Assumptions
Following are the assumption made while the project of implementing the web-based system is
implemented:
1. The programmers and software developers are skilled.
2. The duration of the project completion is two to three months.
3. The compensation to the programmers and developers is given on hourly basis rather
than monthly basis.

additional approvals are required for the amendments to the budget. Following are the activities
included in the project schedule:
1. Project Plan
It includes the team structure, activities and task description, work breakdown structure
and independencies document.
2. Project charter
It includes the structure of the project, budget and constraints, deliverables and deadline
identification, and risk and assumption documentation.
3. Required document

setting, and documentation.
9. Risk management document

It includes risk identification, risk mitigation plan, and stockholders approvals.
10. Project closure
