Project Objectives

• Integrating web application in the Social Media Research center
• Required to connect people with the help of social media research center.
• The website that will be created will have various data ranging from research project, information about PhD projects and many more.
• It will help the members of the research center as in here, the deliverable of the project which contains financial records, assumptions and constraints, project objectives and also has the acceptance criteria for implementation of website.
• There are many advantages of doing this project that is with the advancement of web application, research center can be getting all the information that is related to the research projects, information, program as well as publications which can help in making the research more useful.
• The project should be completed within the given time frame only.
• The project should not cross the given time frame else the budget would go high which can make a great deal of pressure to the company.
• All the sources of the journals and publications should be checked thoroughly and it should be make sure that all come from a reliable source.
• Users should be given full security online so that there is no data leak.

The main purpose of implementing web application is to promote the media research center. This integration of web application over the social media will help others greatly which includes information that is related to research, program, records presented and publication of the members of the research center. The main focus of the project surrounds the desired area of impact which includes the various areas like the strategy, customer, financial, operational and social.

Financial	High
Customer	High
Operational	High
Social	Low

Type	Value of the Project
Better	The project can be vastly improved with the implementation of web application over the social media which can be quite significant for the betterment of the project. With the help of this successful implementation, men at the research center can promote themselves for the project. Another advantage of integrating the social media with the web application is that it will help the clients to look up for different information such as projects publication and researches which will help them in the long run. Anyone can search for journals online and get help for their project. Researchers can communicate with others to get any extra help when they need.
Faster	Implementation of the web application will help the customers to work more efficiently with the system. Having the equipped with web application can help the clients to get information more readily which can help them in their project by looking into various publications and research journals. Searching of journals online is quite faster as here the user only needs to give the author name and book name and the book shows up.
Cheaper	The planned web application must be developed and deployed within the estimated budget. The main advantage of keeping the entire thing within the budget is that it will help the company to be financially sound. Also, on the client’s side it becomes cheaper as they can get all the information over the internet and they do not have to shed money for real book materials. All the journals and publications are available over the social media. Also, the journals that are published over the internet is quite cheap.
Do more	The organization should plan efficiently which will attract more and more customers to get connected with the research center. In order to do so, they need to promote their business to different kinds of people so as to get more and more clients. Also, they need to update their system with different kinds of journals and publications houses so that users find it easy for their research project and it goes smoothly. Another thing they can do is to promote their business in every major social media platform so that it may get attention from different groups of people. Users should be given full privacy and their data should be fully confidential so that it might not get leaked anyhow outside and others cannot claim it to be theirs.

The metric of the project includes the following things:

• The project should complete within the given budget that is AUD 500000.00
• The project should be developed and deployed with the given time frame that is 8 months.
• The website is developed in order to promote the media research center.
• All the information about the project and their publications should be updated properly and should be relevant to the sources.
• The web application is designed to attract every group of people who are connected with the social media.

• Acceptance criteria of the project is to implement web application over the social media which will help the users to find all sorts of journals and publication pages related to research purpose.
• This will help the users to get information about their projects and how to deal with them.
• Acceptance testing from the user’s side is completed.
• Project manager has been looking for various documents and has signed off different documents when it comes to testing of the website.
• All the factors that include involvement of the stakeholders, IT requirements, resources required and the needs of IT staffs and management are also considered by David Wright.

• Numbers of assumptions are developed when it comes on implementing the web application over the social media research center.
• These various assumptions include number of employees that are working, budget required for the development and deployment of the project, time required for the for the completion of the project and resources that are required in completion of the project
• Another assumption is made that the project will be completed within the budget provided that is AUD 50000.00.
• Also, the project needs to be completed within the given time frame that is of eight months.
• The constraint is that if the required time exceeds, it will automatically hamper the budget which in turn will affect the total project overall.

 In this, there are three main constraints that come into play that is Cost, Schedule, Scope and Time.

Cost is the main factor for any project as it is expected to finish the required job within the estimated budget. Here the estimated budget is AUD 50000.00 and if the project manager is not able to finish the job within the given budget, it will cause a serious problem and will put a financial pressure on the organization. Cost should be maintained all the time and before proceeding with the plan, the cost should be estimated properly so that it might not cause a problem later on.

Schedule is the second most important constraints as it includes starting and developing of the project to the deployment of the project, it needs to follow some of the activities while the developing goes on process. Also the main objective here is to complete the overall project within the given budget. Proper planning is to created and the project should go or follow that proposed plan and should not deviate from the given plan.

Scope is defined as something which can be explained as how the project will end in the last. The scope of this project here is the descriptive nature of the project which helps to complete the implementation of the web application over the social media within the given budget and time frame.

Time is another vital constraint that needs to be kept in mind while completing the project as it is proportional to the cost of the project. If the completion of the project takes more than the expected time frame, then it will automatically raise the cost of the project will again hamper the financial statues of the company. Even after the completion of the project, before final deployment, the website should be checked on a timely basis.

Name of the stakeholder and role	Responsibilities
David Wright (Executive Officer)	David is responsible for administering all the functions that are happening within the research center which includes missions, visions and goals. He is also responsible for holding off the team together and makes them work.
Bruce (Program Manager)	Bruce is responsible for the handling of the project development at the research center and see if the project is going smoothly or not.
Mark Webber (Project Manager)	He is responsible for looking into the whole project and to monitor the possibilities. He also looks for the areas where it could be enhanced and the areas of threats. He also makes sure that the project is completed within the given budget and time.
Sonia Reed (Application Manager)	She is responsible for the updating of the information after the project is completed. She looks into the journals and different publications and authenticates them if they are from reliable sources or not.

• The successful implementation of the web application over the social media will be of great help as this can help in getting important information which is related with the research project and publications. The very same information can be used by the members of the research center.
• The members can also share the project information with others by logging into the account of users. The main aim of doing so is to promote the social media research center on a global platform.
• The members should also look into the projects to see if the information that is provided is relevant and also to make sure that it enhances the value of the research center in the market.
• The website should provide security to all its users so that the data does not get lost or stolen. If that happens, they can rename the paper and publish it again on other websites. So the web application that is to be created should provide proper security to all its users so that the data does not get leaked.
• The entire project must be completed within the given budget and time frame to avoid any disruption. If the project cost is much higher than the expected one, it could cause financial pressure over the company.
• All the challenges and financial risks should be avoided in order to smooth working of the project.
• Promoting the project is very much important and all the journals should come from relevant sources which can be used by every user in the future.
