As a result, patients can read the menu choices before an order is placed. This will reduce food waste. The system would retrieve data from database, then details will be displayed on the screen hence user can select a recommended meal. It is an important factor because if patients receive an appropriate meal hence the recovery time will be significantly reduced and the length of hospital stay. The system will facilitate an ordering process because a communication will provide a faster data transfer. Subsequently, ward hostess can receive more time for focusing on their primary duties. The system will eliminate a data entry error, losing data and miscounting data therefore the data accuracy will be effectively improved, thus it will manage availability of choice of meals. Furthermore the application will contribute to improve the current standard level of health service by replacing the paper-based system.

The method is based on iterations procedure. This mean that the Agile allows the developer to perform all phases at the same time in limited two weeks. At the end of each iteration the software will be evaluated and as well as analysed by developers and client. As the project becomes feasible, the iteration process will continue until the team will achieve the final version of the software. Iterations can be performed as many as times necessary but new functionalities must be included in the each iteration. Deliverables
Management Deliverables
The project proposal will contain all details such as project plan, risk assessment, SDLC, deliverables and a project schedule. If the client and developer agree on the project proposal, the project will be stepped to the next stage. The next stage will be the prototype implementation of the project. Each phase of the project development process will be well documented.
Deadlines
The project prototype must be delivered by 20th of December 2014.
The final project with documentation must be delivered by 20th of April 2015. Risk
