Project Proposal Page 9 System Justification - At this point, you will likely not be able to quantify all the costs and benefits of the system. However, you should be able to list some tangible and intangible costs and benefits that will lay the groundwork for a more precise business case in later stages of the project. Specify your consulting costs as if you were a real consultant (you may use $115/hr for programmers, $125/hr for analysts, $100/hr for network technicians and $110/hr for database designers.) The hours estimated should be how many hours you think it will take you during the semester to complete the project. Include hardware and software estimates as appropriate. List the possible risks as well for both the customer and your group. Assume a total cost for the entire project of about $200,000 (could be more or less, but make sure that you can justify later in the project)
