Part 4: Controlling
The project has activities that need controlling and monitoring in order to develop the
ease of implication for the factors helpful in providing the definition of formation of successful
activities of implementation of Information System (IS). The project controlling is dependent
mostly on the factors that are specific for the successful implications were the activities have
eased the implication process. The factors that have successful alignment would control the
project and achieve success in the implication of defining the factors that are aligning by the ease
of those factors that are utilized. Project control is the gathering, managing as well as analysis of
data that is utilized for the prediction, understanding as well as constructively influencing the
cost and time results of any specific project and program. This type of project control is done by
the information communication to obtain effective management and proper decision making.
The factors for controlling would depend successfully on the process as well as effective
communication. The significant implication of controlling and monitoring would be formed by
the implication management that is effective to form. Project controlling is done to know about
the recent changes in a project. The proper strategy or the undertaking planning methods
eventually help the project manager to optimize all the future outcomes. Moreover, this is even
helpful in estimating the costs and cost engineering or control. The proper management of risks
like the maintenance of risk register or risk analysis and assessment are done by the project
control in any typical project. The overall schedule and cost is also checked with the help of this
particular project phase. The factors would be simplified that are ease for utilizing the definition
of implication that has formation being done successfully. The work packages that each
individual have need to be completed and would be assisted for aligning the activities with
successive implication. The dependency of the project is completely based on the alignment of

10IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEM
the activities. The project is completely dependent on the activities having alignment with
successive inclusion which defines the formation of the activities to be improved. Due to this
dependency, it is not possible to execute a project without project control.
On the other hand, there is a formation of successful implication of the ease that has the
model of formation. The project completion would be effectively utilized which could help in
formation of activities with ease. The result of project usage could make the modification in the
formation of the information. The execution of the project plan is actually based on the
alignment which has the development of forming successfully about the factors that are inclusion
with the development of utilizing factors. The planning of the project is completely based on the
project of Implementation of Highland explore tour which is the actual implementation process.
The completion ease would be successfully deployed by the activities that would improve the
formation of activities. The deployment of alignment activities would ease the factors that are
aligning for the process of formation to be developed.
Part 5: Closing
The functional alignment is ease which would implied successfully by improving the
functional formation. The process of effective management in being utilize with the process of
effective implementation. The completion of the project helps the alignment factors that are to be
ease. Thus, the project has some lesson to be learnt that are discussed below:

Final Budget: Total budget for the project is $51,000
1. Did the project meet scope, time, and cost goals?
From the detail learning of the case project of development of Information System
in terms of website and mobile app I have realized that, scope time and goals the most
important project constraints to be considered for the successful implementation of the
project. At the early project development phase components are required to be estimated
by the system designer and project manager.
2. What was the success criteria listed in the project scope statement?
 Proper decision making to implement required changes in the project
 An achievable date of project delivery with the design of project schedule
 Less scope creep
 Internal coordination between the contractor and the suppliers
 Less range of project scope creep
 Availability for the project resources
3. Reflect on whether or not you met the project success criteria.
I think that the project success criterion for the information system development
project has been met within estimated time and budget. This is the role of the project
manager to complete the project within estimated time and budget. Proper Key

12IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEM
Performance Indicators for this project are also considered. Aligned quantitative methods
are also measured and stated for this project. The business objectives are also aligned
towards the project goal. During the project testing phase, it is defined that this project
will successfully deliver an error free and user friendly online official website and mobile
app for the consumers. All the project success factors are considered to meet the
expectation of the consumers.
4. In terms of managing the project, what were the main lessons your team
learned?
For successful implementation of the Information System (IS) the leading must be
played by the project manager and the operation manager of the project. They must play
their allocated job roles within estimated time boundary.
5. Describe one example of what went right on this project.
According to project details the thing that went right for this particular project
includes support and coordination from the project team members. Due to both internal
and external support the project is expected to be completed within time and budget.
6. Describe one example of what went wrong on this project.
I think that the only thing that went wrong in this project is improper project
budget design.
7. What will you do differently on the next project based on your experience
working on this project?
I think that the set of knowledge and skills obtained from the project are
extremely valuable for me and if I will apply those ideas in future then the project will
definitely meet the expectation of the consumers. I think that at the project initiation

13IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEM
phase the project goal set and scope should be designed. The one negative experience that
I have faced is associated to lack of action plan. I think that if proper action plans are
undertaken then the project will definitely meet the objectives.
 The activities are handle successfully for deploying the factors of the project for
effective implication
 The activities of marketing management is ensure effectively for the factors that
are implied the successful integration
 The factors having successful integration have effectively implied the progress of
the project for marketing
 The risk factors are reduce for the activities having effective alignment and ensure
the alignment and the process of risk management
 The management of risk is eased by formation of priority matrix of the risk and
planning of the risk mitigation
 The implication alignment activities has management of resources that could
develop the factors for effective integration
 The easing of the alignment need to be formed by using the resource alignment
formation for the development of improved activities
 The utilization factors is the in charge of alignment of the processes that needs to
be take care for the formation of effective formation
