The system will be maintained by the system organization and the stakeholders of the shopping site. This system will help the organization to manage the relation of the customers and streamline the operations of the business. The system management and the data management also becomes easier after implementing the system. The software development lifecycle is to be covered in this project that includes planning, requirement analysis, and development phase, testing phase and deployment phase, implementation phase and the closure phase.
The main aim of the project is to develop a project plan of developing a mobile application for the shopping store in Australia. This project will help the managers and the stakeholders to maintain all the activities that are to be involved in the project.

The benefit of the project is to schedule all the deliverables that are to be included for developing the mobile application for the shopping store in Australia. By this project, the project manager can complete the project successfully.
The project team should have capabilities of handling the technical part of developing the android application and should also have knowledge of handling the project with project management implementation.
The risks that can occur while handling this project are stated below:
- Fails to understand the requirements of the project- If the requirements of the project are not clear, the application will end up that might not be liked by the project stakeholders.
- Increase in Time and Budget: There might be a risk of increasing the time of the project that is scheduled and the accordingly the project budget will also increase.
- Shortage of Resource: The resources that are needed for establishing the project are the main factors of a project. There might be a shortage of resource while establishing a project.
- Changing the Design: If the system developer changes the design of the application that undertaken, the project time might increase. This might lead to increase in project budget.
The outcomes of this project will end up in completing the project and implementing the mobile application for the shopping store in Australia. The store will be able to conduct business all over Australia and might also expand its business all over the world. The business scope of the store will increase and the project manager will be successful in completing the project.
