FOR EXAMPLE: This project is aimed at developing a desktop based application

named Inventory Management System for managing the inventory system of any
organization. The Inventory Management System (IMS) refers to the system and
processes to manage the stock of organization with the involvement of Technology
system. This system can be used to store the details of the inventory, stock
maintenance, update the inventory based on the sales details, generate sales and
inventory report daily or weekly based. This project is categorize individual aspects
for the sales and inventory management system. In this system we are solving
different problem affecting to direct sales management and purchase management.
Inventory Management System is important to ensure quality control in businesses
that handle transactions resolving around consumer goods. Without proper inventory
control, a large retail store may run out of stock on an important item. A good
inventory management system will alert the wholesaler when it is time to record.
Inventory Management System is also on important means of automatically tracking
large shipment. An automated Inventory Management System helps to minimize the
errors while recording the stock.

1. Introduction

[A good introduction should tell the reader what the project is about without assuming
special knowledge and without introducing any specific material that might obscure
the overview. It should anticipate and combine main points described in more detail in
the rest of the project report. Also, importantly, it should enthuse the reader about the
project, to encourage them to read the whole report. Normally it should include such
things as:

FOR EXAMPLE: In this information technology revolution era, everybody is

talking about the latest technology and trying to use it as an opportunity. People have
seen an opportunity in usage of hashtag. Hashtag technology is being widely used by
enterprises as a marketing technique. Hashtag were initially proposed as tags to
manage and group related messages in social media. As time goes on, hashtag are
being use by enterprises to organize hashtag campaign or event for marketing
purpose. Hashtag management and analysis tool are one of the important tools for
these enterprises in order for them to keep track of the particular hashtag that they are
using.

The proposed system will provide functions that are need for ones to keep track
on hashtag. Data analysis, graph and report generation can be done after data is
collected. Public reaction and their satisfaction towards the event can be seen after
analysis is being done.

1.1 Problem Statement

[This section describes the problem that is to be addressed during the project work.

This is the rationale for what you will be doing and why it is important, why it
demands your attention. You might present this statement in terms of quantitative
metrics or qualitative criteria, or you may simply state the problem in the form of one
or more questions: "what if"? Since the problems can be theoretical or applied in
nature, the statement of the problem can vary according to these forms. So, it becomes
a matter of what is most appropriate, given the type of project work that is to be
conducted, the domain(s) in which the work is being done, and on the nature and
scope of the problem to be solved.

It is no use coming up with a problem such as "I want to solve the problems of
software maintenance". The Assessors here are looking for clear focus and a clearly
identified problem. Also, be sure to identify both the particular problem you are

2
solving and also the foundational issues you are addressing. The latter will consist of
the generic problem you are solving, and its solution will enable you to clarify the
contribution to your field. ]

FOR EXAMPLE: Social media provides a great platform and chances to

organization for public engagement and spreading event information in a fast pace
widely. Social media can be a good marketing platform to spread whether an idea,
thought or even commercial products by using hashtag. Advertisers see this as a big
opportunity to promote and market about their products, service and brands by using
the power of social networking. Social media and hashtag became a good place for
real time identification of what is trending now. Besides being a great marketing
channel, with the amount of user that is continuously increasing; social media became
a place for enterprises to collect information and to listen to the public. In order to
achieve this, enterprises are making use of social media platforms and hashtag as
promotional and marketing tools. As events go on, the public will often try to get,
share and spread the information to others. In a real time event, a certain hashtag will
probably be used in the tweets, picture’s captions, statuses and etc. Collecting all
these data is extremely important to organizers and enterprises in order to know what
the public think, collecting feedback on events and use these data as insight for further
planning of upcoming events. Due to large amount of user generated content about
the event such as tweets, pictures and etc.; collection of data by using traditional
methods are difficult and it requires large amount of time to review all the content.
Since data are so important to the enterprises, definitely the enterprises would like to
capture all the data but in the other hand collecting all these data requires a lot of time.
This is the time where social media monitoring tool comes in place. By using these
tools, enterprises will be able to collect all the user-generated content easily resulting
in higher demand of social media monitor and analytical tool.

Re-state the problem clearly and precisely and say what your project intends to
do or what you plan to do with the problem. In other words, what is the purpose of
your study?

1.2 Significance

[Why is your project important? How is it different from other projects on related
topic? What new will it contribute to already existing solutions? What are its policy
implications?]

1.3 Objectives

[In this section, the current state of the art specific to this project and the motivation
and need for this work. Try and differentiate between your goals and your objectives -
and include both. Objectives are operational, describe specific things you will be
accomplishing in your project, and are very measurable. Your objectives will form the
basis for the activities of your project and will also serve as the basis for the
evaluation of your project. Measurable objectives for your project should be
presented. If you are dealing with "things" it is easier for them to be measured than if
you are dealing with abstract ideas. Your proposal is easier for prospective
stakeholders if you describe your objectives in measurable ways.]

FOR EXAMPLE: The aim of the project is to create the propose system that to allow
event organizers to keep track and analyze on hashtag campaigns; allow user to
capture and monitor public responses and to further make use of captured data.

