An implementation plan is very essential for a successful project. Methodology and project approach are to be designed prior to the implementation of a project. In the diagram appended below, an implementation strategy is designed for the E-procurement software system in a view to develop a robust and sophisticated self-tracking procurement system which can automate all the key operations of the Museums Victoria. The main steps in the implementation plan designed for the E-procurement software system project are as follows:


1)    Develop the idea for the project: In this phase, the idea for the project and its implementation strategies are identified and planned for implementation in the next phases. All the processes of Museums Victoria are analyzed and observed to redesign and automate them according to the client’s requirements.



2)    Document and organize the requirements for this project: In this phase, after the requirements are thoroughly analyzed it is important to document and organize all the requirements into a streamline for the product design. The inputs from the staff, customers etc. through interviews, questionnaires are documented and organized for the implementation of the project.



3)    Design the implementation plan: The implementation phase is subdivided into four steps again implementing the agile methodology selected for the project.

a)    Create a schedule and plan: It is always important to have a structure plan for the implementation. A project schedule is necessary for the successful implementation of the ideas. The Schedule should fit into the requirements of the project clients and the project team.
b)    Design the iterations plan: This one of the important phase in the implementation of ideas. As this methodology needs to have the project designed in various iterations, the iteration plan need to be designed in an effective way to bring out the best product for the E-procurement of software system.

c)    Planning the iteration outcomes through the plan: Planning of the iteration to bring the necessary outcomes is very important to streamline the entire product development phase.
d)    Reviewing the iteration plan: Reviewing of the iteration plan is also important to make sure the project is on the track according to the project schedule and requirements.



4)    Design a testing plan: The main advantage of the agile methodology is the repetitive testing that is done after every iteration and product outcome from the iteration. A testing plan is essential to successfully design the required product for E-procurement of software system.
