1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

This section Provide essential information like

 What the motivation for this project is (e.g. to fill a gap in the product portfolio)
 Who the customer is
 What the project will deliver. Is it a new product or an extension of an existing one?
 What it will cost
 How long it will take
 Which organizations are involved
 Which other projects depend on the project result
 Which other projects contribute with their results

1.2 The Existing System

[Identify what type of methods and techniques are currently used to do the job which leads to view the
gap and creating a problem the you are initiated to solve]

1.3 Statement of the Problem

Identify the needs or problems to be addressed. Include the target population and any statistical
information that you may have. Ideas for information to include here are:
• Length of time needs/problems have existed
• Whether problem has ever been addressed before, and what the outcome was
• Impact of problem to target population
• Impact of problem to surrounding populations

Element Description
The problem of ... Describe the problem
Affects ... Identify stakeholders affected by the problem
And results in ... Describe the impact of this problem on stakeholders and business activity
Benefits of a solution ... Indicate the proposed solution and list a few key benefits

1.4 Objective of the Project

[Identify changes desired to be seen upon completion of effort.]

1.4.1 General Objective

1.4.2 Specific Objective

1.5 Proposed System

[Identify and describe what the solution of the problem you are targeting briefly]

1.6Feasibility Study

1.6.1. Economic Feasibility

[Link].

1.6.2. Technical Feasibility

1.6.3. Schedule Feasibility

1.7Scope

Clarify what the project will (and will not) deliver, in order to avoid future shifts in the level of ambition.

1.8 Methodology

Describe what you will do during the upcoming months that you spend on the project. This requires real
thinking ahead. This section needs to answer the big question: “HOW DO YOU PLAN TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEM?”. In the previous semesters students were saying they will use “waterflow” or X methodology.
Yes! Waterflow is a methodology and it defines the next steps as requirements, design, implementation and
testing. But name-dropping a generic methodology doesn’t mean it is going to work for you. You need to tell
us the specifics of a methodology.
We need you to really think about how you plan to define the requirements. Are you going to interview
people? If so, who and when? How many people do you need to interview or distribute questioners for until
you clearly have the picture of the problem that you are working with. You need to convince us that in the
coming X weeks you are going to have a clearly defined requirement by following this clearly defined
methodology.
The same goes for design. Answer questions such as: When and how am I going to define the project’s
constraints? Does it need to be easy to use? Is performance what is expected of me? It is maintainability
that I worry about? Do I need to review and compare some alternate design strategies? How do you plan to
make sure that your constraints (what ever they are) are reflected in your project? [MAIN POINT: Review
your software engineering’s design lectures and convince us that you are going to do your project design
well. Show us that you know what you are getting into. BUT DON’T DO THE DESIGN JUST YET.]
The “Implementation methodology” also needs to be defined. What are the tools that you plan to use to
solve change your design to implementation? Do you plan to review alternate implementations? Are you
planning to use any libraries or frameworks? … Convince your audience that you know how you plan to
implement your project.
Testing is also important. How do you plan to test the product? Are you planning to use actual customers to
test if it really makes their life easier? How do you plan to assess success of the product? Do I need system
testing, or user testing, or integration testing? Why do I use them? How do I plan to do them? Reviewing
your software engineering lectures course notes may help.

1.9 Project Management plan

1.9.1. Time Management plan

 Title of the project 2021
Describe the entire project schedule using gant chart and additional tabular description if necessary

1.9.2. Quality Management Plan

[Describe the potential risks related to the software quality. Provide the project
management plan to enable quality. Describe the salient, planned testing considerations.]
[OPTIONAL CONTENT: Include any analysis plan for usability and acceptance testing.]

1.9.3. Communication Management Plan

State the principles for reporting and distributing information within the project for the different groups of
internal and external stakeholders. Include, for example, how often the reporting will take place, the
type of reports or information, the type of media in which it is presented, and the type of meetings
that will take place.
a) Internal communication and reporting: ensure that all information is available to those who need
it.
– Plan project meetings, how often they take place, and who will participate
– Define how project information will made available to the internal stakeholders (e.g. project
library)
– Define how and how often sub-projects and sub-contractors report to the project manager

CENTER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING Page 4

Title of the project 2021
– Define who participates milestone meetings
– Define how events will be communicated
b) External communication and reporting:
– Define what information will be provided to which stakeholders
– Define how and how often information will be provided to which stakeholders often
(e.g. project report)
– Plan regular meetings with external stakeholders (e.g. SteCo meetings)
Example:

Type of Method / Tool Frequency Information Participants /
