Project background
The happy campers Australia is a 7-year-old company, and now it has become one of the most
recognized companies in the country. The happy campers Australia is conducting a project of
essential systems development through which they are going to process their new software,
hardware and support of IT systems to make their project a success. In this assignment, we will
discuss the goals and objectives of the development of an information project of happy campers
Australia that will make their ideas into a reality.
The proposed project of development information system is aiming to build high-quality
caravans in the Australian market as they have established themselves in the manufacturing field
by providing facilities in Sydney and Brisbane. They also deal with another network where they
can sell their products through the eastern seaboard. The company’s CEO is thriving to do a
sustainable business for its company.
Project goal
Following are critical goals of the proposed project:
 To increase brand awareness.
 To reach to remote area customers.
 To develop a business environment that monitors the performance of the organization.
 The development information project will focus on the customers that can eventually lead
them to build an excellent reputation by increasing the manufacturing, production, timely
delivery, warranty repairs and with unique designs (Agresti, 2018).
 Increased company growth in Western Australia due to the rise of potential customer
density
Project objective
With the implementation of the development of information system, the company is aiming to
satisfy their organizations operational, informational and management requirements. The
objective of the proposed project is to relate to the systems that have already been developed and
also to operate an effective and efficient manner.
Project Deliverables
Following are key deliverables of the proposed project:
 Plan on the project: The document will include all the aspects which the project has and all
the aspects which a product has to fulfil in the given time.
 Data analysis on the report: This document will include the result which is needed to be
procured or the project already has in it.

 Compliance reports: This document will address all the results of ethical and legal
compliance.
 Feasibility report: This report will include the determination which needs to be taken with
technical and operational feasibility (Ferenczi, 2019).
 Completion Report: The final report on the management will be given to the CEO, product
designs team and management team of the project.
 Risk management report: This document will comply with all the risks which are associated
with the project and the efforts the project team and manager can take to minimize it.
Strategic alignment of project
The project management staff primary strategy is to change their business direction by
continuing to focus more on international visitors to bring in more potential buyers for their
campervan business. Another strategy approaches the business is taking is to give more focus on
the hybrid approaches and to the wholesaling by bogging down the other dealers’ operations.
Even though there are many risks attached to it, the main objective of the strategic alignment is
to focus on the goals and objectives of the business (Friese, 2019).

Communication management plan
The happy campers Australia project on the development of information system is emerging to
be as one of the most robust industries that can give the Australia people a life to represent its
adventure, freedom, wanderlust in the vast possible way. The communication plan will help the
project to determine their lows and ups, which can eliminate the barriers that are stopping them
from going into the international market. As, well as the communication management plan will

help the business to identify the prospects of allocating budgets with effective communication of
team members all together (Braun et al. 2019).
Purpose of Communication Strategy
The fundamental purpose of the project is to inform about the progress made in developing the
proposed project. The communication strategies of the project can be shared with the external
and internal stakeholders of the project. The external stakeholders of the project are:
 Paul and Gary
The internal stakeholders of the project through which the communication plan and strategies
can be discussed are as follows:
 Product development team
 Project managers
 Steering committee
 Reference group
The communication strategy can also be discussed to set up the goals and objectives of the
project and to plan out the aspects of risks and development plans with effective communication
(Krippendorff, 2018).
Communications Strategy

short interval of time (Silverman, 2018).
 The meetings are one of the most effective internal management strategies that the
project managers can conduct to steer out the objectives and goals by discussing with the
team members on time and guiding the team on how they can give their best on the
project.

urgent requirements to the team members of the project.

the project (Cox, 2018).

to day reports and documents to analyze their progress on the project.
External Information Management

they can discuss the projects report and updates from the individual.
Emails

managers and team members can take the most benefit out as it helps to give information
related to growth and progress to the potential buyers.
 Through emails, the project managers and team members can also discuss their queries,

Report on internal communication activities

For internal communication, share point can be used as one of the useful tools to manage and
store the documents. The SharePoint can also be effectively used to collaboration with the
workspaces and also to minimize the privacy and security risks that are engaged with the
confidentiality of documents and reports. For the projected growth share point, can also be used
to add the private contact information about the employees working for the project so that the
stakeholders can track their information whenever they need (Chorley, 2019).

Report on external communication activities
The SharePoint can be used by the project managers to store the external documents, reports and
latest updates on the project. The SharePoint can also be used to minimize the data risks and the
security concerns that may be pervading in a business. The SharePoint can also be used as a tool
in the project to upgrade it for the security concerns of the business (Fryer, 2019).
The SharePoint can also be used for the interior individuals working the project to transfer the
reports and documents to the inner stakeholders in the project. The external communications
activity of the project also recommends that they can take advantage of social media platforms to
gain popularity and to tell the people in masses about the products and services of the project.
Recommendations
As every organization is putting their best efforts to emerge as market lead and wants to attain
sustainable growth, it is important for the organization to develop information system which the
company can use to access the information related to the organization.
The project development of information system needs to make sure that they take necessary
actions to prevent their budget issues, operational issues, financial issues and risks related to
entering into the new markets. The project can take the help of PMBoK methodology to make
various changes in the departments and also to emerge in the international markets of caravans to
explore more dealers and the potential buyers through their computer networks.
It is also recommended for the project that their goals and objectives must be in a confidential
manner as there are many other businesses that are emerging like them to make the popularity
among Australia. It is also recommended for the project that, to store their day to day updates,
project reports they can use the SharePoint as a medium to exchange of documents, report and
daily updates of the can operations. The SharePoint can also be used as a tool to minimize the
risks of security associated with the networks. For, the project it is also recommended that they
can use the various styles and networking styles to show their business over the other projects
that may include exhibiting in the markets (Little, 2019).
