    The document discusses the initial investigation phase of a project. It describes 6 steps: 1) understanding problems and opportunities, 2) determining scope and limitations, 3) information search, 4) feasibility analysis, 5) estimating time and costs, and 6) presenting a proposal. Feasibility analysis considers if the project is operationally feasible, technically feasible, and economically feasible. The proposal would include an introduction, system request summary, planning results, proposed actions, time/costs, estimated benefits, and appendices. The initial investigation helps management determine whether to accept or reject a proposed project.

    Initial Investigation Phase
    Ida Aryanie Bahrudin (DAT 20203)
    Initial Investigation Phase
    initial study on a certain project before making a
    decision on whether or not the project can be
    continued
    The outcome of the study can help the management
    to make a decision on whether to accept or to reject
    proposed project.
    The results:
    1. One report (covers the
    business consideration)
    2. Development cost &
    benefits
    3. Proposed actions
    Initial Investigation Phase
    Initial Investigation Phase
    STEP 1
    Understanding Organisations Problem & Opportunities
    STEP 2
    Determining Project Scope and Limitations
    STEP 3
    Doing Information Search
    STEP 4
    Determining Project Feasibility
    STEP 5
    Estimating Time & Cost to Proceed with Development
    STEP 6
    Presenting a Proposal to the Management
    Initial Investigation Phase
    STEP 1
    Understanding Organisations Problem & Opportunities
    1. Develop a business profile to explain its business process and
    functions
    2. Know how the change influences business operations and other
    information systems
    Undertake a study to
    understand the problem
    Identify the benefits of
    solving the problem with an
    acceptable cost
    A need to solve the problem
    Develop an appropriate
    solution
    Determine the best solution
    and proposed it
    Detail out the chosen
    solution
    Implement the selected
    solution
    Control to ensure the
    product being as estimated
    Initial Investigation Phase
    -To determine the project boundary as complete as possible by
    using:
    1. Graphical Model (illustrating the system)
    2. Individual involved
    3. Business process
    Use Case Diagram
    STEP 2
    Determining Project Scope and Limitations
    Initial Investigation Phase
    -Limitations and needs are conditions for the system to achieve in
    as per the stated specification or the estimated systems
    usefulness.
    Limitations
    can involve
    Hardware
    Software
    Time
    Policy
    Law
    Cost
    Example of limitations: order-system must receive input
    from 15 departments outside the location
    Initial Investigation Phase
    STEP 3
    Doing Information Search
    Consists of various techniques depending on the kind of
    information desired for investigating system request.
    Analyse an
    organisation
    chart
    Execute an
    interview
    Check existing
    documentation
    Check existing
    documentation
    Questionnaires
    for users
    Initial Investigation Phase
    STEP 4
    Determining Project Feasibility
    Operational
    Technical
    # Operational: tries to measure how far the
    solution proposed can be used in the
    organisation

    # Technical: evaluating the organisation
    resources to develop or to buy the system

    # Economic : tries to answer the questions
    on whether the system to be introduced
    can be developed within budgetary
    constraints and whether can improve
    economy
    Initial Investigation Phase
    Operational
    Whether the management
    & user support the project
    With the new system, will
    some of the workers
    retrenched
    Ehteher the schedule for
    development is reasonable
    Whether ethical issues
    need to be handled
    Technical
    Whether the organisation
    had enough resources for
    h/ware, s/ware & network
    Whether the proposed
    technology or solution is
    practical
    Whether we have the
    technology
    Whether we have the
    required technical skills
    Economic
    Determine the cost of the
    following items:

    1. People
    2. The hardware And tools
    3. The software that is
    built-in-house and those
    bought
    4. Formal and informal
    trainings
    5. Licenses and fees
    6. Consultation fees
    Facilitation cost
    Opportunity cost of not
    developing the system

    Whether the management
    & user support the project
    With new system, will
    some of the workers
    retrenched
    Whether the schedule
    for development is
    reasonable
    Whether ethical issues
    need to be handled
    Operational Economic

    trainings
    - Licenses and fees
    - Consultation fees
    - Facilitation cost
    - Opportunity cost of not

    STEP 5
    Estimating Time & Cost to Proceed with Development
    What information? How to get? How to analyze?
    What sources of information do you use? & What are the problem
    faced in getting info
    Do you need interviews? How many people? How long?
    Do you need questionnaires? Who will involved? How much time
    required to complete the questionnaires and to get the results?
    How much cost to analyse the information obtained, to provide the
    report and also proposal?
