Part Four: Reflection
The project of developing the Stud Management System for New South Wales for the
RALS is an IT based project that would involve the use of the successive alignment of the
operations and utilizing the implication of the technology innovation. We were able to use the
implication of the technology innovation for the development of the successive integration of the
activities. The study has been successful for the deployment of the functions aligning the
implication of the project management and technology innovation for the project. We deployed
effective communication and also allowed the implementation of the operations favouring the
development of the successive integration of the operations. We used the concept of project
management as a major factor for the implication of the technology implementation for the
project. The analysis would also be helpful for forming the alignment of the operations for
website development of Stud Farm in New South Wales. The analysis of the operations had
helped us in forming the appropriate system development for the Stud Farm.
The use of the skills like the IT knowledge, communication skills, conflict management,
and skilled communication would be helpful for us in developing proper project plan. The
analysis would allow the utilization of the improved operation development so that effective
management of the operations can be implied. We came to know about the resource usage plan
should be developed, budget estimation can be done using top down estimation or bottom up
estimation, agreed elements of the contract is included in the contracts, human skills and
proficiency is known, and final deliverable is achieved for the project. However, we needed to
face the problems of the availability of the material resources is unknown, flexible standard rates
of the costs are unknown, violation of the contract would impact the parties equally, availability
of the resources is unknown, and implementation of the maintenance plan is unsure. The

completion of the study had assisted us in developing better understanding of the information
