Introduction
Pashendale Holdings Ltd (PHL) is a construction organization that is operating in Australia.
According to the information provided by the chief executive officer, the management of the
organization is considering to update its current website in order to provide more information
to customers. Various changes are expected to be brought in the new website and this report
will be focused on the development of a statement of work specifically for the purpose of this
website redevelopment project (Kerzner, 2019). The official website of any business
organization is one of the most important tools of communication between customers and
business organizations. An effective and efficient official website can help in developing a
two-way communication channel which helps in getting feedback and queries of customers.
Business organizations can easily improve quality products and services with the help of
effective and efficient communication channels.
In the given scenario the new website is expected to provide important information to
customers such as new building developments, client testimonials, recent company news, and
other industry information (Heldman, 2018). The main focus of this project management
activities will be to ensure for development of a friendly website that will help in enhancing
the quality of communication between customers and business management. The
management of PHL does not have any internal information technology development
department. It can be said that the experience and skills available with the management for
the development of the new website are very limited. This is the reason that management of
the organization has contacted the website design contractor for the website redevelopment
project (Qian, 2017). All of the necessary project management activities will be undertaken
by this contractor and final approval will be provided by the chief management officer.
