Development of Project Management System

This document discusses the development of a project management system, including the functional and non-functional requirements of the software, project effort monitoring and tracking, and references. The system allows users to manage projects, track project progress, and store project data securely.

2DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Comprehensive Plan
Project Requirements
The non-functional and functional requirements of the new software which can be
accessed and modified by the users as described as below:
 Functional Requirements: The new software will wait for data to be accessible from
administrators. Each of the users must be signing up the software with personal details
such as name, role in the projects and experience of working in similar projects and
contact details. New projects can be added or dropped within a project or project
extension can be managed using the new software [4]. Measuring of the constraints will
be an integrated part of the new system. The new software will be supporting the overlay
applications and mobile network support as well. Thus, the entire process of a project can
be managed using the new software.
 Non-functional requirements: The non-functional requirements includes the products
requirements which are aligned with the project requirements, it will also consider the
user interface of the new system and the human factors. The user of this new system must
have all the basic idea about the functionality of the new system so that the efficiency of
the software is maintained [3]. Tracking of the project records and updating will be done
in an organized manner by this new software as well. The new system will not have any
compatibility or maintainability issue which can affect the project. Thus, all the quality
attributes of the project will be considered by this new system.

Project Effort Monitoring and Tracking
Monitoring of each level of the project can be done using the new project management
system. The new system will have a separate section which will allow the users to enter details
on a daily basis such as designing, coding, project management and testing [5]. All the details of
the data will be stored securely in the databases. The data entry steps of the new feature of the
project management system are listed below:
 Enter project name.
 View earlier entered requirements.
 Proceed or back to the project name.
 Select current date.
 Enter the effort in the number of person per hour.
 Select department of the concerned person.
 Save data
 Add/ edit data.
All these data can be stored and managed both at a daily basis and in a monthly basis.
Tracking each of the activities of the project team can be done using the new software. The new
system will also have an option which will be allowing the users to view the total expended
hours in each phase of the project [2]. The below diagram can be very much important to
understand the feature of the new system [5]. Dates can be selected and details can be manually
added in the new software based on the availability of the resources.
