Pharmacy App Design & Implementation: Project Schedule, Budget & Plan

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a pharmacy application, including the establishment of database servers and hardware infrastructure. The project plan encompasses several key phases: initiation, planning, execution, close-out, and completion. The schedule details tasks ranging from project charter design and technical requirement planning to software development, testing, and system analysis. Resource allocation includes roles such as project manager, IT manager, software developers, and pharmacy consultants, with associated staffing costs outlined. A comprehensive budget is provided, covering all project activities, hardware, and technical support. The project also includes a Gantt chart for visual representation of the timeline and milestones. The ultimate goal is to create a functional application for local pharmacies to streamline prescription orders and delivery processes, aligning with the company's objectives to reduce customer wait times.
