Question

Need assistance with developing a Gantt Chart for a project plan for system development. Looking to create an application for a health food company. They have published books and part of the plan is to convert to digital as well as making the application readily available via mobile. I want to know as far as resources go, the team will be made up of project manager, systems analyst, web/software developer, and research. How do I know what the cost and duration will be to complete the project?

Answer 1

So, for developing an application for the organisation, it is really important to understand the requirement of the project. Here in this case, the business wants to develop an application for health food business. So, for running the application, you must need an web server, application server and the database server. So for the entire setup, it might cost some bucks as well as time. Moreover, you need an testing environment as well as production environment so you have to create the infrastructure twice. The webserver you can implement a open source solution but you might require a database license for the DB server. Once your code is developed, you have to deploy that code into the application server. Furthermore, you need monitoring tool to monitor the application and even you require a load balancer to distribute the traffic. The entire setup and go live of the application might take 6 months of time as you have to fill the gaps of every aspects. Secondly, the cost of the project totally depends upon the types of hardware and software you used and number of employees working on this project.
