1.0 Introduction
This report tends to put a significant emphasis on the different aspects related with the
implementation of the computer information systems within the environment of an
organization. The overall system will deal with the identification as well as implementation
of the different modules, which tends to emphasize the organizational performance. The
report will provide the statement of the scope as well as intends to deal with the different
modules related with the installation of the computer systems. The overall project is
associated with the different establishments of the computers with the proper installation of
the software as well as development of the hardware systems (Beckham, 2016). The
significant procedures that are associated with the overall development of the management
system are potentially associated within this report. The server development within the
organization is also depicted as an important requirement that is associated in respect to the
report. This report will potentially deal with the effective management of the overall details
that are related with the project management principles thus enhancing the development as
well as software installation within the associated PCs within the stated organization.
2.0 Statement of Scope
The scope in respect to the development of the information systems within an
organization is depicted to be an important aspect within this report. The overall requirements
of the projects as well as the importance of those requirements are suggested to be an
important overview that are analysed within the report (Sareminia et al., 2016). The scope of
the overall requirements are depicted to be useful for the successful fulfilment as well as
accomplishment of the project. The significant instances of the project management principle
are adhered in respect to the development of the information systems within the environment
of the organization. The implication of the project management system within an

3IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
organization is analysed to provide the overall management of the organization with the
enhanced implied features so that the goals as well as the objectives of the organization can
be easily met (Harrison & Lock, 2017). The overall steps adhered with respect to the
implementation of the information systems within an organization states eh organization must
potentially adhere the usage of the noteworthy aspects of the project management so that the
organization may tend to develop the implied sectors in an enhanced manner (KARURU &
OKOLA, 2015). The significant features of the project management aspects deals with the
effectiveness as well as enhanced infrastructure of the overall organization. The aspects of the
different project management tools will significantly deal with the overall project
enhancement thus maintaining a significant approach within the organizational environment.
The implication of the different project management systems associated with the
organization for the development of the computer systems in both the sectors of hardware as
well as software is intended to provide effective services within the premises of the
organization (Bolsunovskaya et al., 2018). The significant considerations in respect to the
associated modules such as the overall stakeholder analysis as well as the effective
consideration of the communication module is analysed to provide effective amplification to
the overall development of the computer systems within an organization (Ramos-Torres &
del R Rodriguez-Orellana, 2015). The overall development of the implied computer systems
within the organization is depicted to be enhanced with the impact of the implied project
management principles. The significant systems can be implied within the organizational
context thus enhancing the overall implication of the systems installed within the
organization. The organization intends to signify the implication of the different modules so
that the services may be amplified accordingly. The organization will intend to provide an
effective knowledge in respect to the implementation of the project management tools thus
emphasizing on the overall trends associated with the implication procedure.

4IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The overall implication of the different systems within the organization significantly
deals with the implications of the various modules that will amplify the implementation
procedure (Sanchez, Terlizzi & de Moraes, 2016). The potential constraints related with the
cost of the hardware, the planning approaches in respect to the implementation of the new
systems within the organization. There are also certain other constraints related with the
requirements of the PCs as well as the server installation within the computer.
The overall discussion in respect to the project deals with the significant constraints
associated with the implementation of the computer systems within the specific organization
(Handzic & Bassi, 2017). The next sections of the report will be dealing with the significant
constraints that are to be adhered by the organization to effectively implement the new
requirements within an organization.
3.0 The Project Estimates
The significant approach that will be used in respect to the implementation of the
computer systems is identified as the approach of the bottom up that will use the ROM model
(Aboaoga, Ab Aziz & Ibrahim, 2018). This approach tends to provide a significant standard
in respect to the hierarchy of the management that enhances the overall decision-making
procedure to be analysed thus making the overall implementation procedure to be effective in
regards to the associated case study. This also tends to imply the origination of the
implementation procedure from the lower levels of the management until the upper layer (Li
et al., 2015). Thus, it provides an efficient way in regards to provide an effective direction to
the overall management of the project. The potential cost estimations to the overall planning
of the project is depicted to be a significant approach provided by the adhered approach. The
estimate of the overall project will be dealing with the significant implication of the different

procurement planning deals with the overall significance of the different processes that are
being adhered with respect to the various requirements as well as the potential scopes related
to the case study is depicted to be analysed within the procurement planning. The overall
management of the computers, the components related to the development of the systems as

11IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
well as the servers are analysed to be provided within this effective plan. The steps that are
adhered within the development of the procurement plan is depicted to be as follows:
Analysing the specification: The overall management of the components as well as designing
the overall systems with respect to the different hardware as well as the software parts are
analysed in this step. The management of the overall specifications stated by the clients are
relatively judged as well as focused while designing the overall systems (Kliem & Ludin,
2019). These specifications are critically analysed in respect to the provided specifications
thus acknowledging the processes that will initiate the significant procedure associated with
the project.
Selection of the various suppliers: This significant part of the project procurement planning
deals with the effective selection of the potential suppliers related with the development of
the project (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). These distributors are chosen in respect to their
previous experiences within this field. The potential supply of the different components
related with the project is analysed to be the main criteria related with the selection of the
suppliers. This will also intend to provide effective significance to the overall execution of
the project.
Managing the project: The significant planning of the procurement plan will also identify the
potential areas that will be related with the processing as well as execution of the procedure
thus analysing the suppliers, the associated team members as well as the different aspects
related with the execution of the project. The significant plan will also deal with the fact of
the financial adherences that will enhance the project to be significantly managed as well as
executed thoroughly.
Controlling the overall project: This step in accordance to the project procurement planning
deals with the fact that the overall details associated with the project are analysed as well as
