It will outline each member roles and responsibilities that is participating in project. Project plan will get crated with aim of creating two of the applications that are intended for supporting the children with the skills of learning on languages and mathematics. One application will intended to support children with the languages and math, the other application intended to support children with the abilities that are learning. The project manager details will embrace the PMP and members of the team, deliverables lists, reference materials list, acronym and definitions list, organizational chart description, roles and responsibilities of project and some used data along with technical and management pro cedures, work done with the help of budget and schedule.

Name of the project Development project for Music application Description of Project The projects include the two applications development ti support and improve the mathematical abilities of the children. Every application will intend for using the music as the way to support children to be good at languages and math. This music application development is further divided into the two phases. One phase is only for helping the children for enhancing the abilities related to mathematics. The second phase is dedicated with the specific app to the children which are having some disabilities. As there is involvement of application it will do enhancements and face testing. The budget for this project is set to be $700,000 and this becomes the high priority project.

Thus, organization Edapp.Inc planned for developing for the children two of the musical apps, one that will boost the children mathematical abilities and another is mainly for the children with the disabilities to support their physical and mental development. Both applications are related to each other thus added in the same project which is completed within four months time period with the provided budget of $700,000.
