TASK 2
Introduction
Project lifecycle stages are phases that which is used to break a project in few stages that
helps in developing a path for completing a project successfully from start to end (Keshta, 2019).
This project will lay emphasis upon a contract of constructing ‘The pandemic centre’. The main
aspects to be completed in this project are: install, test and commission the IT and
communication infrastructure for ‘The Pandemic centre’. For completion of this project, whole
project will be divided into project lifecycle stages that will help in successfully completing this
project in an appropriate manner. Main project lifecycle stages in which this project has been
divided into are: initiation stage in which in which definition of project will be given in order to
explain what this project is all about and all the main aspects of the project will also be provided.
Second phase is planning stage of project in which planning of whole document will be
provided, then work breakdown structure will be constructed, overall budget of the project will
be described, then third stage is execution stage in which implementation and testing of whole
project will be done including installation of all the IT equipment’s etc. Next stage is monitoring
stage in which monitoring of whole project will be done, risk assessment will be done and last
stage is closure stage in which complete project is closed and evaluation of whole project is
done.
Project initiation stage
Define project: this project is about installing, testing and commissioning IT and
communication infrastructure for newly constructed ‘The Pandemic centre’. For making
provision of IT facilities for marketing and booking, TV and telephone provision for Conference
and activity Halls, CCTV, and appropriate IT facilities in meeting rooms in a conference centre.
Scope of project: scope of project is to install high quality IT infrastructure such as CCTV, TV,
telephone, internet etc. this project is required to be completed in approximately 20 months and
within allotted budget of £1,500,000.00.
Sponsors of project: this whole project will be sponsored by Docklands Communications Ltd.
Priorities of project: priorities of the project is to identify all the important IT infrastructure
equipment’s that are required to be installed in an appropriate manner. After identifying main
requirements to be installed, next priority is to test and then install all the required equipment’s
for development of an effective IT infrastructure.

Cost of project: overall cost of the project in which it is required to be installed is £1,500,000.00.
Technical justification: It is important to develop a fully high tech it infrastructure so that all
kinds of services can be provided online, any kind of meeting can be conducted without
requirement of presence of all the people. Due to this it becomes important to include all kinds of
high- tech equipment’s within this the pandemic centre.
Economic justification: before selecting all kinds of equipment’s to be installed it is extremely
important to identify quality and overall cost of each equipment so that overall cost of this
project is not exceeded.
Planning stage for the project
Document all the important requirement of the project: all the important requirement of this
project are first of all documented like installation of TV, CCTV, telephone, internet, etc. all the
IT infrastructure equipment’s required for pandemic centre will be identified. Other than this,
other requirements such as number of people required to work on this project, equipment’s,
software’s required for monitoring whether project is on correct tract are also required to be
identified.
Develop work breakdown structure and final cost or budget: overall cost required for completing
this project on times is £1,500,000.
Risk assessment: before starting execution of project risk assessment will be done for
identification of risk associated with project that are likely to occur and can impact whole
project.
Implementation and Monitoring: lastly implementation and monitoring of this project will be
done as per the develop project plan.
Work breakdown structure
WBS or Work breakdown structure in project management is very important part of
project because it shows the number of activities which has to be carried in project (Mattheys,
2019). It has major activities which is followed by sub activities (Onalaja, Cheung and
Samwinga, 2018). it is also called as deliverable oriented breakdown structure of project (Wu
and et.al., 2019). as it breaks project into smaller component in order to make project simpler to
understand.
