Introduction
Project design and implementation are the core phases of the project as these are critical to achieve the
desired outcomes with the consideration of the constraints. The report will consider the case study of the
Bandcamp.com to integrate two new features on the website, online audio or video streaming and online
customer services. The report will formulate the project design specification and determine the factors
working on the project selection. Specification as well as plan will be proposed for the project. Later, the
report will use the agreed specification to implement the project with the availability of the resources
and analysis of the outcomes. Project evaluation and data interpretation techniques will be discussed on
the project and recommendations will be provided to improve the project in later versions. The project
design and implementation will consider the business scopes and capabilities throughout the activities to
meet the desired goals.

Task 1
1.1 Formulate and record possible outline project specifications
Overview of Bandcamp
Bandcamp operates as an American Online music organization and act as a common platform for
sharing and selling music to wide range of consumers. Some of the artists involved in the
organization are Steward Smith and Andy Thomas. Artists make efforts to connect customers
directly through the website.
Role of project life-cycle
Project life Cycle involves initialisation, planning along with execution and implementation.
Current project at initial stage helps to understand and develop the concept. Planning stage involved
in entire management cycle is related to integration of video and audio streaming as well as
customer services via website (Lock, 2017). Project execution looks into the quality along with
performance to meet desired objectives. Last stage includes monitoring, controlling and closure
includes project completion with minimum utilisation of resources.
