PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM

2014
A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lirico Music School is a new musical learning centre located in Ipoh. Currently, the
administration process of the organization for the music school is done manually via
papers.

Therefore, there are several problems which continuously to occur to the current
administrative process that resulted in the increasing of the cost of the business
management. The problems also lead to the complaints from the customers who are
the parents and the students about the inefficiency of the current process. This
consequently will reduce the income of the music school and can cause loss of profit
to the organization.

Lirico Music School has an opportunity to save operating cost and increase
customers satisfaction by having better administration system for their organization.
These opportunities align with Lirico Music Schools objective which is to grow
efficiently to become a well-known musical learning centre in the west-coast of
Peninsular Malaysia.


Each Option or Alternative Analyzed

There are several options and alternatives that have been analyzed in order to be
used in developing this e-Administration System for Lirico Music School which are
in-house system development, right-source system development and out-source
system development.
In-house system development is where the information system will be
developed internally by the organization using resources such as system analyst,
system designer, as well as programmers within the organization itself.

Right source system development is meant by the mixing of external party
with the in-house development team to develop the information system while out-
source system development is the process of contracting the job of the
information system development to the third party.

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
Which Alternative Is Being Recommended and Why

It is recommended to use the right-source system development in order to
develop the e-Administration System.

By using this alternative, there are several benefits to the organization of I-Tech
World Sdn. Bhd. which may later on become the add-on value to the organization
itself. Some of the benefits are:

The technical oversight of the internal development team will be more
independent and they can gain a lot of knowledge which can be shared by
the external party.
The external party can learn something from the organization as the situation
for every organization is different. As a result, the external party may provide
the optimal strategy that can be used by the organization.
The internal development team is challenged to be able deliver the business
based on the objectives determined in more cost effective ways.

C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Purpose
Currently, there is no information system in administrating the organization of Lirico
Music School. The administration details that need to be organized include the type of
instruments that each of the students learnt, the courses or packages they take, their
current levels for each instrument, their monthly fees status and also the parents
suggestions and comments.

The current administration process is being done manually only via papers and
has become huge problems to the school as it involved high maintenance cost. The
costs include paper cost, stationary cost, labour cost and storage cost. Besides that,
there are always error occur when organizing the data about the students as it is done
manually and people often made mistakes. Consequent to that, many administrative
problems arise and there are many complaints and reports done either by the
administrative staff or the parents of the students.

If this situation is keep maintain and there is no effort to overcome it, the school
may suffer from the diseconomies of scale. Lirico Music School will also face the high
cost and inefficiency in managing part. In addition, the school also needs to sacrifice and
wasted their funds to something which is not supposedly being funded. Instead, the
funds should be invested in something that may give benefits and profits to the school.

Therefore, an information system in organizing the administrative stuffs of the
school is proposed in order to make sure that the internal process of the school can be
run more effectively and efficiently.

Project Objectives

To improve the music schools data management.
To reduce the administrative errors.
To facilitate parents surveillance their children performance in study.
To provide mutual platform for both parents and the administration of the
organizations to communicate through suggestion and comments.

5

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
To help the music school to have better documentation.
To offer mechanism for assisting the organization in financial
management.

Project Challenges

Getting data and information
o The process of getting data and information from stakeholders might
be difficult because the administrator is busy with their schedule and
therefore, need to find time when the he is available.
Organizing the students details in automated and organized system
o When using manual system, details that are necessary to be filled-in
can be fitted to the size of the paper. But to transform it into
automated system, it must be organized in proper structure to make
sure it is easily viewed and filled. This is to ensure that the automated
is in the form of user-friendly system. There are also many errors
occurred when organizing the data of student as it is done manually.


Project Opportunities
Increase customer satisfaction
The administration staff will become more effective in doing their work by
using the new information system and this will lead to the increasing of
customers satisfaction because there will be no more problems associated
with insufficient of students records.

Increase income
The performance of administration of Lirico Music School will also increase and
become more effective and thus, gives more advantages to the school in
increasing their incomes.

H. RESOURCES REQUIRED
In developing this e-Administration System, there are three resources that have
been identified useful for the project. These resources are necessary in order to
complete the project. The three resources that will be used in this project are :
1. People
Lirico Music School administrator
o The administrator will provide the official form that always be used in
filling student detail for their training purpose. Despite that, industrial
training supervisor also will explain the flow of manual industrial
training process. This will help the project team in developing the
system more structured and fulfil the requirement.

