Information System Project Plan
Project Plan
With only two years of operation, LiniolMR company has experienced tremendous growth and a growing client base. The company is expected to grow by sixty percent in the eighteen months. With such growth, the company ought to increase the capacity of data collection and analysis. An advanced information system is to be developed in leveraging data collection. The anticipated information will support the business of the company.
The first task is to assess the current information technology in the company, i.e., the hardware and software that support the company’s operation. This will be done in the first two days of the project. The hardware and software are redesigned to meet the needs outlined by the organization. The team leader of the project will consult several companies to allow the team to integrate their technologies and IT solutions in connection with the development of a technological system.
The on-site solution shall be leveraged in the development of the information system. It is a great resource for the project as it helps in delivering efficient, measurable, and engaging on-site experiences without the limitation of complexity and size of the events (Cha & Maytorena-Sanchez 2019). Reporting and analytics will be done towards the end of the project. Cloud computing technologies and software as-a-Service is of interest in the project.
The cloud computing technology, i.e., the hardware, software, and infrastructure will be incorporated in the system to enable the delivery of cloud computing services like infrastructure as service (IaaS), platform as a service(PaaS), and software as a service(SaaS) through a chosen network like the internet. The project will be pursued in different phases according to the system development life cycle. These phases will mark the project timelines for each event.
System planning is the first phase of the information system development project. It is the most crucial stage in developing an effective system. It will entail defining the objectives, problem, and outlining the relevant resources, i.e., costs and personnel. A study is conducted to identify how the product can be developed better th.

Project Plan
With only two years of operation, LiniolMR company has
experienced tremendous growth and a growing client base. The
company is expected to grow by sixty percent in the eighteen
months. With such growth, the company ought to increase the
capacity of data collection and analysis. An advanced
information system is to be developed in leveraging data
collection. The anticipated information will support the
business of the company.
The first task is to assess the current information technology in
the company, i.e., the hardware and software that support the
company’s operation. This will be done in the first two days of
the project. The hardware and software are redesigned to meet
the needs outlined by the organization. The team leader of the
project will consult several companies to allow the team to
integrate their technologies and IT solutions in connection with
the development of a technological system.
The on-site solution shall be leveraged in the development of
the information system. It is a great resource for the project as
it helps in delivering efficient, measurable, and engaging on-
site experiences without the limitation of complexity and size of
the events (Cha & Maytorena-Sanchez 2019). Reporting and
analytics will be done towards the end of the project. Cloud
computing technologies and software as-a-Service is of interest
in the project.
The cloud computing technology, i.e., the hardware, software,
and infrastructure will be incorporated in the system to enable
4. the delivery of cloud computing services like infrastructure as
service (IaaS), platform as a service(PaaS), and software as a
service(SaaS) through a chosen network like the internet. The
project will be pursued in different phases according to the
system development life cycle. These phases will mark the
project timelines for each event.
System planning is the first phase of the information system
development project. It is the most crucial stage in developing
an effective system. It will entail defining the objectives,
problem, and outlining the relevant resources, i.e., costs and
personnel. A study is conducted to identify how the product can
be developed better than the competitors in data collection and
analysis (Harris 2019). We also have to explore the ability to
propose an alternative solution after discussing it with the CEO.
Besides, in the planning phase, information is gathered from the
clients to create a system that will meet their needs. An analysis
is also conducted to assess the feasibility of the development of
the information system, and a software requirement
specification document is created. The document will guide the
developers in the entire process and can be reviewed by the
CEO and prospective clients. The determination and
documentation of the end user’s requirements mark the system
analysis.
After getting the users to need and identifying the project
resources, we proceed to the system design phase. This phase
defines the components, elements of the system, modules,
security levels, and architecture. We also have to identify
different interfaces as well as the types of data going through
the system. We can ease the system design by doing it on a
piece of paper to ascertain the outlook and functioning of the
system. An expanded and detailed system design can then be
produced as per the technical and functional requirements.
The system is then implemented and deployed after drawing the
system design. This phase follows after comprehending the
system requirements and specifications. The actual code is
written since the information system contains hardware
5. (Kennedy, 2019). The implementation phase encompasses fine-
tuning and configuration to ensure that the hardware meets the
specified functions and requirements. The system is ready for
installation and deployment in the company.
After the installation and deployment, different subsystems and
components are brought together to create an integrated system
as a whole. The system is introduced to various inputs to
acquire and analyze its behaviors, functions, and outputs.
Testing is essential for ensuring that the client is satisfied. It
can be pursued since it does not require any knowledge in
design, hardware configuration, or coding (Lemke 2018).
Testing will be performed by a team of specialized personnel in
a systemic and automated way to allow the comparison of the
actual outcomes with the desired or predicted results.
Periodic maintenance of the system is done in the system
maintenance phase. System maintenance entails continuous
evaluation of the system's performance and replacement of old
hardware. It is essential to also provide the latest updates for
some components to ensure that the system complies with the
latest technologies and the right standards to face the emerging
security threats.
