Selected project
The selected project will involve the development of an information system for the general management of the Mundi Hospital. The main aim of the system will be to establish the desired efficiency, manage human resources, manage patient’s records with ease as well as automate finance department of the Hospital. By implementing the proposed project, the hospital will have aligned the operations of the hospital towards achieving the set goals and objectives.
Project goals and objectives
One of the goals of the proposed information system will be reducing the wait time from hours to forty-five minutes upon signing into the hospital. The goal will be achieved through with the help of the following objectives:
· Faster determination of patient’s requirements
· Easier scheduling of patients appointments
· The system does the faster appointment schedule
The second goal of the system will be facilitating easier financial management. The goal will be achieved through the following objective
· To establish faster payments for the services offered
· Faster generation of financial reports trends
· Easier tracking of transaction made by the hospital
The last goal that Mundui Hospital wishes to achieve through the system is the efficient management of human resources. The goal will be achieved through the fowling objectives
· Monitoring of employees performance
· Manage employees affairs such as promotions and salaries
Key project customers and stakeholders
Project stakeholders involve all the parties that will be impacted by the new system during the development and implementation of the project. The critical project customers for the Mundui hospital Information will be the patients as well as the hospital staff. The system will help hospital staff to manage to perform their duties within the stipulated time frame thus reducing the wait time for the patients. Patients will also rely on the system to determine their wait time to see a doctor or time taken to receive any service needed within Mundi Hospital. The hospital management is a sponsor of the project and thus expects that the proposed information system will be developed within the stipulated time as well as the allocated budget. Any deviation from the proposed requirements will be an unwelcome move to the project sponsor. Deviation from the original plan would imply an increased cost of the project or unwanted delays.
The hospital wishes to attract more customers who are cautious of what to expect before making their final decisions regarding healthcare services. The system will help the hospital eliminate the problem of unwanted delays resulting from the manual operation of patients records as well handling of wait time for the patients. The project hopes to receive more support from other investors if the proof of the.

3. operational as well as the financial aspect of Mundi Hospital.
The procurement department is sufficiently interested in the
project to ensure that the required resources are sourced from
reliable suppliers in good time. I am achieving the objective
demands that the procurement department does prior financial
planning for the needed resources for the project.
Three key milestones and derivable for the project
The key miles stone for our project will be categorizing the
different steps involved in the system development into the
section. In this case, the project stage will be evaluated after
every one month to see the progress. The evaluation will help
the project team to ascertain whether the set goals for each of
the project stages are fully met. In the event, the project team
establishes a specific deviation from the expected results
adjustments will be initiated to align the process with the set
plan. For instance, project milestones might track on when the
development started, how the scheduling of different tasks was
done among many other issues
The deliverables for our project, in this case, will be:
background study about the system, required data, proposal,
prototypes, and licenses permits as well as the final system.
System developers will be tasked with the responsibility of
dealing with the majority of the project deliverables while the
end users will only deal with the final product that is the
systems itself.

Project overall costs
The overall project costs will involve the cost used to procure
new technology needed to develop the proposed information
system, hardware systems, salaries for the project teams as well
other costs associated with the implementation of the new
system. The project manager must possess the relevant skills
and competency to handle the project. Further training may be
done on the project manager to ensure that they are up to the
task. Other costs may involve employees training on the use of
the new system
Future Recommendations
Although the management system might fully meet our original
objectives, the system will still be open to more development.
The new development that may be done on the system will
ensure that Mundui Hospital achieves the best experience. In
other words, new developments will help further the original
objective of the site into a new level of performance.
About the final prototype, some improvements may be made in
the future. Even though the future team would be developing
more on what we have done, we recommend that they undergo
the whole process of system development life cycle to make
best out of the process. Covering the whole process of the
5. system development lifecycle will ensure that the entire user's
requirements, as well as futures that we might have skipped or
ignored, will be well captured. The move is essential in
establishing a professional system that is user-friendly and
reliable at all the time.
Future developers must also consider incorporating a survey
section within the system. The survey section should focus on
tracking users feeling about the system as users continue
interacting with the system. The survey will help the system
administrators identify the new trends that the users expect to
find on the system but are missing. Such results will be
essential in providing the essential need for either upgrading to
more modern tools and technologies aimed at enhancing the
user's experience. The survey will also help to determine
whether the system is helping achieve the original goals and
objectives of the projects.
