Project and Quality
Management
For Dog Save Australia

Introduction
• Project Management is used for developing applications that are used by the
organizations.
• Project management follows five different stages for completing the project
(Butler, Vijayasarathy and Roberts 2019).
• First step includes initiation phase, second is the planning phase, development
phase, testing phase and the project closure phase.
• With project management approaches, technologies and strategies, developers
find developing the application more easily.

Background
• The case chosen for this project is developing a web based application
system for the Dog Save in Australia.
• The organization works as welfare organization for saving the dogs and
other animals in Australia.
• This organization is mainly a community based organization that depends
on gifts and donations from the dog lovers so that it can maintain its
operations.

organization.
• The objective of this project is:
• To develop a detailed project plan for developing the new application for the
organization.
• To develop a risk management strategy and stakeholder management for completing
the project.
