1. Part A: Defining the project
The Glenelg Hopkins CMA was developed during 1997. This happened under the CALP Act
or “Catchment and Land Protection Act” during 1994. Again, the yearly financial requirements of
certain have been embodied under the 1994’s “Financial Management Act”. They are also liable for
particular activities within the 1989s Water Act. The Information and Communication Technology
or ICT project managers coordinates plans and manages a wide range of tasks. This includes the
setting budgets, timelines and providing tasks under the telecommunication projects and information
technology. In the following study, the project is defined along with establishing the project. Then
the project plan is analyzed with monitoring and administering the project. Lastly, the project is
finalized and reviewed.
1.1. Preparing the project scope plan:
Project Name Project No: Project Manager Start date
Background data:
Problem/opportunity
<The project is helpful as without that the clients and teams get exposed
to various chaotic management and unclear objectives. Moreover, there
are a lack of resources, high risks, unrealistic planning, deliverables of
poor quality and projects going on delivered ate and over budget
(Blaskovics 2016)>
Where the organisation has 2 distinct locations but in one location user
claimed that they are using offline versions of corporate data for
interrogation which is a problem where they can update with a single
central server location can be an opportunity.

Cant access through remote locations but can be used if cloud based
system is introduced with the help of internet.
Organisation and
Project objectives
< The indicators are intended to encompass sectors like time of
completion, quality and budget>
Using Cloud system.
Having a GIS platform aligned with CMA ICT implementation
Operational roadmap for upgrades.
Gap identification