The objectives are:

 To develop a desktop application that would allow user to search for a

particular hashtag from social media.
 To enable real time update which allow user to keep track on the ongoing or
past event or campaign with hashtag.
 To collect responses on social media with the hashtag use
 To use an appropriate analysis method (sentiment analysis) to generate graph
and reports based on public satisfaction.
 To make use of data gather to enhance the event attraction, i.e. random picking
for lucky draw, printing of pictures collected.

1.6 System Architecture

[Defines the overall application architecture e.g. a two-tier architecture or a three-tier

architecture. It must contain a diagram depicting the system architecture properly
Architecture is the highest-level concept of a system in its environment. The
architecture of a software system (at a given point in time) is its organization or
structure of significant components interacting through interfaces, those components
being composed of successively smaller components and interfaces.

6
 Architecture can also be defined as the organizational structure of a system.
Architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that interact through interfaces,
relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that
interact through interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.]

FOR EXAMPLE:

Figures should not be inserted directly in

documents, rather create a 1x1 table, insert
figure in that table and set centralized indent.
This should be done for all figures throughout the
document.
Relevant Table should have Preferred Width: 6
and hide Border.
Apply “CaptionFig” style on each caption of
figure.
Remove “space above/below paragraph “ for
each caption, if any.

Figure 1.1: Model-View-Controller

1.7 Software/Hardware Requirements

[Any hardware or software specifications e.g. machine type required, operating

system and other utilities should be clearly specified for the system to be developed.]

1.8 Implementation Tools and Technology

[The application tools, which are to be used on front and back end of the system to be
developed, should be listed. The reasons for these tools should also be enlisted.

7
 Identify what the needs for tool support are, and what the constraints are, by
looking at the following:

 The development process. What tool support is required to effectively work?

For example, if the organization decide to employ an iterative development
process, it is necessary to automate the tests, since you will be testing several
times during the project.
 Host (or development) platform(s).
 Target platform(s).
 The programming language(s) to be used.
 Existing tools. Evaluate any existing and proven tools and decide whether they
can continue to be used.
 The distribution of the development organization. Is the organization
physically distributed? Development tools generally support a physically
distributed organization differently.
 The size of the development effort. Tools support large organizations more or
less well.
 Budget and time constraints]

1.9 Implementation Plan

1.9.1 Deliverable Items

[List and describe each of the items you will submit in fulfillment of the project
requirements. Deliverable items include, but are not limited to, program executable
file(s), program data file(s), program listings, program documentation, user manual
and CD.]

FOR EXAMPLE:

 Project Proposal
 Software Requirement Specification (SRS)
 Project Presentation and Final Documentation
 Executable Files
 CD
8
  User manual

1.9.2 Milestone Chart

[Identify each of the milestones or check points that mark the completion of some
phase of project implementation. Milestones include, but are not limited to, detailed
system analysis, system design, file design, module design, system test design,
module coding, and documentation.

The Gantt chart enumerates the activities to be performed on the vertical axis
and their corresponding duration on the horizontal axis. It is possible to schedule
activities by either early start or late start logic. In the early start approach; each
activity is initiated as early as possible without violating the precedence relations. In
the late start approach; each activity is delayed as much as possible as long as the
earliest finish time of the project is not compromised.

Based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), a timeline or Gantt chart

showing the allocation of time to the project phases or iterations should be developed.
This Gantt chart would identify major milestones with their achievement criteria. It
must contain duration estimation of all the necessary activities to be carried out during
the project development along with the human resources responsible for the
respective tasks. Activity dependencies are also required to be mentioned in it.]

FOR EXAMPLE (Gantt chart):

1.10 Functional Requirements

[This is a detailed specification of functions performed by the proposed system, from

an external or user perspective, not from an internal or programmer viewpoint. Thus,
the system is regarded as a black box with various inputs and outputs related by the
functions performed by the system. The description should be sufficient for another
programmer to implement the system.]

FOR EXAMPLE:

For Customers

 Facility of Login:
o Customers have to be logged in by their username and password.
 Facility of search:
o We provided the search facility whether manual or auto to the
customers.

For Employees

 Facility of search:
o Employees can search the portal to be the part of that portal.
 Posting facility:
o Provides the facility of post about the services given by the employee
himself.

For Admin

 Facility of Login:
o Admin has to be logged in by their username and password.
 Manages the portal:
o Admin is the authorized person that manages the whole portal i.e.
registration of workers, confirmation of the registration, addition of
workers, deletion of workers, any updating in information, and can
check the rating of performance of the workers.

10
1.11 Non Functional Requirement

[This nonfunctional requirements includes the following

 Usability
 Reliability
 Performance
 Design Constraints
 Portability
 Maintainability
 License Agreement]

FOR EXAMPLE:

All non-functional requirements of proposed system are as followed:

 Application availability will be 24/7 in a year. It means user can use this
platform at any time anywhere.
 Application security is good. User data is secure and can be seen by only that
user.
 Interactive Design/Usability is good. It is easy to use this application.
 Performance/Efficiency of this application is good. It do not take long time to
open and do not hang on any browser.
 This application secures data of each user and do not involve third party to use
his all user data. It means privacy of this application is good.
