(b) SCS Senior Management has decided to implement a Medicine Dispensing System (MDS) to provide medicine to patients through an automated system and vending machines. It is called the MDS Project. Assume that you are an Information Technology (IT) Manager at SCS. You have just been appointed by SCS Senior Management as the MDS Project Manager. Before starting the project, it is important that you contemplate how it will evolve.
Introduce Project Life Cycle (PLC) to SCS Senior Management and relate the four (4) phases of the Project Life Cycle (PLC) to the MDS Project. For each phase, briefly describe any four (4) tasks and/or actionable items in that phase and these are to be related to the MDS Project. You can make reasonable assumptions, including desirable MDS features, actions that you will take, values such as costs (in Singapore Dollars) and durations for budget and schedule estimates, with good justifications where possible. You are authorised to deploy appropriate internal resources and outsource some of the work to relevant external organisations. However, you are the sole interface between the project team and SCS Senior Management in charge of raising project requests, and reporting progress and performances to the management.
