Proposal Write
Proposal Write
Describe the project area you are working on. For example, if you are working on a title called “Online
Banking for ABC Company”, then you write about Online banking in general.
Also, write about the organization for which you develop the system. Based on the previous title, this is about
ABC Company. It should summaries the background information to the problem to be studied and the
context within which it will be studied. It shows also the significance of the study, research idea etc.
Objective
What is/are the key objective(s) of the research? What is it that you plan to accomplish?
General objective
Specific objective
Write the objective of your project i.e. what you want to achieve at the end of the project. This is written as
general objective and specific objective that help to achieve the general objective. For the previous title, the
general objective would be developing an online banking system for ABC Company.
Related project(literature)
You are expected to review related project.
Methodology
Describe the main research methods and techniques to be used. Are you planning to base the study on
existing information or do you intend to undertake interviews or some kind of survey?
Under methodology, you discuss how you gather user requirements (interview, observation, document
analysis, etc.). After requirement gathering, you have to structure the requirements and develop software
models. Therefore, you should also specify how you model the system (OO, or structured approach) and why
you chose that approach. Finally, you can list out the tools you use for the project especially software tools
(the database type you use, the programming language you use, the UML modeling tools, etc.). Successful
applications must be carefully planned and developed before any meaningful coding takes place.
Feasibility
Write about the feasibility of your project in terms of economic benefit, technical knowledge required to
implement the system, and the time available for the project.
Economic feasibility:
Cost-benefit analysis – identify all the financial benefits and costs associated with a
project. Tangible vs. intangible benefits, Tangible vs. intangible costs and One-time
vs. recurring costs
e.g
Tangible Benefits One Time Tangible Costs Recurring Costs
Cost reduction or avoidance ---------------- 4,500.00
Error reduction -----------------------------------2,500.00
Increased reusability----------------------------7,500.00
Increased Speed of activity ------------------10,500.00
Improvement in management
Planning and control -------------------------------0
Increase sales ----------------------------------25,000.00
Total Benefit -------------------------------------50,000.00
Technical feasibility
Assessing the organization’s ability to construct the proposed system
Takes into account various project risk factors
Operationalfeasibility
Will the system achieve the objectives of the project?
Schedulefeasibility
Can the project be accomplished in a reasonable period?
Project management critical path scheduling can help answer this concern.
Legal/Contractual
Are there regulations or legal obligations that affect the success of the project?
Politicalfeasibility
Will the project have user and management support?
Will there be resistance?