2. Facilities
Personal Computer or Notebook
o This is necessary in order to develop the system. These resources
can be provided by the project team itself. Having this resource can
help in design, develop and evaluate the system before been
implement and use by faculty.
Internet Access
o Internet access is needed for each of project team in helping them in
find the information and knowledge about the programming language
will be used in developing this system when there is an error
regarding the coding. This resource can be retrieve from the
company wireless network that provided by company.

3. Technology
Programming software
o Licensed software are needed to ensure that the development
process of the project will not face any illegal problem.

J. PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
COMMUNICATION PLAN
Communications is by far the most important driver in project management and
more often than not it is the least adequately planned part of the project and least
effectively carried out. Communications planning involves planning for all the
communications with project stakeholders. A useful tool is the reporting schedule. It
can help you identify the frequency and types of information required by different
stakeholders.

SCOPE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Project scope management includes the processes required to ensure that the
project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the
project successfully. Managing the project scope is primarily concerned with defining
and controlling what is and is not included in the project.

1. Collect Requirement
Defining and documenting the customers, sponsor, all stakeholders need
and expectation of the project.

Stakeholders Requirements
Lirico Music School Easy to monitor the students
performance
Manage the student information
Parents Monitor and give comment about the
performance of their children and
Lirico Music School
Students Updated to the latest information

2. Define Scope
A detailed description of the project to be designed built and implemented. A
detailed scope statement defines what work will and will not be part of the
project and will serve as a basis for all future project decision.

3. Create Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The decomposition or dividing of the major project deliverables into smaller
and more manageable components.

4. Verify Scope
Confirmation and formal acceptance that the projects scope is accurate, complete
and supports the projects Measurable Organizational Value (MOV). The project
team and sponsor must agree to all deliverables. This step is the process of
obtaining the stakeholders formal acceptance of the completed project scope and
associated deliverables .Though quite confused with quality control, project scope
verification deals with the actual formal acceptance of the finished product. Quality
control usually precedes project scope verification and sometimes occurs
simultaneously. The main activity under this step is inspection. Deliverables are
measured, examined, and verified in order to ascertain whether they meet the
product acceptance criteria. Other terms for this step are reviews, audits, and
walkthroughs. The outputs are:

18

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
(1) Accepted Deliverables-these documents contain acknowledgements and
proofs that the stakeholders accept the project deliverables and if they are
not accepted, the reasons must also be stated
(2) Requested changes
(3) Recommended Corrective Actions.

5. Control Scope
Ensuring that controls are in place to manage proposed scope changes once
the projects scope is set. The Project Manager and the project team will
work together to control of the scope of the project. The project team will
leverage the WBS Dictionary by using it as a statement of work for each
WBS element. The project team will ensure that they perform only the work
described in the WBS dictionary and generate the defined deliverables for
each WBS element. The Project Manager will oversee the project team and
the progression of the project to ensure that this scope control process if
followed.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN

Quality management is performed throughout the project lifecycle with special
attention to quality planning, quality assurance and quality control.

1. Quality Planning
Quality is the degree to which the project fulfills requirements. Quality
management planning determines quality policies and procedures relevant to
the project for both project deliverables and project processes, defines who
is responsible for what, and documents compliance.

2. Quality Assurance
The focus of quality assurance is on the processes used in the project.
Quality assurance ensures that project processes are used effectively to
produce quality project deliverables. It involves following and meeting
standards, continuously improving project work, and correcting project
defects.

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Change Management approach for the project will ensure that all proposed
changes are defined, reviewed, and agreed upon so they can be properly
implemented and communicated to all stakeholders. This approach will also ensure
that only changes within the scope of this project are approved and implemented.
The Change Management approach is not to be confused with the Change
Management Process which will be detailed later in this plan. The Change
Management approach consists of three areas:
Ensure changes are within scope and beneficial to the project
Determine how the change will be implemented
Manage the change as it is implemented
The Change Management process has been designed to make sure this approach
is followed for all changes. By using this approach methodology, the project team
will prevent unnecessary change from occurring and focus its resources only on
beneficial changes within the project scope.
Definitions of Change
This section of the Change Management Plan defines the different types of changes
that may be requested and considered for the project. These changes may include
schedule change, budget change, scope change, or project document changes.
Most changes will impact at least one of these areas and it is important to consider
these impacts and how they will affect the project.
There are several types of changes which may be requested and considered for the
project. Depending on the extent and type of proposed changes, changes project
documentation and the communication of these changes will be required to include
any approved changes into the project plan and ensure all stakeholders are notified.
Types of changes include:
Scheduling Changes: changes which will impact the approved project schedule.
These changes may require fast tracking, crashing, or re-baselining the schedule
depending on the significance of the impact.

