• Review business needs- Use strategic plan documents - Consult key users
- Develop list of expected business benefits
• Identify expected system capabilities (at a general level)• Define scope in terms of requirements
• Create system scope document (3 components: problem description, business benefits, system capabilities)
• Create context diagram for the organisation
Activity 1: Define the problem

• Each project consists of tasks, activities and phases.
• A phase is made up of a group of related activities• An activity is made up of a group of related tasks• A task is a smallest piece of work that is identified, named and scheduled
• The development of a project schedule involves three main steps:
1- Develop work breakdown schedule2- Build a PERT/Gantt chart3- Develop resource requirements and staffing plan
Activity 2: Project Schedule

• Risk management• Organizational and cultural feasibility• Technological feasibility• Schedule feasibility• Resource feasibility•Economic feasibility
- Cost/benefit analysis- Sources of funds (cash flow, long-term capital)
Activity 3: Project feasibility

3.1 Example of Risk Analysis
![Page 12: Project Planning Activities](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051420/5681601e550346895dcf1e7b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Cost/benefit analysis Estimate project development costs Estimate operational costs after project Estimate financial benefits based on annual savings and increased revenues Calculate using table of costs and benefits
• Uses net present value (NPV), payback period, return on investment (ROI) techniques
3.2 Economic Feasibility
![Page 13: Project Planning Activities](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051420/5681601e550346895dcf1e7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

3.2 Cost/Benefit Analysis Example

• Tangible benefits – can be measured or estimated in terms of money• Intangible benefit – can’t be directly measured or estimated in money• In some instance, the intangible benefits far exceed the tangible costs• Ex. Create kurdish learning video, 2002.
Examples of intangible benefits:• Increased levels of service (in ways that cannot be measured)• Increased customer satisfaction (not measurable)
Examples of intangible costs: • Reduced employee moral • Lost productivity (inestimable) • Lost customers or sales (during some period of time)
Tangible and Intangible Benefits

There are five tasks within this activity:• Develop a resource plan• Identify and request technical staff• Identify and request specific user staff• Organize the project team into work
groups• Conduct preliminary training and team-
building
Activity 4: Staffing the project

• Scope defined, risks identified, project is feasible, schedule developed, team members identified and ready
• Oversight committee (steering committee) finalized, meet to give go-ahead, and release funds
• Formal announcement made to all involved parties within organization
Activity 5: Launching the project
