4.6 Quality Plan for the Project
The quality plan for the project includes the quality requirements of the resources as well
as the quality of outcomes of the project. The hardware procured must fulfil industry quality
standards and the software used must have valid license and must be purchased from authorized
software vendor only. The final product of the project must be free from errors and should be
carefully tested before deployment.
4.7 Stakeholder Analysis for the Project
The stakeholder analysis for the project is conducted in the following table.
Stakeholder Roles
Program Director Supervision of the project and reporting to CEO
and CIO
Program Manager Management of the project and guiding the project
team members

4.8 Project Risk Management
The risks in the project are identified along with their mitigation plans as follows.
Risk Management Plan
Cyber security risk Installation of firewalls and anti-virus software
Lack of technical expertise among staff Provide training once the system is deployed
Lack of user acceptance Allow customers to understand the features of the
new system and receive feedbacks for further
improvement
4.9 Project Deployment
Once the integration and testing of the system is complete, it will be ready to launch and
once it is completely connected with central server, it will be launched. The company staff will

19PROJECT MANAGEMENT
be provided with training for managing and maintaining the entire system so as to streamline
every connected process with efficiency.

6. Post Project Review and Recommendations
Once the project is complete and system is launched, a detailed post project review is to
be performed by the Program Director in order to identify all the features implemented in the
system and also whether all the requirements are completed and fulfilled. If there are some errors
or missing features, the project may again be opened for further development. One
recommendation for the project is to focus on system security as the chances of cyber attacks
will increase once the data is migrated online to the cloud server.
7. Conclusion
It can be concluded that the project requires detailed planning in order to ensure all
features can be integrated within the same central system. It is been estimated that the project
will take around 6 months to complete and will consume a budget of around $300,000.
