Lizzie’s Leather Belts Personnel

The aim of this report is to present the cloud-based software as a solution for the expansion being led by the Lizzie Belt Company. The target market for the organization was the online customers and the proposed solution was to develop a web portal in manner to allow the customers and the employees of the organization to utilize better and enhanced experiences. It will enhance the interaction of the employees of the different centers and establishing an effective network for them. This report focuses on the best-suited approach for the delivery of the project and identifying the crucial processes needed to be accomplished for the efficient and successful delivery of the project. It also explains the activities and schedule of the project that needed to be accomplished without hampering for the growth and development of the project.

Agile Scrum methodology can be recommended as the best approach for the developing the web portal for the Company as it has been the best-suited methodology for the development of the software for any organization. Conde et al. (2017) explained the development of the Agile Scrum Methodology has a clear perception on the objectives and goals presented for the software development and implementation of any software technology. Waterfall can also be implemented within the project, as it is best suited for the development of a project consists of continuous phases followed by another. However, looking at different phases and steps included in the Agile Scrum Methodology, it can be recommended as the best option for this implementation within the existing system (icholas and Steyn 2017). This methodology will include the project initiation, planning, execution, controlling and monitoring, and project closure and that is all the company needs now.

The listed activities are helpful in accomplishing the phases of the project involved in the Agile Scrum Methodology and delivering the project I manner to allow the cooperation between the different established centers. The listed activities include all the five phases of the project including the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and controlling and project closure (Laudon and Laudon 2017).  Risk management strategies are crucial element for every project that needs to be accomplished in an efficient and effective manner and thus, it has been incorporated within the mentioned activities. The flow of the job as mentioned above will be helpful in accomplishing the objectives and goals of the project (Whetten and Cameron 2014).

True Concepts Personnel

Teamwork is always beneficiary aspect for the growth and development of a project that has many phases as every team member will be contributing to the project in different way and thus, innovation can be implemented within the project. It is a helpful way for dividing the load between the team members and sharing the stress of the job and thus, delivering a high quality project (Abraham et al. 2017).  Teamwork can result in the deployment of the work within certain period of time and keeping the standard of the project of high quality. Teamwork can bring out better decisions even in tough scenarios and deliver the respective job in efficient manner.

Despite of the benefits, there are certain drawback factors of the teamwork such as if the team is under wrong leadership, they might be deviated from the respective goal and thus, become an obstacle within the project from accomplishing the tasks (Dingsovr et al. 2016). Different culture can be helpful for the innovation however; it can also be a problem for the conflicts within the team.

Regular meetings in a room, face-to-face conversation with every team member, brainstorming activities, retreat plans, and engagement of certain activities that need a teamwork can be helpful in communicating with the team members (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). Regular motivation and apprises by the team leader is also an innovative approach for allowing them to express their feelings.   

Deployment of a web portal on the web will need certain legal authorities and that needs to be considered in the prior of the development of the project (FInkleman 2015). Policies and agreements between the vendors, customers, and employees should be properly signed-off in manner to make sure that they are well aware with the risks those might came in  future due to the implementation of the web portal (Schwalbe 2015). The policies related to the privacy and security of the individual should must be considered in the prior of the development of web portal ensuring the stakeholders that the data or information being shared is safe from any breach or intrusion.

The activities listed in the above report include all the phases needed for the deployment of the web portal. The activities and considerations presented in the above report can be helpful in accomplishing the objectives and goals of the project.  Implementing the hybrid cloud platform can be recommended for the establishment of this project.
