 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction
Give an overview of the system to be developed i.e. Introduce the project title, scope and content

1.2 Background of the study

Talk about the motivation/passion/need for the system here before you proceed to your 1.2.1
1.2.1 Background of the organisation
1.2.2 Organisational Structure
1.2.3 Vision
1.2.4 Mission Statement
Put more flesh here giving motivation of the study to link to 1.3 ahead ie according to the
organisation how is what is in the Problem Statement be a challenge, how does it affect
organisational operations; i.e. here you discuss the problem area in detail.

1.3 Problem Statement

This should be just ONE statement/ sentence spelling out clearly the major problem

1.4 Project Aim

The aim should be, to develop a system that address the problem stated above in 1.3, in one
sentence

1.5 Objectives
Note that objectives must be S M A R T. Avoid generic objectives like add, update, store, retrieve
etc. Base the objectives on the DFD, give 4 or 5 objectives. These are objectives of what the system
should be able to do to correct the problem at hand. Start with this statement: The system should
be able to:

1.6 Methods and Instruments

Software tools, data gathering techniques and methodology to be used

The projects should fall under the following business solutions:
a) Marketing/Web Designing/Mobile Computing/Big Data (Cloud Computing)
b) Networking/Data Communications

conducting day to day business (this will become your 1.3 problem statement) then think of or
come up with a system that will be a solution to the problems i.e. develop a system that solve this
problem.
