As opined by Alcorn, Good and Pain (2013), Project Management Plan is a document
that has been developed for forming the improved and systematic processing of the
information. It was formed for integrating the development functions for the organization.
The project management plan consists of some steps namely assess, initiate, plan, control,
stabilize, and close. The activities of the project would help in forming the installation of two
servers and 10 computers in the organization. The document would be developed for
integrating the functions of implementation and it would form the improved and systematic
processing of the organization. The plan of project management would help in phasing the
activities of the project in different sub-projects and then developing the server
implementation in the organization. The effective project management plan improvement
constitutes the implementation of the improved and systematic processing of the organization
(Behl and Behl 2012). The implementation of the improved and systematic operations would
help in forming the system improvement of operations.
The project management plan consists of developing the effective role of the
operations and it would form the effective control of the functions in the organization. The
plan consists of 5 phases namely project initiation phase, project implementation phase,
project planning phase, project monitoring phase, and lastly project closing phase (Bommer,
Crowley and Pinho 2015). The initiation phase would help in requirement analysis,
developing initial documents, making the project charter documents, submitting the initial
documents and charter for approval, and approval of the initiation documents. The planning

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
phase includes the analysis of the requirements of the project, developing outline for the plan,
reviewing the plan outline with requirements, making complete plan for the project, client's
requirement is considered, network components are considered for design, structure and
design outlay are made, evaluation of the design, completion of the design, and site planning
is developed. The implementation phase includes basic infrastructure is formed, computer
machines are purchased, computer devices are set up, network routers and switches are
installed, network components are aligned as per design, software and tools are installed in
the device, and programming is done (Borgman, Mubarak and Choo 2015). The project
testing phase includes testing of the network components and execution of the server
components. The project closure phase consists of making final report is developed,
submitted for sign off, signed off, and project is closed.
