1. Problem Identification and System Vision Document
Introduction
A prominent retailer of sporting goods, City Sports and F1 offers a wide selection of apparel, equipment,
and accessories through both their physical store in Melbourne, Australia, and their online store. The
main goal of the suggested information system is to improve City Sports and F1's operational
effectiveness and customer experience. A customer relationship management (CRM) system, an
inventory management system, an integrated online store, and a dynamic marketing automation system
are just a few of the essential elements that this comprehensive system is expected to include.

I've kept a strong link to the sporting goods business since I've had a long-standing interest for it. City
Sports and F1 have consistently made a good impact on me as a devoted customer because of their great
products and customer service. This familiarity gives me more faith that I will be able to conceptualize
and implement an information system that perfectly complements City Sports' and F1's goals. My
expertise includes creating information systems for several industries, including retail, healthcare, and
education, and I have a thorough understanding of project management techniques. With my combination
of talents, I can confidently deliver the project on time and within the allotted budget.

I'm excited about the possibility of working with City Sports and F1 to create an information system that
not only promotes business growth but also improves client experiences. The envisioned system is ready
to transform operations and improve the entire client experience, acting as a priceless asset. I
wholeheartedly advise starting a conversation with City Sports and F1 to go deeper into the specifics of
my idea. Clearly, a collaboration with them has the potential to result in the creation of an information
system that is precisely crafted to meet their wants and aspirations..

Addressing Challenges and Strategic Advancement through an Information System


City Sports and F1, a player with a physical store in Melbourne and a strong online presence, struggles
with growth-restricting challenges in the competitive sports goods retail market. Their success is
hampered by the lack of a centralised customer relationship management (CRM) system, ineffective
inventory management, and absence of an online store on their website.

Proposed System Capabilities:


In response, the suggested information system presents itself as a complete remedy, furnished with a
variety of possibilities. The cornerstone will be a strong CRM system that streamlines the recording of
customer interactions and transactions and allows for personalised suggestions and successful marketing
campaigns. A sophisticated inventory management system will also dynamically control stock levels and
reorder procedures, preventing stockouts and cutting expenses associated with surplus inventory. An
integrated online store will be featured into their website, offering smooth online buying experiences, to
open up a larger client base. A strategic marketing automation component that automates campaigns for
wider reach and customised interaction will be the system's climax.

Expected business advantages: There is a mix of concrete and intangible results in the anticipated
benefits. Increased revenue, reduced operating expenses, increased customer happiness, and informed
decision-making are examples of tangible benefits. Increased brand awareness, enhanced consumer
loyalty, and a more competitive advantage are examples of intangible rewards.

Alignment with Strategic Goals:


Crucially, this proposed system seamlessly aligns with City Sports and F1's strategic objectives. Firstly,
personalized recommendations and efficient marketing amplify sales channels, while intelligent inventory
management effectively slashes costs and precludes stockouts. This transformative system, fostering
improved customer engagement through personalized interactions and a wider online presence, is
intricately intertwined with City Sports and F1's pursuit of enhancing customer satisfaction.

Ultimately, the envisioned information system symbolizes not just an operational enhancement, but a
profound strategic move that positions City Sports and F1 on an upward trajectory, solidifying their
foothold in the sporting goods industry.

2. Quantifying Project Approval Factors


To quantify project approval factors effectively, follow these steps: identify key factors, assign weights,
quantify factors, and calculate an overall approval score. By assigning numerical values to factors like
cost, time, and risk, stakeholders' priorities become clear, aiding better decision-making and project
approval likelihood. Involving stakeholders, seeking varied information sources, and remaining adaptable
are vital. Through this approach, a comprehensive understanding of stakeholder priorities emerges,
allowing informed decision-making and enhancing project approval prospects.

emergence of changes or delays are among the factors that should be taken into account when
determining this timeframe. For the project to stay on schedule and under budget, diligent progress
monitoring and wise schedule modifications are essential. Certain tactics are crucial for managing the
project timeline properly. Detail each work in a thorough project plan, dividing challenging projects into
more manageable chunks. Determine the time allotments needed for each activity, and use tools like
Gantt charts to carefully monitor the project's progress. Keep an eye on the project plan on a regular basis,
making adjustments as necessary to keep it in line with the progress. Transparency is facilitated through
extensive stakeholder distribution of the project schedule, and it is crucial to handle timetable changes
precisely. By putting these tactics into practise, the project's timetable may be strengthened with realism
and realizability, clearing the way for a successful and on-time conclusion.

City Sports and F1 must use a comprehensive strategy to successfully reduce the variety of human
resource-related risks connected with the planned information system project. To determine the necessary
knowledge, a complete skills assessment must be conducted. Then, specific training efforts must be
developed to fill up any skill shortages in the workforce. A common knowledge of resource availability is
ensured by transparently managing expectations with stakeholders. In addition, preventative measures
like contingency planning and having backup resources defend against potential interruptions caused by
team absence or unanticipated events. The project's flexibility and resilience are further increased by
developing a realistic project timetable that has been approved by experts and by regularly
communicating with stakeholders. City Sports and F1 can successfully traverse these human resource
risks by using these multiple tactics, which increases the probability of a project's success..

