Integrated Information System Development For Crinitt Venice – Project Objectives, Stakeholder Identification, Waterfall Methodology Implementation, And Possible Effects Of Project Failure

Project Objectives

Discuss about the Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice.

According to Wasson (2015), the development of the activities had helped in forming the major alignment of the operations favouring the alignment of the operations and inclusion of the project development. The restaurant of Crinitt Venice is developed for aligning the deployment of the effective operation development. The implementation of the new system at Crinitt Venice would help them for integrating the database for all three locations and the project is named as Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice.

The following report would provide an analysis of the project objectives, defining the problem, stakeholder identification, change requirements for implementing the waterfall methodology for the project, system request form, project budget, competitive advantage of new information system, and possible effects of project failure.

The design thinking process has five stages of a complete project plan development and it includes empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The first step of the method is ‘Empathise’ and it includes the method of gaining empathic understanding of the project requirements. The project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice would integrate the implication of the activities for forming the analysis of the effective operation development and alignment of the operations favoring the implementation of the supportive development of the operations. The objectives of the project can be understood by the analysis of design thinking methodology for the project of effective role development.

The existing system of Crinitt Venice works successively on a larger scale for the integration of the operations and aligning the effective operation development. The restaurant of Crinitt Venice has a seating availability of 150 people and they are fully occupied and busy on most of the nights. The restaurant is overcrowded especially on Fridays and Saturdays and advance booking is done 3 weeks prior on phone. The complete system of Crinitt Venice is manual as there is only one computer where the storage of records, menus are printed, and payroll is processed. The orders are taken manually on the carbon paper and one copy is sent to kitchen for preparation and the other copy is kept by the waiter that is finally given to the patron for the making the bill for the customer.

The inventory is also managed by the head chef as he is responsible for the maintenance of the stock and items required at the restaurant. The major problem for Crinitt Venice is that the restaurant has been expanding and it had spread to two more locations of Strathfield and Parramatta. Hence, they require the implementation of the new system for the restaurant so that they can integrate the working of the three restaurants and roll out a new system for automatic information processing, generation of bill payment, and mobile application.

Stakeholder Identification

The stakeholders are those persons in project that are responsible for direct or indirect operations in the project. The analysis of the activities for the project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice would highlight the implication of human resources for the project. A number of stakeholders would be required for the development of the effective project activities. The following is the list of involved stakeholders of the project,

Table 1: Stakeholder Identification Document

The existing methodology for the project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice is design thinking process that has five stages of a complete project plan development namely empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test. It works on the factor of oscillating between the forwards and backwards of possibility, requirement, and value development (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). The design thinking methodology for the operations would be formed for involving the deployment of the activities. The implication of the existing development methods would be formed for aligning the implication of the activities for forming the alignment of the effective development. The waterfall methodology works on the theory of sequential and linear design approach. The implication of the activities would also be aligned for the formation of the operations favouring the utilization of the effective operation development.

The design thinking would form the first two phase of waterfall model as the development of the design of automated system and mobile application would be aligned with the implication of the effective operation development (Verburg et al. 2015). The deployment of the waterfall model would be eased by combining the design thinking methodology with the lean development scheme.

The implication of the new information system along with mobile application would be formed for forming the utilization of the improved technology development for the project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice. The analysis would also be helpful for listing the implication of the effective operation development (Carpenter et al. 2015). The implication of the new system would help Crinitt Venice in improved customer data management, increment of the overall sales, and feedback collection using mobile application.

The failure of the project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice would result in forming the both technological and financial issues like unable to incorporate innovation, wastage of time and resources, and scope failure (Giachetti 2016). The company would have to face the issues of huge loss to company’s name and brand. The possible impacts have been pointed below,

Waterfall Methodology Implementation

Unable to Incorporate Innovation: The first and foremost problem of failure of the project is the absence of innovation technology of automation for Crinitt Venice.

Wastage of Time and Resources: The activities of the project would involve the exhaustion of time and resources and since the project had failed, the exhausted resources would be considered as wasted

Scope Failure: The failure of the project scope would result in forming the major issues of the integration development and it would form the major issues in forming the implication of the successive deployment of the activities. 

Conclusion

It can be concluded from the assignment that the effective implication of the operations had favoured the alignment of the operations. The assignment had covered the initial development of the project of Integrated Information System Development for Crinitt Venice and it had highlighted the project objectives, defining the problem, stakeholder identification, change requirements for implementing the waterfall methodology for the project, system request form, project budget, competitive advantage of new information system, and possible effects of project failure.
