The business was established in 2020 to cater for a demand for Australian native food products. The
company has organic certification.
The company manufactures and retails a range of organic, Australian native foods including:
Native herbs and spices
Native herbal teas
Native fruit jams and conserves.
Currently the business is selling its products through a number of small supermarkets and health stores
throughout Australia. The company also has a very basic website that includes four pages: home, about
us, products and contact details.
The company’s overall business objectives for the next three years are to increase sales and create brand
awareness, develop a broader product range, as well as expand into overseas markets, most likely Hong
Kong, Japan and Singapore.
The company’s target customers are those that enjoy gourmet foods.
The age range of Australian consumers buying products is between 35 and 65.
Most consumers are health conscious, care about protecting the environment and have an average annual
income of $80,000.
The company currently employs the following staff in its head office: CEO, Operations Manager, Marketing
Coordinator, Customer Service Officer and two administration staff.
Ten staff are employed in the factory making and distributing the products.
To date the company has been utilising a basic web site, and it has been decided to replace it completely.
As the Project Officer, you have been asked by the Operations Manager to coordinate a project to develop
a new website.
As the new website is seen as a critical part of the company’s expansion strategy, the CEO has stressed
the importance of project quality and has tasked you to manage quality within this project through
determining quality requirements and then implementing quality processes.
The CEO has advised of a strict budget of $11,000 for this project, with no variances allowable. The
budget is based on estimated costs.
A key aim is that customers are attracted to the web site and find it easy to use.
Timing is also an issue, as the web site should be ready by October to be ready for the Christmas season:
assume that it is currently June.
The company has established procedures for project management, and these are documented in the
Project Management Policy and Procedures.

Introduction
Our company has been performing exceptionally well in recent years, and we are all
grateful for the help we have obtained. Furthermore, we anticipate a project that will
focus just on company's overall development as well as meeting the demands of our
expanding consumer base. We used a web application for the entire time, but with our
new strategy, we want to construct a new one that is essential for our takes a broad
view. We are looking forward to going with a new system taking quality and customer
satisfaction side by side. We tend to provide efficiency to our customers while making
fullest use of our website. According to our targeted date we are looking forward to
welcome our new system in Christmas. As it is already the month of June we will soon
be starting to get invested in this project.
