Task 1. Approach to Systems Development
The agile iterative approach should be used for development of the new online donation
system for Go Help Me. The activities included in the project are,
Sprint 1: The first sprint involves the initialization of the work including the activities of
collection of information, developing project charter, PID documentation, and submission of
documents. The milestone of the sprint is Kick off which symbolizes the analysis of the project.
Sprint 2: The second sprint involves the development of the plan for executing the project
works including the activities of activity identification, scheduling plan, and complete plan
development. The milestone of the sprint is Plan Approval which symbolizes the plan of the project
to be approved.
Sprint 3: The third sprint involves the development of the design for the online donation
system including the activities of selection of design platform, outlining the design for donation
system, and complete design development. The milestone of the sprint is Design Approval which
symbolizes the design of the project to be approved.
Sprint 4: The fourth sprint involves the development of the online donation system for Go
Help Me including the activities of system interface is developed, functions are listed, programming
the functions, integration of the database, security system are installed, and complete system is
developed. The milestone of the sprint is System Approval which marks the completion of the
system developed.
Sprint 5: The final sprint of the project involving the testing and final documentation of the
project including the activities of final testing, documentation of the test results, submission of
documents, review and sign off. The milestone of this sprint is closed which results in the final
completion of the project.
Agile methodology would be helpful for improving the effective work alignment with the
continuation of the improved work alignment (Harrison and Lock 2017). The agile methodology
would form the effective approach for the iterative innovation management. The agile activities
would be integrated with the formation of the work and listing of the innovative work integration.
The client information management would involve the listing the integration and formation of the
works (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). The agile methodology would help in dividing the work into
specific works and alignment of the innovative implication management.

WBS
The WBS shows the specific work packages of the project and it involves the breakdown of
the activities into specific sprint of the project. These work packages have been shown in the Gantt
Page 5

chart along with the duration and the timeline (Verzuh 2015). The completion of the work would be
specifically aligned for the development of the Online Donation System for Go Help Me. The
Summary tasks of the Gantt chart are the work packages of the WBS diagram. The activities are same
as listed in both WBS and Gantt chart diagram.
The project schedule has been developed with the alignment of the specific work alignment
and the implication of the activities. The project schedule has been developed with the alignment of
the specific work alignment and development. The project schedule would be supported by the
alignment of the system requirements, goals, and project goals.
The schedule is reasonable as it has followed the agile iterative approach with 5 sprints
aligned for the development of the successful implication management. The five sprints would be
integrated with the formation of the successive listing management. The sprint would be evaluated
with the formation of the successive alignment management.

The 3 most useful investigation techniques include the surveys, questionnaire, and interviews
(Nicholas. and Steyn 2017). These methods have specific method of collecting the information and
the deployment of the information. The explanation and the usefulness of these three methods is
given below,
Method Explanation Usefulness
Survey Done in bulk by sending some questions to the
people for gaining information specifically
Collects mass information and
can be either co-related or not
Questionnaire Closed ended questions is used for collecting
information and can be done both individually
or in bulk
Individual and mass information
collection on a topic specifically
Interviews One to one questions and answers helpful for
developing the improved work alignment
Individual aspect on a divergent
topic

Reflections and Conclusions
I have been able to use the concept of the project management and the implication of the
work successfully. It was very important for forming the management of the successful completion
of the works. I used the tools like Gantt chart, WBS, and Cost Benefit Analysis for analysing the
project. The scheduling of the activities would be supported by the formation of the improved
analysis.
The project of ‘Online Money Donation System for Go Help Me’ had aimed for developing an
online system for effective donation works for the deployment of the effective and smart work
confinement. The completion of the project had resulted in development of improved donation
system for forming the alignment innovative work alignment for Go Help Me, dealing with the
current issues of the organization and improving work culture, and easing the accounting data
information management by the organization on an integrated platform. The system has helped in
assisting customers seeking information by forming the automatic storage of the information and
providing an end of the year statement.
