Assignment Report

Objectives:
The assignment's overall objective is that the students should acquire an overview of principles, methods and techniques of systems development, and gather experience from a development project in which a specific development method is used. On successful completion of this assignment students should be able to:

Define and explain the fundamental concepts methods and techniques used in information systems analysis and design.
Apply contemporary information systems analysis and design methods and techniques to real-world case studies.
Apply systems analysis and design concepts, modelling and project management techniques to real-world case studies.
Effectively communicate systems analysis and design methods and techniques to real world problems.

Students are expected to identify their "real-world" organisation. If some students do not have access to a "real-world" organisation, a fictitious organisation based on a real world organisation will be acceptable.

Finding a "real-world" organisation:

If you are linked to an organisation (government or private organisation for an example) ask what the need for improving the performance level or the process flow (for example; sales, order, or payment process), choose the highest priority and work around that.

Do you have any family or friends involved in the business organisation, or do you know anyone with a business organisation? Ask them about the performance level or the process flow type that they need (keep it simple).

Otherwise, do you have any friends with ideas for a business organisation? What would be the major performance level or the process flow type that they need for this organisation?

Do not try to solve all the problems for the organisation in the few weeks you have and just focus on one problem.

TASK 1: Organisation Background
Briefly introduce your chosen organisation in terms of name, the industry it operates within, products and services, clients, major competitors and competing for products/services, major processes, ownership, key personnel and key issues/challenges.

TASK 2: Time Management Plan
Students are required to provide an effective time management plan that will lead to successful implementation of your project.

TASK 2.1: Work Breakdown Structure
Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) for your project with date, and summary of project activities. Use a table with columns for activity number, start date, finish date, activity name, activity description, planned action, status, and any other notes. The purpose of WBS is to identify each task in your project and include an estimated duration.

TASK 2.2: Task-Sequencing Approaches
After work breakdown structure (WBS) has been designed, students need to present the project details that are mentioned in the WBS using the following Task-Sequencing Approaches:

PERT Chart
Gantt Chart

TASK 3: Fact-Finding
Develop a fact-finding for planning and analysis in order to determine improvements in organisational processes. This fact-finding plan should include; interviews, documentation review, observation, questionnaires, and research.

TASK 4: Organisation Chart
Review and draw the organisation chart for your chosen organisation. Then, list the individuals (working at various levels of organisational structure) and their roles for those who you would like to interview. Prepare a list of objectives for each of the interviews you will conduct.

TASK 5: "AS IS" Process
Provide an "AS IS" process diagram by using Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) or Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation. The "AS IS" diagram should explain the process flow of your chosen organisation. Then, explain which process flow in this diagram that you want to improve.

TASK 6: Report to Top Management
Assume you have completed the planning and analysis phases of your project for your chosen organisation. Write a report to the top management (CEO). This report at a minimum should include the objectives, background, processes undertaken, scope, and recommendations to the top management (CEO).

TASK 7: Presentation/Report Structure
This task includes providing a cover page (title page) for your report and writing up your report details with clarity and professionalism.

TASK 8: References
All documents cited in your assignment must list in a single alphabetical list at the end of the assignment.

Abstract is one of the important parts of reports, research papers, and academic assignments. The abstract is often the last item that you write, but the first thing people read when they want to have a quick overview of the whole paper. I suggest you leave writing the abstract to the end because you will have a clearer picture of all of your work. A good abstract should has one well-developed paragraph that is coherent and concise, and is able to stand alone as a unit of information covers all the essential academic elements of the full-length paper, namely the background, purpose, focus, methods, results and conclusions contains no information not included in the paper. Table of Contents The table of contents usually includes the titles of the first-level headers, and often includes second-level or section titles (A-heads), and occasionally even third-level titles (subsections or B-heads).
