Then a task list is to be created where every needed stage is to be visualized. The tasks are to be broken
down into various activities that are to be accomplished. It will be helpful to estimate how long the project
would take and the resources are required (Halpin, Lucko and Senior 2017). Next, a timeline is to be set.
A reasonable amount of time is to be allowed for various unforeseen concerns. This can involve the site-
enduring technology that has been taking longer to think. The timeline setting is useful to guide the
process and enable the change plans as required (Li et al. 2017). Further, a budget is to be established
and the team is to be assembled. For this, a team leader is to be involved who can make smart financial
decisions. Here, the designer is to be involved as per the project scale. Apart from this familiar graphic
designer and the team might require the UX or User Experience designer, interaction designer and
creative designer. Further, the client-side develope, also known as the UI or User Interface designer,

wireframing. Again, there is the web application development. Here, the web application framework and
architecture is to be created. Then, the database structure is to be designed (Yeung 2019). Further, the
web application classes, libraries and modules are to be developed and customized. Lastly, the
development and deployment of every functionality are to be finished. At last, there should be a bug fixing
and beta testing.
Regarding deployment, the first step is preparation. Next, the DNS records are to be set. Further,

For training, there are notable web project distinct issues that are to be overcome. However, the entire
method of developing the complicated site must go through some major stages that must be through
before crafting the ultimate project planning and the proposal documents. The training plan must include a
site definition and plan. Then the information architecture is to be understood. Next, site design and
construction is to be understood. Next, the site marketing s to be trained along with an effective study

The benefits of the project scope statement would deliver PHL to undertake a new initiative. This
can articulate what the project can entail such that the stakeholders can know what is included. It is
helpful to provide the roadmap that managers can utilize for assigning activities, schedule tasks and make
a suitable budget. Besides, it would help the team of members of PHL’s members to meet the common
aims (Yahaya, Ibrahim and Deraman 2017). Again, it is useful to protect the projects beyond the vision
established. Commonly, the project managers can seek the way to deploy the project scope to assure
that the projects can focus and execute the expectations. Further, the scope can deliver the strong
founding stone to manage the project as it progresses and assures that the resources are never wasted
and diverted on the elements that are out-of-scope. The project scope defining needs the input from
project stakeholders together with the project managers to deploy the primary elements of timeline,
quality, objectives and budgets (Faruk 2016). For determining the project scope, the project managers
can gather requirements for the stakeholders requires from the projects. It involves the project
deliverables and objectives as the project requires to get completed and the amount they can pay for that.
Here, the aim is to collect and record accurate and precise data as the process goes on ( Canziani and
Welsh 2016). This helps the project scope to effectively reflect every requirement, develop the scopes of
project leaders, and deliver products. It is helpful to meet the expectations of stakeholders within budget
and time.

design contractor is required to perform some specific tasks. At the planning step, the contractor needs to
generate and deliver the PHL of the detailed plan of project. This involves the transition plan, training
plan, implementation plan, testing plan, work breakdown structure and schedule. Then, the contractor has
needed to provide the plan of project to PHL. This is been intended for approval and review. T the design
and definition phase of project, project contractor should be at first working with PHL. This is to collect
requirements and then deploy the metrics. It is been intended to develop the site design on the platform of
requirements collected. Thus the development of site of design proposal for the approval and review f

Acceptance Criteria
The current study intends to define the ways in which PHL can accept the deliverables that have
been retrieved for the present statement of Work. Here, the acceptance of the deliverables has been
defined clearly and evaluated by every party. It helps in understanding how every party can understand
the time when the task gets acceptable, ways of its acceptance and the person authorized for the task.
The Acceptance criteria for the present project development is as follows. Firstly, the first user story has
been demonstrating the feature of the webpage search. From one end, the user intends to search the
webpage and seeks the required data. As per the requirement, the acceptance criteria from the
developer’s end would be consideration demonstrated hereafter. Here, the user must search for items
through its item. The developer must let the user think that he is provided with the role of a guest or a
registered user. As he opens the page of the ‘products” then the system displays the product list. The
system must permit the search section and fill up the search area through the name of the current item
present within the list. Next, the user must click for applying and the system permits the products in
search results with various products names that are matched with the product name entered. Hence, the
system displays various search results in the search result section (Lin, Wang and Chen 2019). Again, let
the acceptance criteria regarding the Feedback Form page be considered. The user must consider that
as a website user, he expects to submit the feedback. Hence, the website owner should be considering
his concern and opinion for further website upgrades. Here, the acceptance criteria for the functionality
piece from the developer's end must be following. User can provide the form of feedback with valid
information. The developer must think that it is in the user’s mind that provided with the role of the gust
user o logged-in user, as he opens the feedback page, the system can display a submit feedback form.
This must consist of the email, name, comment and other fields that are needed. Next, he should be filing
the email field with a valid address. After successful submission, the system must display hey he has
submitted the feedback successfully. Lastly, the system would clear the areas to submitting a feedback
form (Yahaya, Ibrahim and Deraman 2017).
Again, let another specific user story and acceptance criteria to comment over the functionality on
any blog. Here, the users who are signed-in can just comment. Just the signed-in users can include the
comments. Here, the story of the user for the feature of “add a comment” should be that through signed-
in, the user could able to put a comment on the blog post. Hence, one can get feedback on the concerns.
Here, the acceptance criteria for the functionality is that the signed-user can leave the comment over the
blog post. Provided one is in the role of the signed-in user as the users open the page having a particular

blog post. Next, the system would be displaying the section of “Comments: having the list of comments
included through the other type of users. Next, the system can display the “add comment” area over the
“comment section”. With the fill-in “add comment” area with the comment, the submit button must be
clicked. Next, the system can show the account, display the comment at the top of the comment section,
and show the profile picture and username beside the comment. Next, the system can show the options
of removing and editing the icons opposite to the comment. At last, there would be wrapping up section
(Dong and Liu 2016). As one can witness that writing down of the acceptance criteria has been like a win-
in task for both the parties, including the development teams and the client or user. This helps the team to
understand exactly what they have required to do. However, it keeps the client abreast towards the
process of development and let them to check the fact that software developed can meet the real
requirements of the business. PHL should never let the acceptance criteria and user stories to scare
them. Here, the time invested in demonstrating and making specifying every features are pay off. The
acceptance criteria servers s the platform for the test and sue cases assuring then one gain the business
and generate apps that are bug-free.
