Advanced Program Management

1. In planning process, the management of the company should provide a vision for the company, based on the new project (Franklin, 2014). The vision should act as the guidelines to the next step which would be planning process. Using the management of the company’s vision is significant because it will allow proper creation of the system, based on the requirements of the company (Carr, 2014).
2. In planning process, the management, the stakeholders and professional computer personnel would be involved. The main reason as to why the management should be involved it because it might be having a vision or a strategic plan on where the company is supposed to be (Franklin, 2014). If the vision of the management does not relate with the project, then it will not be good to implement such a project, as it might be of negative effect to the management of the company. Stakeholders with an interest in the project should also be involved, in the planning process since the deliverable will have overall result on them as well. A professional computer personnel will be responsible for providing the best solutions according to the vision of the management. The management should also ensure the project becomes user friendly, thus making it easier for the employees to work without any disturbance (Carr, 2014).
3. There are many problems which are associated with changes in the company, and this may include employee resistance and communication issues (Franklin, 2014). Employees may not understand how to work with the new plans, thus they may resist it. In addition, the mode of communication may also be negatively affected hence leading to poor delivery of messages. In order to deal with these challenges, the employees will be trained on how to deal with the new computer system hence rendering the plan a success (Carr, 2014).
