INTRODUCTION
For this project, you will be required to put into practice the tasks associated with the Systems Analysis and Design module. You should work in GROUPS OF FOUR (4) for this project. It is essential that individual members of the group realize their responsibility to their peers and behave in a professional manner.
DELIVERABLES
Group Assignment (70%)
Each team should: Analyze the existing system carefully as provided in the case study. In areas that lack information, the team may make logical assumptions which need to be documented in their reports. Identify the problems in the existing systems and propose a solution. Prepare a feasibility report. A schedule feasibility report and an operational feasibility report would suffice o The schedule feasibility report should contain: Workload matrix Gantt chart to be done using an appropriate project management tool o The operational feasibility should be discussed using PIECES framework Compare some appropriate / related methodologies and suggest a suitable one for developing the proposed system. Justify the selection Identify the breakdown of work associated with the chosen methodology which would be undertaken. (Note: the tasks should be limited to the analysis and design stage, i.e. not including the development / coding and stages thereafter). Suggest with justification and apply appropriate techniques of determining user requirements. Summarize the findings. Demonstrate and apply the key techniques of analysis for the chosen methodology based on the findings. Develop a prototype of the proposed solution using a proprietary database tool by designing the input, output and dialogue screen that matches with the logical design. Document each stage of the analysis and design to the appropriate standards.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Contribution
Students are reminded that this is designed to be a group effort. It is not therefore sensible for every group member to be involved in every activity, though overall findings should be discussed and agreed by the group as a whole. Each individual is required to attach to his / her report a signed peer-to-peer evaluation form (to be provided by the module lecturer). This form allows the individual to assess his / her peers contribution to the project as well as illustrates the contribution of each team member. It should be remembered that people who do not contribute to the exercise cannot reasonably expect to get any marks from it.
Minutes of meetings
Each group is to regularly submit the minutes of meetings to the module lecturer. The report should among other things contain details such as: date, start time, end time and venue of the meeting attendees / absentees with or without apology reporting of previous meetings / outcomes / findings details of discussion based on agenda / conclusions drawn action list for group members Hardcopies of the minutes of meeting need to be attached as appendices in the documentation. Any difficulties / problems faced during the duration of the project such as non cooperative members, etc, should be pointed out in the minutes.

Documentation Standards
Project documentation should be complete The project documentation should be at least of average standard in terms of language, layout and flow The contents of the project documentation should be appropriately structured References should be accurate, relevant and up to date References should be done using Harvards Name Referencing Diagrams / tables / graphs which have been used in the documentation should be properly captioned

MARKING CRITERIA
Distinction (75% and above)
This grade will be assigned to work where the documentation is complete and describes in detail, with little or no errors, the following components: introduction, feasibility study, selection of methodologies, selection and application of investigation techniques and analysis / logical design in accordance with excellent documentation standards. To obtain this grade, the candidates individual assignment should show all techniques of methodology applied with little or no errors. All deliverables of the individual component should be coherent with detailed description to explain the diagrams. Overall documentation standards for both the group project as well as the individual assignment should be of excellent quality. In order to obtain a grade at this level, individuals should be able to address all issues with regards to not only their own component of the module but also be those of the other group members. Individuals contribution to the project, at this level should be more than 75% and overall peer evaluation should indicate excellent standards.

Fail(Below 50%)
This grade will be assigned to work where, most of the basic requirements of the documentation listed above, such as introduction, feasibility reports, logical process models, data dictionary are of poor standard which is evident in the hardcopy of the documentation. The physical design of the system in terms of the interactive screen design and report shows little or no mapping / linking with the logical design presented in the documentation. The documentation is of poor standard in terms of language, layout and flow. Minimal or no referencing was done. Group presentation of the team has poor visual aids with irrelevant information presented and poor coordination among group members. Individuals display on the average a poor level of professionalism and project knowledge. Peer-to-peer evaluation of individuals contribution is poor.