Strategies to maintain a feasible project timeline


 Establish a realistic timeline: Setting up a realistic timeline is the first step in keeping a workable
project schedule. This entails carefully taking into account the project's complexity, the resources
at hand, and any inherent dangers. In order to make sure that the schedule is reasonable, it also
entails obtaining feedback from experts and stakeholders.
 Break the project down into smaller pieces. This is essential after you have a realistic schedule for
the project. It will be simpler to monitor progress and spot any issues as a result. Additionally, it
will be simpler to modify the timetable as necessary.
 Establish milestones: Setting milestones can help you track your work and make sure your project
is on track. They should be explicit, quantifiable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. They
should also be set at regular intervals during the project.
 Routinely interact with stakeholders: Throughout the project, it's critical to routinely
communicate with stakeholders. This will keep everyone informed and assist to prevent surprises.
It will also be beneficial to see any possible issues right away and deal with them.
 Be adaptable: When it comes to the project timetable, it's crucial to be adaptable because things
don't always go as expected. This entails having the flexibility to change the timeframe as
necessary and using creativity to problem-solving.
 Use project management tools: You can track progress, spot possible issues, and modify the
schedule as necessary by using a variety of project management tools. These resources might be a
great help in keeping a realistic project deadline.

4. Project Environment
Information Capture, Tools, and Software:
Information Capture Software/Tool User Roles

The particular software or tools that will be employed will rely on the particular requirements of the
business. The table, however, gives a broad overview of the information categories that must be recorded,
the tools and/or software that can be used to record it, and the user roles who will be in charge of updating
and viewing the data. It is crucial to remember that any software or tools used to collect information
should be specifically customized to the demands of the organization. For instance, a small business
might not require the usage of CRM software, whereas a large business with a sizable customer base
might. Similar to this, a business that sells goods online would require the usage of a different order
management system than one that sells goods in brick-and-mortar stores. Additionally, the user roles that
will be in charge of seeing and modifying the data should be customized to the particular requirements of
the business. For instance, the marketing team might be in charge of updating product data while the sales
people might be in charge of updating customer data. To make wise decisions, the management team will
probably need access to all the data. The organization can make sure that the information system is
successful and efficient by carefully examining the information capturing techniques, software/tools, and
user roles.

Work Environment:
In order to promote the best development team performance, the proposed information system for City
Sports and F1 requires a well-structured work environment, including both physical and virtual domains.

The focus is on creating an environment that fosters cooperation and creativity in the actual workstation.
This calls for welcoming environments that are well-lit to promote collaboration. To accommodate
various work dynamics, there must be adequate space for individual activities as well as specific areas for
team meetings and brainstorming sessions.

This collaborative mindset is complemented by the virtual world, which necessitates a variety of
collaboration tools and platforms:

1. Task tracking and progress monitoring are made easy using project management software.

2. Tools for communication: Real-time team communication is facilitated by platforms like Slack or
Microsoft Teams.

3. Tools for Cooperative Document Editing: Google Docs or Microsoft Office 365 allow for Cooperative
Document Editing.

4. Video conferencing tools provide face-to-face virtual meetings through services like Zoom or Google
Meet.
Regardless of geographical locations, effective communication is ensured by tailoring the tool choices to
the team's specific needs.

Several tactics that improve the surroundings also improve the workplace culture:

1. Promoting a Culture of Collaboration: Promoting a culture of collaboration facilitates idea sharing and
group problem-solving.

2. Consistent Feedback Mechanisms: Feedback that is both positive and constructive helps people
improve their skills and performances.

3. Celebrating Successes: Maintaining motivation and engagement levels requires acknowledging


accomplishments, both major and little.

4. Creating Opportunities for Learning: Team excitement is increased by supporting skill development
and career progression through learning and development programs.

The development team's success is fostered by integrating these physical and virtual aspects, encouraging
a culture of cooperation, putting in place feedback systems, rewarding accomplishments, and placing a
high priority on continual learning.

Processes and Proceduress


The specific project requirements will determine the development approach and project management
procedures for the proposed information system at City Sports and F1. Given the complexity of the
project and the dynamic nature of the organization, using an agile methodology seems like a wise
decision.

Agile is appropriate for this project based on a number of characteristics, including:

1. Complexity and Adaptability: The project must take into account the company's constant change.
Agile's capacity to adapt fits very well with the requirement to handle these changes smoothly.
2. Customer-Centric Approach: City Sports and F1 are customer-focused businesses that profit from
Agile's iterative structure, which encourages regular client input to raise satisfaction.
3. Innovation: Agile encourages experimentation and innovation, enabling the search for novel
solutions by the business.

Considerable agile approaches include:

• Scrum: Scrum uses sprints to concentrate on certain projects over brief time periods (usually 2
weeks), making it ideal for smaller teams.
• Kanban: Designed for bigger teams, Kanban provides clarity and efficient work management by
visualizing tasks that are currently being worked on.

The choice of project management techniques will also be based on the particulars of the project, however
some fundamental techniques could include iterative project planning, open task management,
stakeholder communication, proactive risk management, and controlled change management. This all-
encompassing strategy guarantees effective project management and on-time delivery.

It's important to understand that there are several approaches to project management and development
methods. The ideal approach relies on the complexity of the project and the requirements of the company.
The project team may develop a technique that fits the project and increases the chance of success by
taking into account the aforementioned elements.
