 Executive Summary

Cricket Archive (CricArch) is the answer. Cricket Archive (CricArch) was developed to
solve the issue of poor data collection at all levels in the sport of cricket in Jamaica. Our
software will be built to record and analyse all key metrics from the micro level of single
player statistics and individual games to the macro level of competitions, age groups and all
other formal stagings of cricket being played in the country or on the database. This is, in the
hope, that with better collection and ease to sort, it will lead to finding problematic areas in
the local players’ game. This enables our target customer will be able to improve the
cricketing level in the country.

The software will take the data and input from each game and analyse how, where
and when batsmen score their runs. It will also measure their average time per game. It will
show where and when bowlers are going for too many runs along with displaying calculated
striker rates, batting, and bowling averages and in game projected scores based off run rates.
Essentially, the software will show the individual players strengths and weakness including
their positionings on the field when either is displayed. This information will be showcased
by utilizing charts, graphs, and images to highlight patterns in a concise way for coaches to
make improvements.

The target customer would be the Jamaica Cricket Association, JCA, that would be
responsible to implement the software throughout the levels of cricket they desire. Ideally, we
would have our application be utilized for the Senior Cup and the Schoolboy level. The costs
would include the development of the software and the maintenance of it, which is estimated
to be $2.5 mil JMD, with the software being fully developed and tested in 6 months. The plan
to generate revenue is to charge a lump-sum fee to cover the fixed cost in the early stage of
development. The plan is to offer instalments with a down payment of 50% of the total cost
in the first year. The rest will be divided equal over the years with an annual subscription fee
which includes coverage of the maintenance cost.

Y2 = $807,000 * 1/ (1+.05)2 = $731,973

Y3 = $807,000 * 1/ (1+.05)3 = $697,117

 Justification
Out of the available lean canvas projects, we concluded that Cricket Archive,
(CricArch) provides the best opportunity to make an impression in the world of information
systems. The nature of this project is naturally heavily data driven and provides a solution to
a real-life problem in the cricketing industry locally. Its difficulty also allows us to delve into
the content of this course and allows us to test our knowledge and more importantly, our
application of the system development process. To properly justify the decision of this project
selection we assessed the three dimensions of feasibility: technical, economic and
organisational.

Firstly, economically, the project is expected to give a return of 24% on its initial
investment within 5 years which is a good return for the level of risk that is involved. The
payback period in which the initial investment will be retained is 3 years and 3 months. With
50% of the initial capital retained in the first year. Secondly, technically, the project is
difficult but more than capable of being brought to life. The software can be built –
outsourced - by competent developers. There are numerous qualified and affordable
developers available with the technical skills to build such a database. It can be implemented,
and it is more than possible to maintain it whilst giving it the necessary updates it needs to
improve the software and it’s capabilities. Finally, the organisational feasibility of the project
is viable. It will be of great use to the potential customers as they do need solutions to better
collation of data and statistics. It will be easy to use and be developed to meet the
requirements of the users.

Ultimately, the CricArch project has provided us with the capability to test our
knowledge and application of said knowledge. The project also has potential to go further
than a group project for a grade but actually be pursued. This is because out of all the projects
available it satisfies the three (3) dimensions of feasibility to ascertain whether or not a
project is worth pursuing.