22

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
Budget Changes: changes which will impact the approved project budget. These
changes may require requesting additional funding, releasing funding which would
no longer be required, or adding to project or management reserves. May require
changes to the cost baseline.
Scope Changes: changes which are necessary and impact the projects scope
which may be the result of unforeseen requirements which were not initially planned
for. These changes may also impact budget and schedule. These changes may
require revision to WBS, project scope statement, and other project documentation
as necessary.
The project manager must ensure that any approved changes are communicated to
the project stakeholders. Additionally, as changes are approved, the project
manager must ensure that the changes are captured in the project documentation
where necessary. These document updates must then be communicated to the
project team and stakeholders as well.
Change Control Board
Here the Change Management Plan describes the Change Control Board, the
purpose of the board, and the members and their roles on the board. The change
control board is the approval authority for all proposed project changes. If a change
is not approved by the control board then it will not be implemented with the project.
The size and function of change control boards may vary depending on the
organization but their purpose and the roles and responsibilities are consistent.
The Change Control Board (CCB) is the approval authority for all proposed change
requests pertaining to the project. The purpose of the CCB is to review all change
requests, determine their impacts on the project risk, scope, cost, and schedule, and
to approve or deny each change request. The following chart provides a list of the
CCB members.

Project Sponsor CCB Chair
Project Manager CCB Member
Technical Support CCB Co-Chair

23

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014

As change requests are submitted to the Project Manager by the project
team/stakeholders, the Project Manager will log the requests in the change log and
the CCB will gather every other Friday to review all change requests. For a change
request to be approved, all CCB members must vote in favor. In the event more
information is needed for a particular change request, the request will be postponed
and sent back to the requestor for more information or clarification. If a change is
believed critical, an ad hoc CCB meeting can be called in order to review the change
prior to the next scheduled bi-weekly CCB meeting.
Roles and Responsibilities
This section of the Change Management Plan describes the roles and
responsibilities of project team members in regards to the change management
process. It is important that everyone understands these roles and responsibilities
as they work through the change management process. These roles and
responsibilities must be communicated as part of the change management plan to
all project stakeholders.
The following are the roles and responsibilities for all change management efforts
related to the project:
Project Sponsor:
Approve all changes to budget/funding allocations
Approve all changes to schedule baseline
Approve any changes in project scope
Chair the CCB
Project Manager:
Receive and log all change requests from project stakeholders
Conduct preliminary risk, cost, schedule, scope analysis of change prior to
CCB
Seek clarification from change requestors on any open issues or concerns
Make documentation revisions/edits as necessary for all approved changes

24

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
2014
Participate on CCB
Project Team / Stakeholders
Submit all change requests on standard organizational change request forms
Provide all applicable information and detail on change request forms
Be prepared to address questions regarding any submitted change requests
Provide feedback as necessary on impact of proposed changes
Change Control Process
This part of the Change Management Plan should describe the change control
process from beginning to end. Typically, a change control process should be an
organizational standard and repeatable. This process is the tool which is used to
ensure adherence to the organizations change management approach which was
discussed in an earlier section. By following all of the steps, the project team can
successfully incorporate approved changes, communicate the changes, and update
project documentation.
The Change Control Process for the project will follow the organizational standard
change process for all projects. The project manager has overall responsibility for
executing the change management process for each change request.
1. Identify the need for a change (Stakeholders) Change requestor will submit
a completed change request form to the project manager.
2. Log change in the change request register (Project Manager) The project
manager will keep a log of all submitted change requests throughout the
projects lifecycle.
3. Evaluate the change (Project Manager, Team, Requestor) The project
manager will conduct a preliminary analysis on the impact of the change to
risk, cost, schedule, and scope and seek clarification from team members
and the change requestor.
4. Submit change request to CCB (Project Manager) The project manager will
submit the change request, as well as the preliminary analysis, to the CCB
for review.

