- Requirements are gathered and documented.
- Outline the design of system.
- Review the project reports.
- Conducting of project meetings.
- Design and Develop of the system.
- Development of database for the system.
- Review the user interface.
- Test and Implement the system.
- Reports are implemented accurately.

- Implementation of budget plan and project timeframe.
- Support the system through warranty period of 5 months.
There are some out-of-scope activities of this project such as:
- There are no training programs are conducted to train employees on technical skills.
- There are no recruitment processes.
- There is no future development of proposed system.
- There is no implementation of marketing strategies developed for the proposed system.
Following are the project assumptions such as:
- The project plan should complete within 143 days.
- The project should meet with its budget.
- The project should not be out-of-scope and project changes do not affect the system implementation.
- There are enough project resources involved into system development project.
Following are the project constraints such as:
- The project plan must be completed within scheduled time.
- The project should not exceed the budget limit.
- There are project resources involved into system development.
- The system reduces challenges of use of manual system and maintains all the records of customers securely.
The system developer is involved to implement of scope management plan to meet with identified project scope. If the project will be out-of-scope, then the project will not succeed and there should be huge effect on the project. More resources are hired to complete the plan on time. The project manager should properly determined the scope items, analyse the factors impact the scope, develop of integrated plan and deploy of plan to improve the organizational performance.
