Although, not every organization will use the same steps but they all agree on the elements that are being done in the phases that are taking place. In phase one of the SDLC this would be the planning strategic approach there are managers and stakeholders if any that “will evaluate the effectiveness of the systems in terms of meeting the entity’s mission as well as the objectives” (Singleton, 2007) of the organization. There are general guidelines as well as system budgeting that will have to be done as well as management and stakeholders will develop a long term plan for the system that will be in strategic nature. In the phase one there will several documents that will be generated which will include a “long-term plan, policies for the selection of IT projects, long-term and short-term budgeting plans, as well as feasibility of studies and project authorizations” (Singleton, 2007). This then will project proposals that then should be submitted to management and stakeholders about the project schedule as well the approved projects. Phase two of the SDLC is the system analysis phase which the “IT professionals will gather the required information as well as facts and samples” (Singleton, 2007) that will be used in the IT project which is primarily that of the end users. Then a system analysis will then process the requirements that will produce documents that will summarize...

...business can go for help, advice, and services to help them in getting started. These are called business incubators. Business incubators can be located in a rural or urban location, and provide skilled services, technology such as internet, or phone lines, and minor assembly of products (Schermerhorn, 2013). Discussion Content The importance of a feasibility study and a business plan. When thinking about a feasibility study and a business plan, one may think that they are the same thing. They are not. A feasibility study is a study that determines whether a potential business will be able to operate successfully. A business plan formulates how and where the business will go and how it will be financed. Usually, one would execute a feasibility study, and then prepare a business plan. A feasibility study can be very helpful initially. It assists the entrepreneur in addressing an important question, “should we proceed with the proposed project idea?” (Hofstrand & Holz-Clause, 2009). By researching and contemplating different ideas in the study, a person can determine which course of action will be the best to adapt. A feasibility study develops into the foundation of a business plans (Hofstrand & Holz-Clause, 2009). Business plans are also important. They provide the entrepreneur with a “road map” with details on how the business will be started. Business plans can help potential business owners in obtaining the financial background needed to start the business. There is a TV...

..."Feasibility Study Suitability Tool - Instructions 1. For each criteria, select a value between one and three, where one is the highest and three is the lowest assignable score. For ""Anticipated Project Size"" use your internal metrics as guidance. For example, if you use lines of code, then mentally assign ball park values to Small, Medium and Large as part of determining whether to give this criteria a high or low score. Follow a similar process ""Anticipated Duration"". Since project duration depends on project complexity, mentally categorize earlier projects as short, average or long duration to help put the current project in context. 2. After assigning a score for each criteria, view the Feasibility Study Suitability Indicator to discover the best method to use for determining project viability. 3. Omitted criteria will give an inaccurate result, so ensure all criteria are scored before checking the indicator."

...Comments/Suggestions: CPT 125 Pre-Requisite: Completion of 1st Year Courses Introduction: Systems Design is a central part of systems development. It comprises the process of turning a set of user requirements into an implementable system and encompasses various activities to achieve this end. Alternative models are challenging the traditional systems development life cycle. Alongside this, two approaches to systems development are emerging: the traditional structured approach; and the object oriented approach. The systems design activity will be studied in the context of these trends. Students should make themselves familiar with at least one traditional approach (e.g. SSADM) and one object oriented approach (e.g. UML). Aims: To understand the role of systems design within various systems development life cycles To develop awareness of the different approaches that may be taken to systems design To understand and apply the tools and techniques that are currently used by systems designers Formatted: Superscript Objectives: Describe different life cycle models and explain the contribution of systems design within them Discuss various systems development approaches and explain their strengths and weaknesses 1 30/09/1123/09/10 Evaluate the tools and techniques that may be used by a system designer in a given context Use appropriate methods to produce a system design for a given scenario Provide suitable systems documentation for a design Discuss the CASE...

...Chapter I THE PROBLEM This chapter discusses the problem of the study. It contains the background and rationale, statement of the problem and objectives, significance, scope and limitation, research design and methodology of the study. 1.1 Background and Rationale of the Study Due to increase in population size, the world today craves for a higher consumption of biodiesel, vegetable oil, health supplements, cosmetics and other food and non – food products that people cannot live without. One main source of these products is African Oil Palm. According to Escobar et al. (2008) the African Oil Palm is the most productive species among oleaginous plants. It is a traditional native crop for the West and Central African communities, occurring between Angola and Gambia. This plays a major part of the culture of Africans and they use it both in the household and in the market. The quest for renewable energy has intensified since the escalating price of crude petroleum in the recent years. Renewable energy such as biodiesel has the potential to replace petroleum – derived transportation fuel in the future. Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradable diesel fuel extracted from plant oil. It is a natural hydrocarbon with negligible sulfur content which will substantially help in reducing emissions from diesel – fed engines. According to the study conducted in Malaysia, the African Oil Palm has properties and potential for making biodiesel. Due to this discovery, African Palm Oil...
