Project Management Plan
Introduction
Project Background
The project includes the development and implementation of an information system using C#
as the programming language. There is set up that will be required for system deployment. It
will require a server and twenty five personal computers so that the information system is
deployed. The PCs shall be enabled with Windows 10 as the operating system.
Purpose of the Report
The report is a project plan that highlights the project estimations, project scope, project
resources, stakeholder, schedule, budget, procurement, and communication.
Scope Management Plan
Project Stakeholders
 Project Client: The information system will be demanded by an organization to be
deployed in it and the requirements & funds of the information system will be
arranged by the stakeholder.
 Project Subcontractors: The responsibility of developing the software will be on the
subcontractors.
 Vendors: 25 PCs with Windows 10 Operating System, Server, and development tools
will be required (Atkinson, Crawford & Ward, 2006).
 End-User: The information system will be accessed and utilized by the end system
users.
 Project Management Board: The decision-making authority and change approvals will
be done by the board. The stakeholder will also conduct audits and reviews.
Problem Statement
There are issues of data mismanagement in the organization along with the increased
frequency of manual mistakes. The deployment of information system will make sure that

programming language.
 Defect Report: The details of defects in the system with status, id, resource, and
priority levels.
 Final Report: The last deliverable will be the final closure report on the system.
Technical Requirements
 Server: The information system being developed will be deployed using the server.
 PCs: 25 personal computers with Windows 10 Operating System.
 MySQL Database
 Microsoft Visual Studio as the development tool
 HP Quality Centre
 Microsoft Visio as the design tool
 Microsoft Project for scheduling and tracking