25

PROJECT PLAN : E-ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM

5. Obtain Decision on change request (CCB) The CCB will discuss the
proposed change and decide whether or not it will be approved based on all
submitted information.
6. Implement change (Project Manager) If a change is approved by the CCB,
the project manager will update and re-baseline project documentation as
necessary.

Human resources management is an important part of the project. The human
resources management plan is a tool which will aid in the management of this
projects human resource activities throughout the project until closure. The human
resources management plan includes:
Roles and Responsibilities of Team Members Throughout the Project
Project Organization Charts
Staffing Management Plan to Include:
How resources will be acquired
How performance reviews will be conducted
The purpose of the human resources management plan is to achieve project
success by ensuring the appropriate human resources are acquired with the
necessary skills, resources are trained if any gaps in skills are identified, team
building strategies are clearly defines, and team activities are effectively managed.
Roles and Responsibilities
Roles and responsibilities of team members and stakeholders must be clearly
defined in any project. Depending on the organizational structure, project team
members may represent many different groups/departments and act in the interest
of different functional managers. Additionally, team members may have varying
degrees of authority and responsibility. When listing roles and responsibilities the
following should be included:
Role - description of the portion of the project for which the member is
accountable
Authority - the level at which the member may make decisions, apply project
resources, or make approvals
Responsibility - the work a team member must perform to complete assigned
work activities
Competency - the skill(s) required to complete assigned project activities

The roles and responsibilities for the project are essential to project success. All
team members must clearly understand their roles and responsibilities in order to
successfully perform their portion of the project.
Project Organizational Charts
In this section the Human Resource Plan provides a graphic display of the project
tasks and team members. The purpose of this is to illustrate the responsibilities of
team members as they relate to the project tasks. Tools such as responsible,
accountable, consult, inform (RACI) or responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) may
be used to aid in communicating roles and responsibilities for the project team.
Additionally, organizational or resource breakdown structures may be used to show
how responsibilities are assigned by department or by type of resource respectively.
It should be noted that the level of detail may vary depending on project complexity.
Staffing Management
This part of the Human Resource Plan contains information on several areas
including: when and how human resource requirements will be acquired, the
timeline for when resources are needed and may be released, training for any
resources with identified gaps in skills required, how performance reviews will be
performed, and the rewards and recognition system to be used. It is important to
note that depending on the scope of the project there may be other items included in
staffing management (government and/or regulatory compliance, organizational
health and safety, etc).
1. Staff Acquisition:
For the project the project staff will consist entirely of internal resources. There will
be no outsourcing/contracting performed within the scope of this project. The Project
Manager will negotiate with System Owner in order to identify and assign resources
in accordance with the project organizational structure. All resources must be
approved by the appropriate functional/department manager before the resource
may begin any project work. The project team will not be co-located for this project
and all resources will remain in their current workspace.

2. Performance Reviews
The project manager will review each team members assigned work activities at the
onset of the project and communicate all expectations of work to be performed. The
project manager will then evaluate each team member throughout the project to
evaluate their performance and how effectively they are completing their assigned
work. Prior to releasing project resources, the project manager will meet with the
appropriate functional manager and provide feedback on employee project
performance.

IMPLEMENTATION AND PROJECT CLOSURE PLAN
Project close-out process means finalization for the e-Administration project and any
related sub-projects. Project close-out is the series of activities that are carried out
to bring an orderly closure to the project and ensuring that any metrics and lessons
learned are captured for future reference. For close-out plan, we will do the project
post-mortem meeting and project personnel reviews to close-out the project. Finally,
we will make preparation of a final report or project plan to include lessons learned
and archived all project related documents.
1. Lessons Learned
Even the most successful projects have lessons from which we can learn. An
effective Project Manager will documents and analyzes the lessons learned from his
project and applies them to future projects throughout the organization.
2. Post Project Review
It's good practice to review all projects at their completion. A Post Project Review
should be performed in addition to a Lessons Learned. Reviewing your project to
see how actual it is accomplished compared to planned gives you a good view of
the project's performance. The post project review along with Lessons Learned
provides meaningful input to future projects.
3. Project Acceptance
Formal Project Acceptance requires a signature by the Project Sponsor or customer.
Before a project can be closed out, Project Manager needs formal acceptance of the
project by the Project Sponsor or customer. Formal acceptance is one step of the
close out process and doesn't release the Project Manager or resources from the
Project. It is the Project Manager's responsibility to release resources during the
closing process and ensure that all closing tasks are completed.
