Purpose
This Project Feasibility Assessment Report presents the preliminary findings of
our investigation into the feasibility of your project to analyze, specify, design,
and build a prototype for the upcoming Bina Nusantara Computer Club (BNCC)
Information System. This report also outlines our proposal of the procedures
and schedule to be followed during the project. If you find any discrepancies or
misconceptions, please bring them to our immediate attention.
Project Description
This section of the report describes the history that led to this project and the
proposed project scope. It functions as a bird’s eye view to the project and
partially serves as a basis for further project specifications.
History Leading to this Project Proposal
BNCC is a Student Activity Unit which operates under the consent of Bina
Nusantara University. It is organized as a club that focuses on computer-
related interest groups. It accepts approximately 300 new members yearly,
most of which are first-year undergraduate students. Its activities include
tutoring, member meetings, annual publications, visitations, contests,
seminars, expositions, and research. Its major revenues come from the yearly
members’ fees and alumnus’ donations.
At the core of BNCC lies a committee which organizes all of its activities. The
committee is divided categorically into several major divisions, and each led by
a Division Chair. Each of the chairs is organized horizontally and answers
directly to the General Chair.
The need for an information system was communicated in a meeting conducted
by Faran Gunawan, the present coordinator of Fave Club. Fave Club recognizes
that the increasing number activities performed by BNCC and likewise the
number of members involved in it poses a growing load to its core committee.
In order to provide a better service for its members, BNCC requires a strong
information system to back its daily activities.
While Fave Club has the necessary programmer human resource to perform the
implementation of an information system, it lacks an analyst to complete the
system specification. That is why Sasmito Adibowo was invited by Faran
Gunawan to assist developing the system.
Scope of this Project
Project Environment
This section of the survey describes the project environment in terms of project
participants, problems and opportunities to be addressed, and project
constraints that will or may limit eventual solutions. Figure 2 represents a
context diagram of the current system.
From the diagram, it is noticeable that Member and Event play a significant role
in the system. This is due to the fact that those two are the most important
entities in all of BNCC’s activities.
The various Events held by BNCC are mostly intended for the Members.
Examples of such events include tutoring, member meetings, and visitations.
An event, such as expositions and seminars, may also be targeted at the outside
communities. In that case the member may choose to take an active part in it.
Events may be announced beforehand, or be reported after it happened in the
Media that BNCC publishes.
Each event may generate Documents such as proposals, invitations, correspon-
dence, etc. These Documents provide a written record about the Events. The
current practice for document storage is, after the event had finished, the
resulting documentations are recorded onto CD-ROMs and placed as archives.
After some experience and sufficient management skills, a Member may be
elected as a Core Committee. A Member may also choose to participate in an
Ad-Hoc Committee which organizes Sporadic Events. The Core Committee
runs the general daily operations of BNCC, among which organizes Annual
Events. The Core Committee also operates the BNCC Library which the
Member can borrow Books from. Annually the Core Committee publishes a
periodical Media, which may take the form of a Magazine or a CD-ROM. A
member may claim these Media at the BNCC secretariate.

Proposal
We propose to perform an analysis and design for an information system that
supports the daily activities of BNCC. Should the constraints allow, the project
will continue to build a prototype of the system. This section of the report
outlines our proposal.
Project Budget
This section of the report covers the estimated costs for this project. It should
be emphasized that these figures represent mere estimates, which are based on
minimal background information. These estimates will continually be revised
as the project progresses.
Although this is essentially a charity project, budget calculations will be
included nonetheless. These calculations may be used to estimate the efforts
spent in the project, and also serve to assist the estimation of the system’s
worth as an asset to BNCC.

Conclusion
The development of an information systems solution is not a trivial task. This
preliminary feasibility study only uncovers more terrains to explore. Nonethe-
less, it is expected that this document may serve as a valuable management
input in making strategic decisions and committing resources.
Should the project considered worthy, the next phase of development will be the
detailed study and analysis phase. Upon completion of that phase, a thorough
understanding to the task at hand should be obtained.
