  • Ongoing maintenance and updates.

6. Timeline and Milestones

• Define the phases of development (e.g., planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment).
• Set deadlines for each milestone.

7. Budget and Resources

• Estimate the cost of development, including hardware, software, and any third-party services.
• Identify team members and their roles.
