SESSION 1
What is Project ?
 Project is defined as a collaborative enterprise, involving research or
design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim. (Wiki)
 A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique
product, service, or result.
 The temporary nature of projects indicates that a project has a definite
beginning and end.
 The end is reached when the project’s objectives have been achieved or
when the project is terminated because its objectives will not or cannot be
met, or when the need for the project no longer exists.
 A project may also be terminated if the client (customer, sponsor,
or champion) wishes to terminate the project.
 Temporary does not necessarily mean the duration of the project is
short. It refers to the project’s engagement and its longevity.
 Temporary does not typically apply to the product, service, or result
created by the project; most projects are undertaken to create a lasting
outcome.

SESSION 1
Is there any pre-request need for Project Development?
 YES
 Problem Solving
 Creative Thinking
 Front End
 Back End
What is the Purpose of Project Development?
 To Justify the skills of the student.
 To assess the creative thinking
 To assess the logical thinking
 To certify themselves as experienced in specific domain

SESSION 1
How to develop a Project?

SESSION 1
How to develop a Project? (Information System)
The construction of a new information system follows five
stages, each of these stages are linked and form the development
process of the new system. The stages:
•understanding the problem
•planning
•designing
•implementing
•testing, evaluating and maintaining.
Whilst the "design as you go" approach may work on small or
very simple projects, it can be a disaster for more complicated
projects. In order to overcome this problem a methodical and
structured process is needed. These five stages of planning
designing and implementation of a new system are set out below.

SESSION 1
STAGE PROCESSES
Understanding the problem The first stage of the process, understanding the
purpose and identifying changes that may be
made to an existing system. Identify and
communicate with participants in the current
system. Suggest the use of a requirements
prototype to clarify participants understanding.
Planning The second stage involves the conducting of
feasibility studies (economic, technical and
operational). The nature of the problem is clearly
described in a report and recommendations are
made to management as to whether the proposed
solution is practicable. A project plan is developed.
Designing This third stage involves the documentation of the
development of a solution to the new system. A
prototype may be used to help clarify the solution
to the participant. System design tools can also be
used to explain the solution, for example; context
diagrams, data flow diagrams, decision trees,
decision tables, data dictionaries, storyboards.

SESSION 1
STAGE PROCESSES
Implementing •This stage involves the acquistion of information
technology and making it operational. Additionally,
decisions are made on how the new system will
be implemented. An implementation plan is
developed setting out clearly:support for the
participants of the new system through training,
•methods of testing the new system,
•how data will be converted for the new system,
•the process for conversion from the old system to
the newly designed system, and
•steps in an operation manual/s.
Testing, evaluating and
maintaining
This stage is the most important; users begin to
use the new system and the performance of
which is tested against the design specifications.
The maintenance of the new system is important
through the training of participants and the
reviewing of the operation manual/s. Modifications
may be made to parts of the system if problems
are identified.

SESSION 1
 What is Front End & Back End?
 In software engineering, the terms "front end" and "back
end" are distinctions which refer to the separation of
concerns between a presentation layer and a data access
layer respectively.
 The front end is an interface between the user and the
back end. The front and back ends may be distributed
amongst one or more systems.

SESSION 1
Project Development – A demonstration
Project work in the UG/PG is intended to give students an
opportunity to plan, design and implement an information
system that has a purpose.
The chosen information system should be:
 a database information system
 a communication system
 a transaction processing system
 a decision support system
 an automated manufacturing system
 a multimedia system
Any topic of your wish?
Any Queries?

SESSION 2
 Basics of Visual Basic
 Live sessions
 DataBase
 Live Sessions with MS-Access & Internal Access (Self
Backend).

SESSION 3
 Data Base Connectivity – Live Sessions
 Data Reports – Live Sessions
 Completing the Project – Live Sessions
