MOV the project will be able to provide successful ad secured outcome.
2. Part two: Scope management plan
2.1 Defining scope and producing scope management plan
The scopes of the project are as follows:

5. Part five: Quality management plan
5.1 Team’s philosophy
In order to ensure the quality of any project it is necessary for the project manager to develop
accurate team philosophy to keep the project team members engaged to their tasks. No project is there

problems are required to be avoided accordingly. The philosophy of the project team is to deliver the
consumers a secured, affordable, effective and efficient online ticket booking system. Through the help of
this system the consumers would be able to book tickets from anywhere and anytime. In addition to this,
the general sets of ethics are required to be considered by the project manager during the project
development phase.
5.2 Activities to ensure project quality
In order to ensure the quality of the online ticket booking system followings are the considered
steps:
 Quality audit and review
 Specification of hardware and software requirements
 Analysis the project development processes
 Project quality auditing
