 DETAIL OF CHAPTERS

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Summary - Key to a good summary is the FIRST sentence, which MUST
contain the most essential information that you wish to convey.
1.2 Purpose: Goals & Objectives
1.3 Scope (Scope - what it can do and can’t do)

Note: Discuss the risks associated with your project or system only.
2.3 Estimation
2.3.1 Effort Estimation
2.3.2 Cost Analysis (Total cost of the project including resources and labors.
Labor cost should be broken down into the areas of design, analysis, prototype
construction, software development, hardware and software integration, testing,
design modifications and documentation. A cost analysis is NOT a tabulation of
your expenditure)

the questions like Does the system contribute to the overall objectives of the organization?
Can the system be implemented using the current technology and within the given cost
and schedule constraints? Can the system be integrated with other systems which are
already in place? etc ;)
