1. Introduction
The case study that is given for the project is for international charity foundation. This
charity is a private fund which is associated with the Australian Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme
organization and facilitators In-country. The main objective of the international charity foundation is
to give motivation to the people who are of young age so that they can realise their potential
through the educational and medical assistance in different countries. The number of people that
are gain benefit from the international charity foundation is huge as I one week near about 3000
people are provided medical and educational assistance over the all sites. The international charity
foundation growth is consistent as they opened several branches in the many countries like Zambia,
Myanmar, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and India. As the foundation is expanding so many people are
getting benefitted from this (Isaias and Issa, 2015). The main resource of the funding of this
company is coming from the donation of the people and from the countries that are participating in
the medical and educational program.
The main objective of the project is to grow the awareness among the people in
terms of the educational and medical assistance. By providing service to more people the
foundation is also growing rapidly. Aim of the project is to grow as much as possible and
cover a large section of population to provide them with assistance and motivate them as
per their potential (Walsham, 2018).
The aim of the report is to identify the influence of information technology when
adapted in the international charity foundation. The report will also identify the system
development approach that the ICF will take. The functional requirement of the
international charity foundation will be identified in the project and the non-functional
requirements will also discussed and justified. Another objective of this report is to identify
the key stakeholders for the project (Laudon and Laudon, 2015). The investigation techniques
that are useful for the particular project will be identified and their usefulness will be
justified in the following report.

2. Approach to Systems Development
It is necessary for the international charity foundation to develop its information
system. The charity foundation is using the old information system where many task have to
done manually. There are many problem that are associated with the current system of the
international charity foundation and to mitigate these issues the charity must develop its
information system. The company is using processes that are manual for filling the forms of
application and for student enrolment in appropriate programs. The staffs are not always
available to solve the problems of the students or the people associated with the charity.
Stock levels are not maintained well as a result different place have different level of supply
of resource (Pearlson, Saunders and Galletta, 2016). To address these issues the information
technology will have to be implemented in the international charity foundation.
For this project of information system development is agile approach is chosen from
the all of the project development methodologies. ICF should take the agile methodology
for its information system development (Dykes and Loomis, VeriFone, 2016).
For this project ICF taken the agile methodology because the agile methodology ha
many benefits to the whole project from the project initiation to the project completion.
The agile methodology have the ability to mitigate the limitations of the other project
management methodologies. In the project where the information system of the
international charity foundation many changes will be required while developing the
project. As the project use old system so while the new system development will require
many changes in the system. For these complexity agile methodology is the best option as it
is the most flexible approach where any changes can be made while the system
development and after the development as well. It is the lightest framework for the project
management which will be able to help the project to meet its goal and objectives. Because
of these methodology the charity foundation will be able to reduce the overall risk that is
possessed on the information system (Abbasi, Sarker and Chiang, 2016). The agile approach
also helps the project to accelerate the business value. As the whole approach follows an
iterative approach so it will be easier to adopt the change requirement in the system
development. By the use of agile methodology the issues associated with the International
Charity Foundation will be mitigated and the need of the people will be met.
