The document outlines a project management plan for developing a complex web server application. It describes the project goal of creating a graphical user interface web server. It then details the resources, including the project leader, developers, testers and a budget of $2,500. It outlines the 5 project phases of specifications, design, implementation, verification and final release. It provides a timeline showing the tasks and estimated durations to complete the project by May 10th, within budget. The conclusions note that OpenProj project management software was used to define the tasks, schedule, resources and costs.
