy for gathering data since it gives partner to take their flexible choice and furthermore to participate in overview as per their inclinations. Other data gathering method like benchmarking, uncommon conversation and layouts will be followed when essential.

DATA ANALYSIS:

After collecting data, data are required to processed. So, some of the techniques like applying corporate policies, using use cases and context diagram are used to manipulate any data and discover useful information for decision making.

DATA INTERPRETATION:

After the completion of data analysis, we need to interpret the data. We can interpret the data either by creating a table or by simply writing in words.

SCOPE DEFINITION:

  • The data and information collected, shared should be secured properly.
  • The system developed should be available anytime and should be developed for the future prospective as well.
  • For any problems that may occur in future, the organization should properly train team members and staffs and should have proper solutions to those problems.
  • The website should publish the data about the sport members. 
  • The website should have advantages of online editing, uniformity and user-friendly nature so that it allows approved team members to upload and download text and images and edit files online.

7 – PROJECT SCHEDULING

Schedule management includes procedures focusing on time management of any projects. Scheduling in project management is done in iterations. When creating a schedule, project managers evaluate the work, timeline, and resources they predicted. Once a scheduling is done, the project manager is required to track the project performance and record the progress to make quality decisions. This requires proper communication and synchronization with project team members and stakeholders. Therefore, it is vital for the project manager to keep the stakeholders informed regarding the current status of the project. Work Breakdown Structure is one of the major milestones required to perform project scheduling. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a result-oriented assortment of the work involved in a project that defines the total scope of the project.

The process of developing schedule for a project must create a project schedule that allows doing the following tasks:

  • Closing: The schedule will define how all the work must be completed. So, a distinct work breakdown structure and superiority of the work is so important.
  • Realistic: The schedule must be flexible and provide accessibility to participate.
  • Accepted: The timetable must have “buy- in’’ from colleagues and partners, uniquely the recipients. There are some steps which aid to set the time while creating a new project, such as: Analysing, planning, deploying and updating the schedule. (PM4DEV, 2015)

10 – RISK REGISTERBackground

Those situations which involves an exposure to any kind of obstacles in the launch of project is known as risk. The strategies that are used to control or manage the risk is known as risk management. To manage the risk the register called risk register is approached. Risk register is known as the documentation of possible risk of the project. It identifies all the risks and documents its impact, probability, effect, causes and methods to prevent them happening. There are different types of risk register for different company and different project. The information is risk register is rapidly changing characteristics and evolving. Some primary entities of risk register are:

  • Risk Index
  • Title
  • Description

PROJECT REPORT

An Australian based IT Managed Services is SortCMS P/L. They as of now give a scope of Content Management System (CMS)/Website for outer clients. They are right now work in different enterprises and the most as of late for wearing associations. They have as of late won an agreement to give a CMS/Website (Extranet) that will utilized by Australian Women Soccer group (the Waltzing Matildas) group for pave the way to; and for the impending FIFA World cup in 2023 in Australia/New Zealand.

Our team member has got this project and has started outlining the business procedure wanted by the company and we also have to focus on technological factors required by the company to implement CMS based website that is re-usable later by other sporting organizations as well. The needed solution required built in up latest deliverables which should give satisfaction to the SortCMS P/L and its clients including the Waltzing Matildas. The newest development software must have developed data security and must be able to deal with current features as well. This Modules must have features like ability to store player details and statistics, team details and statistics, tracks sponsors, Souvenirs and saleable and will focus on FIFA world Cup 2023 exclusively.we proposed best project budget to decide total cost for the venture to complete.

This newest development in CMS program will support SortCMS P/L IT organization to boost up their problems and will keep an eye in client site setting. To gain our project success efficiently and on a given timeframe the given task was divided into different sections among the group members We intentionally built venture charter that includes cost info, advantages, hazards, its achievement criteria and ultimately roles and duties specifically to each participant of the group. Along with it we worked on preparing project structure with scale announcement, WBS. We also created PERT Chart. Finally, risk registry and so on. we proposed best project budget to decide total cost for the venture to complete.
GROUP ACTIVITY REPORT

Group participation:

In this project we have a group of 3 members including myself Meelisha Mahara Sanjay and Kiran Tams. We decided to give a name for our group and called it Three Star Group. All of the members put their best efforts with whatever knowledge they have in order to accomplish this project. As we were stranger to each other we faced difficulties in the beginning but however we become close to each other by connecting to social media. We created a group in WhatsApp and also shared our numbers so that we can have prompt communication with each other. Each individual were very concentrate toward the project and were deciding on how can we do our project ? what sorts of steps we need to perform to get the best out of our project ? and what could be the possible obstacles during the project time?

Shared of Responsibility: To limit the work load to single individual we had shared our responsibility among the group members so that we can complete the task within the given timeframe. For this project first part we need to accomplish was Project Charter, for this sanjay was responsible. He came with the idea of Project Charter and Kiran in the other hand help him with the correction and recheck of it. I did the stakeholder register part and on this part both of them help me to correct my mistakes. So on we had to put the budget estimation part and project scheduling part. On this we three called a face to face meeting in Kiran’s house. We three sat and complete this section addition to this we complete the work breakdown structure. Another important part was risk register part which was completed by Mr. Kiran. Conclusion and references was written by sanjay and me. In this we shared almost equal responsibility to each other and finish our project within the given time frame.Each individual were very concentrate toward the project and were deciding on how can we do our project ?

Group member interaction: we had to have a lot of communication while doing this project but it was made easy my means of social media. For this we use mostly the WhatsApp platform where we sent and receive message regarding the project activities. We had a strong communication means we were listening to each other’s idea and sharing our as well. We learned how to lead a group so that how we can get the best out of us. Being a leader is not a easy job is what we faced. We also used emails to share our files and it made easy for us to recorrect the mistakes and sent it to each members quickly. We listen to each other’s feedbacks on the topic on which each were responsible. We also made a video conference call over zoom in order to have face to face interaction to talk about the project tasks.

Roles within team members: we had different roles in our project activity Meelisha was chose to be group leader among us and Sanjay and Kiran were the members of this group. We had shared almost equal responsibility however there was a certain more responsibility to a group leader. Group leader had to interact with the group members as well as with stakeholders as well. It was a bit difficult to had a meeting with the stakeholders however we tried our best to set a meeting with them. Interior communication was not disturbed as we were having daily communication. Task contribution of our member is shown in the pie chart below which gives a clear picture of members participation.

Documentation: sanjay was responsible for documenting of the files after the completion of small task such as project Charter, WBS, cost estimation, risk register and so on. He collect all the files from each members and combined it to a single file to give a complete document. We had to put the title page, table of contents and had to do in a different format like heading sizes, styles of text and so on. At the end all the files were documented correctly and properly and also we had stored the files in our drives in order to protect the files from loss.
