Software Engineering Project: Design and Implementation

This comprehensive software engineering project requires students to design and implement a system, starting with defining a use case. They must then create visually-represented diagrams using Microsoft Visio, including use case, activity, and system sequence diagrams. A high-level architectural diagram showcasing the system's components and environment is also necessary. The project demands attention to user interface (UI) design, illustrated through storyboards for at least four screens, adhering to best practices. Finally, a detailed deployment plan outlining testing strategies and implementation procedures is crucial. The assignment emphasizes hands-on experience with software development tools and methodologies.

1802ICT Assignment – Project Planning, Analysis and Design
Report
Weight: 55%
Rationale:
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to apply all the concepts of
planning and project management to a practical scenario involving a business information
system. You are required to thoroughly analyse and design your proposed information
system.
Groups:
You may work in a team of up to two (2) people.
Task:
You have been contracted by a company to develop an information system for $50,000.
During this assignment, you will undertake a thorough systems analysis and design on the
proposed system.
The business that you design the information system for is of your own choosing. Preferably
develop a system for an area that you are interested in, have had prior experience, or perhaps
for a company you work for.
You cannot design the system for the same company that another student has chosen, nor can
you reproduce a design for an existing well-known company. The information system you
chose should be of small to medium size/complexity.
You are required to deliver the following specifications before the project can commence:
1. Identify the Problem – Provide a system vision document that outlines the problem
description, system capabilities, and the expected business benefits (minimum 300
words).
(Insert system vision document here)
Problem Description: Shiels Jewellers is an Australia based jewellery retailer organization. The
organization is currently using the manual processes for managing the business operations. The
organization clients also have to visit the shop for buying products. The organization is now wishing
to have an ERP system and e-commerce site.

System Capabilities: The system must be able to doing the backoffice tasks without any intervention
of human. The system should be generating reports and provide suggestions based on the data
collected from e-commerce website. It should handle more than hundred requests simultaneously.
Expected Business Benefits: Shiels Jewellers is expected to reach more than 5 times customers from
different locations, thus increasing the customer base. The errors in the business process can be
reduced up to 2 percent. The system will allow the organization make more profit by reducing the
operational cost by three times.

3. Perform a Risk and Feasibility Analysis – Complete the following tasks (minimum
500 words):
a. Determine organisational risks and feasibility.
(Insert answer here)
Shiels Jewellery can suffer from loss of customer, a crucial part of organizational risk,
because of the inconvenience of the system. If the system is not able to gather adequate and
correct information, then it can lead to decision making issues, wrong estimation of resource
and many more.
The above risks can be mitigated through the following processes.
1) The system will be tested properly before deploying in Shiels jewellley environment.

2) Proper post implementation evaluation will be carried out
3) Several data verification methods will be implemented before storing data
4) The decision making process will be validated by several validation protocols
b. Evaluate technological risks and feasibility.
(Insert answer here)
The system of Shiels Jewellery can be affected by the data lost issue. This issues is pretty
common for ICT systems. If proper Backup/Restore plan is implemented then this issue can
be mitigated.
c. Assess resource risks and feasibility.
(Insert answer here)
The system may not be able to scale the usage of resource with the organization need. The
extra usage of resource at lean seasons and low usage of resource in peak seasons can be
harmful. The organization needs to plan before sharing the resources among the entities.
d. Identify schedule risks and feasibility.
(Insert answer here)
The schedule risk is a major risk in the system development project. Few challenges and
issues may delay a phase and estimated time for next phase will have to be compromised.
This may lead to improper completion of project. The project manager has to put proper
effort and needs to divide each project in most feasible way.

4. Establish the Project Environment – Complete the following tasks (minimum 500
words):
a. Provide a table outlining information that will be captured during system
development, the tools and software that will be used to develop the system,
and outline who can update / view the information.
(Insert table and explanation here)

b. Describe the work environment.
(Insert answer here)
A proper office will be provided to the whole project management team. The project manager
will be spending most of the time in headquarter of Shiels Jewellery so that the client
organization has every information on progress. The system will be implanted in java,
database will be in Oracle, Website in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap and few other tools
will be used. The business analyst will be communicating with the end users to gather data.
c. Describe the processes and procedures that will be used. (Page 276)
(Insert answer here)
Defining Project: First of all the project will be defined by the project manager. During the
definition, the project scope and deliverables will be developed.
Requirement Gathering: The business analyst will be gathering the requirements of the end
users and send them to the project manager. The project manager will send those data to
system analyst for initiating the system requirement gathering process.
Evaluation: The data gathered will be analysed against the deliverables and scope of the
project. If all the things are good, then next process will be initiated.

5. Schedule the Work – Complete the following tasks (minimum 300 words):
a. Provide a work breakdown structure (WBS) for one (1) of the subsystems.
