Assignment 3 - Implementation Plan

(15% of final assessment)

Your implementation plan will concentrate on the issues involved in the implementation of the system
you have recommended for Maria’s Aquariums.

Your report should contain:

Ø Implementation Strategy (2 - 4 pages): an outline that details the implementation strategy

you will be using for the new system. Discuss why you have chosen this strategy, the issues
and risks you could expect to encounter, and how you will manage these.

Ø Testing Strategy (2 – 4 pages): an outline that details the testing strategy that you will
implement. It should detail what is to be tested and how you will test it. This should deal with
the whole system testing strategy. You should include examples of test data that you would
include in a test bank and describe the situations that they are intended to cover. You should
also include evaluation strategies that detail how you will decide if your testing has worked.

Ø System Controls: - an outline (2 – 4 pages) of the system controls that will be implemented in
your new system. This should be an overview of all controls that you consider necessary;
ranging from large-scale issues such as disaster/recovery planning, normal operations
procedures, backup schedules and procedures as well as security techniques.

Ø Post Implementation Review Strategy: – an outline (1 – 2 pages) of when the review is to

occur, what is to be reviewed and what the outcomes of the review are likely to be.
