The information system can be developed in any of the programming language and it will be required to procure a server and twenty five PCs to run the information system. It is required to configure the PCs with Windows 10 Operating System and to add them to the existing network. The software needs to be developed by the sub-contractors and the server is required to be set up and tested. Purpose of the Report The primary purpose of creating the report is to develop a project management plan for the information system. The report focuses upon the project scope, project costs, project schedule, communication, and project stakeholders. Scope Management Plan Project Stakeholders The key stakeholders of the project are: • Project Sponsor: The organization for which the information system is being developed will be the primary stakeholder of the project. • Project Subcontractors: The stakeholder group will be the project team that will be carrying out the task of design, development, and deployment of the system. • Supplier Groups: Server, twenty five PCs, and other tools will be supplied by the stakeholders (Atkinson, Crawford & Ward, 2006). • End-User: The end system users will provide their feedback on the system. • Project Steering Committee: The stakeholder will provide approvals and will act as the mediator between the sponsor and subcontractors. Problem Statement The information system that is being developed will allow the organization to get rid of the existing issues of data mismanagement, data duplication, slower processing speed, and manual errors. Project Goals & Objectives The goals and the objectives of the project are: • To develop the information system in the programming language determined without any defects in the final release. • To adhere to the functional and non-functional requirements during the system design and development phases. • To maintain the project schedule as per the estimations without any schedule variance at any stage. • To maintain the project budget as per the estimations without any cost variance at any stage (Wearne, 2014). Project Deliverables The main deliverables in the project will be: • Project Brief: It will be a document covering a brief of the information system requirements, project budget, resources, and schedule. • Project Plan: A detailed description of the project scope, methodology, costs, schedule, stakeholders, resources, communication, and procurement. • System Design: The wireframes and UI aspects will be covered in the system design document. • Source Code: The source code will be developed in the programming language determined by the senior management and technical experts. • Defect Report: The defect report will include the details of the bugs identified in the testing phase. • Completion/Closure Report: It will be the final deliverable of the project. Technical Requirements • Server: The information system will be deployed on the server. • PCs: There will be 25 PCs required to deploy the system. • NoSQL Database: The NoSQL database that will be used and implemented in the system will be MongoDB. • Development Tools: Microsoft Visual Studio • Testing Tools: Bugzilla, TestLink • Design Tools: Microsoft Visio, Sketch • Project Management Tools: Microsoft Projec
