For this work your project team will develop a project proposal for an information system design for an organization. Your TEAM Final Project will be a compilation of each phase of the development of your project.

PROJECT CHECKLIST: Your TEAM Final Project must include the following components:

Proposal:

Executive Summary (briefly describe the context, content summary, highlights)

Current Situation (background, business needs; constraints)

System Objectives (functionalities)

Solution Description (approaches and alternatives)

Resources needed (people, training, equipment)

Cost estimates, anticipated benefits leading to economical feasibility

Technical and Operational (organizational) feasibilities

Schedule (major activities and timelines; use a GANTT chart)

Conclusion (risks, if any; additional notes)

Appendix (if any, providing additional supporting details)

Requirements Specification:

Executive Summary (summary of report content and highlights)

Revised Cost (no need to examine the benefits)

Revised Schedule (for design, implementation in some detail)

Process Description of the System (using context and DFDs)

Data Description of the System (using ERDs)

Conclusion (any identified risks, your plans on further work)

Appendices (needed only if you have any additional pertinent material)

Design Specification:

Executive Summary (design report summary)

Revisions to Schedule (refine schedule for the remaining activities)

General System Design (system architecture, network model)
