Information Gathering
Information collection is helpful for the deployment of the improvement of the operations and formation of the activities for aligning with the management of the successive management of the operations. The information gathering for the project of Sydney car rental project for developing Car Data Management System can be done by using questionnaire, survey, and interviews. These are the methods of primary data collection for forming the analysis and inference of the study. The past records and reports can also be studied for gathering information for the project.
The various risks for the project of Sydney car rental project for developing Car Data Management System is based on the operations and development factor are,
- Delay in completion:There are several cases when the project does not meets its expected deadline due to the delay in completion of the activities and it results in causing major issue for time driven projects.
- Cost Overrun:The cost overrun results in causing the loss of the organization in development of the project and it is caused when the activities of the project would not be completed in the estimated budget.
- System Development Issue:The development of system is the final deliverable for the project and the issues in developing the system would tend to the failure of the whole project itself.
- Design Flaws:The design flaws are the major factor that would result in causing the project to fail as the design is an integral part of the software development project.
