Project Analysis
Students are expected to:
- produce a clear statement that describes the problem area and specific problem that is being solved/investigated
- outline how they researched the problem
- state for whom the problem is being solved/investigated
- provide background in sufficient detail for a third party to understand the problem being solved/investigated
- produce a numbered list of measurable, "appropriate" specific objectives, covering all required functionality of the solution or areas of investigation (Appropriate means that the specific objectives are single purpose and at a level of detail that is without ambiguity.)
- report any modelling of the problem that will inform the Design stage, for example a graph/ network model of Facebook connections or an E-R model.
A fully scoped analysis is one that has:
- researched the problem thoroughly
- has clearly defined the problem being solved/investigated
- omitted nothing that is relevant to subsequent stages
- statements of objectives which clearly and unambiguously identify the scope of the project
