Appendix B
Discussion of Project Plan and Project Methodology
Project Schedule
The original project schedule (Table 1.1) had to be revised after it became clear that the
implementation of version 2 was going to take a lot longer than originally envisaged (the reasons for
this are documented in the implementation section). After this assessment was made a new plan was
created so that the project did not just float along and lose productivity. The new plan allocated more
time to the design and development of the system to reflect the changing nature of the project
compared to the original plan. In the plan some tasks were carried out at the same time as other tasks
as it was not be possible to complete certain tasks like systems evaluation over the Easter break.
