PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The aim of this report is to present the cloud-based software as a solution for the
expansion being led by the Lizzie Belt Company. The target market for the organization was the
online customers and the proposed solution was to develop a web portal in manner to allow the
customers and the employees of the organization to utilize better and enhanced experiences. It
will enhance the interaction of the employees of the different centers and establishing an
effective network for them. This report focuses on the best-suited approach for the delivery of
the project and identifying the crucial processes needed to be accomplished for the efficient and
successful delivery of the project. It also explains the activities and schedule of the project that
needed to be accomplished without hampering for the growth and development of the project.
Project Management Approach
Agile Scrum methodology can be recommended as the best approach for the developing
the web portal for the Company as it has been the best-suited methodology for the development
of the software for any organization. Conde et al. (2017) explained the development of the Agile
Scrum Methodology has a clear perception on the objectives and goals presented for the software
development and implementation of any software technology. Waterfall can also be implemented
within the project, as it is best suited for the development of a project consists of continuous
phases followed by another. However, looking at different phases and steps included in the Agile
Scrum Methodology, it can be recommended as the best option for this implementation within
the existing system (icholas and Steyn 2017). This methodology will include the project
initiation, planning, execution, controlling and monitoring, and project closure and that is all the
company needs now.
