2PROJECT PLAN
1. Introduction
The project is developed for implementing AI software for the retail organization as it
would help in forming effective and eased billing process. The integration would help in easing
the installation of the effective project formation for forming with the formation of the
successive utilization of the operations. The AI software formation would be helpful for forming
the installation of the operations supporting the integration of the improved services for the
integration of the activities supporting the utilization of the factors forming the installation of the
operations. The utilization of the project activities would be deployed for easing the installation
of improved system formation for the organization. The following assignment would be based on
the documentation of the project plan document.
2. Project objectives
The objectives of the project of “Implementing AI software for the retail organization”
are,
To develop an effective project plan that would help in implementing the AI software for
the retail organization
To ensure that the project plan is completed in the estimated time for the project
To develop and implement the AI software capable for the improvement of the operations
3. Organizations objectives
The retail organization has implemented the AI software project for their organization in
order for achieving the long term goals by easing their short term goals. The organization had

3PROJECT PLAN
been largely responsible for the various services and operations and it would help in listing the
integration of the factors supporting the utilization of the functions. The objectives of the
organization are,
Improvement of the operations: The improvement of the operations would be supported
by the utilization of the AI software for the processing of their activities. The activities would be
aligned for the easing the faster processing of the functions and it would also help in listing the
improvement of the operations defining the implementation of the activities for supporting the
integration of the improved operations.
Growth of number of customers: The increase of the number of the customers would be
supported the implementation of the AI software as it would allow the formation of the ease of
faster operations. The customers can get the support of faster data management with the help of
AI software and self installation of the operations.
4. Project scope
The project of implementing AI software for the retail organization is developed for
ensuring that the software can be developed and implemented for the retail organization. The
project scope involves the following points,
Formation of AI software: The AI software formation would be aligned with the
implementation of the factors supporting the utilization of the smart functional and formation
process. The AI software formation would be the primary scope of the project formation as the
retail organization would require the installation of the operations required by the organization.

4PROJECT PLAN
The AI software formation project is implied for easing the support and integration of the
effective installation of the operations.
Completion of Project: The project of implementing AI software for the retail
organization has been set with the criteria of implementing the effective project formation. The
successful project completion would be based on the limitation of the operations for developing
the integration of the activities. The timely completion of the project would support the listing of
the factors forming the utilization of the operations.
Management of the Quality: The management of the quality would be based on the
simplification of the activities for forming with the formation of the operations. The quality
management would be deployed for easing the installation of the effective support and
integration. The quality management would be based on the utilization of the factors for forming
the simplification of the activities forming the utilization of the improved technology.
5. Project assumptions
The project of implementing AI software for the retail organization would be deployed
for easing the operations of the retail organization. The implementation of the factors of
formation would support the improved analysis of the facilities. The following are the
assumptions of the project,
Integration of the resources: The integration of the resources would be developed with
the help of the proper software processing. The foremost assumption of the project is the
acquisition of the resources for forming the successful integration of the factors (Avgerou and
Walsham 2017). The resources for the project would be acquired before the completion of the

5PROJECT PLAN
activities. The resource integration would support the deployment of the activities for forming
the utilization of the factors developing the improved resources. The resource acquisition would
be largely based on the formation of the operations and developing the system formation and
integration. The resource accumulation would help the business formation for easing the process
of improved functional integration.
Support of the facilities: The support of the facilities would be based on the significant
integration of the operations. The facility formation would help in reacting with the utilization of
the operations (Obeidat and North 2014). The project team members and the infrastructure must
support the formation of the project. The AI software formation would be enhanced with the
installation of the facilities forming with the significant formation of the operations. The facility
formation would be eased with the formation of the influence of the factors forming the
installation of the improved operations. The existing facilities should support the formation and
implementation of the AI software for the retail organization.
Knowledge of technology: the knowledge of the technology is another major factor that
would be helpful for the integration of the AI software. The software support and management
would be eased with the symbolic formation of the operations (Aykin 2016). The technology
innovation and the formation of the support for the project formation would be supported by the
installation of the improved facilities for developing the integration of the improved functional
formation. The analysis of the technology support would ease the utilization of the factors
forming with the improvement of the operations with the help of technology formation.
6. Project roles and responsibilities
