PROJECT

1. Introduction.
PROJECT TITLE COMPANY LOGO
HIGHER EDUCATION CYCLE: NAME OF THE CYCLE
NAME AND LAST NAME

2. Business idea. Analysis of the environment and of the

competence.
2.1. Identification of sources and information collection:
a. Is it necessary or convenient? To determine the needs demanded by companies.
b. What does it contribute? Differentiating aspect.
c. Are there alternatives or is it something very concrete?
d. Could it end up being sold to more businesses?
e. Are there other companies offering or thinking of offering something similar? Classification of the
companies in the area. Typical structures of companies.

This point can be raised regarding the conduct of a statistical study within the scope of
the application of the project, such as how many SMEs there are, how many do not have online sales,
the network infrastructure....in Madrid, in the southern area, scope of Aranjuez....
What it brings to the sector, improvements, benefits, cost reduction, personal value, etc.
Explain the need of the customer or potential customers: eliminate inconsistencies, duplicities,
increase the number of clients, tackle new lines of business, improve competitiveness,
Specify the location of the company, the scope of action (small business, institutes) and what it is.
the localization of clients (Madrid capital, southern towns, peripheral neighborhoods....)
Indicate whether this business is sellable or not, if it is something isolated, and above all if there is in the productive sector.
companies that are already dedicated to this. In this case, we will have to indicate the diversification of what
We want to do it, since we cannot do the same as what already exists.

2.2. What needs do they intend to address? Prioritization of the needs to assess the possible
impact of the solution.

Explain at this point if the needs to be addressed are focused on:

a) Creation of a company to respond to the needs that have been identified.

The company/organization already exists and the project opens a new line of business/product.
The company/organization already exists and wants to diversify or extend to other sectors.

2.3. Identification of aspects that facilitate or hinder intervention.

At first glance, the issues that may affect the development of the project.

2.4. Tax, labor, and risk prevention obligations and their conditions of application.
Summarize the main tax, labor, and risk prevention obligations involved in the new
business.

1.5. Possible aid or subsidies that the project could benefit from.

Include the aid/grants that could be granted for the implementation of the project.

1.6. Preparation of a budget:

• Initial investment and financing plan.

• Hardware and software that need to be acquired.
• Costs derived from development.
• Personnel costs: mainly in € per hour of the employee.
• Assessment of the convenience of customer loyalty.
• Possible amortization of certain expenses over several projects.

The above points should be used as guidance when calculating the costs.

2.5. Preparation of a Software Requirements Specification (SRS).

In this phase, the project requirements will be established, distinguishing between functional and non-functional.
functional, in a brief manner and without losing sight of the project's objectives.
• Functional: those that determine what the project has to do.
For example: at a peak demand, serve 1000 customers at the same time, respond
satisfactory in less than 3 minutes per purchase.
• Non-functional: properties or qualities that the project must meet. For example: design
attractive, increase in profits, increase in reliability, improvement in response time...

It must also be clear the scope and limitations of the system.

Use of standards and code of good practices.

3. Project design.
3.1. Definition of the solution to be addressed. Type of project required to respond to the demand.
foreseen.

Also specify the type of project to be developed in the company:

• Software development
• Database implementation
• Software implementation

1.2. Specification of the phases or activities to be carried out and determination of a life cycle for the
project.

The development of this project will be carried out in four phases: analysis, design, implementation, and
tests.

The following details the activities/tasks/procedures for each of the phases of

previously established project.

a) Analysis Phase
• Study of the needs to be met
• Study of the current situation
 • Establishment of project requirements
• Comparative assessment of the possible solutions
• Identification of the needs involved in the new project in the company: To address
the problems posed by the project may require hiring staff, training them in
certain methodologies/tools, purchase equipment...
• Feasibility study of the chosen solution taking into account not only the benefits
economic.
• Correction of possible errors

b) Design phase
• Design environment preparation
• Architecture design
• Design of the interfaces
• Data design
• Design of the procedures
• Correction of possible errors
• Test case design

c) Implementation Phase
• Preparation of the implementation environment
• Development of the architecture
• Development of interfaces, data, and procedures
• Correction of possible errors

d) Testing phase
• Preparation of the testing environment
• Execution of tests and reporting of the errors found

1.3. Identification of critical activities.

Indicate if it is the case, in which activity, for example the installation of the WEB server software, we can
to have problems or it may cause a delay in the implementation of the project.

1.4. Risk management that may affect the project.

Perhaps security with regards to vulnerabilities, ports used in communications, firewalls and
security elements such as digital certificates or similar.

1.5. Project plan.

Create a project plan using a graphic tool, for example, MS Project or similar.

1.6. Technology, tools. (HW and SW) and human resources.

Assuming the viability of the project, these sections will detail the necessary phases.
to carry it out, and achieve the objectives that are set, taking into account the resources
necessary.

• In this phase, an approach to the technological design of the solution is made.

• It will describe how to fulfill each of the requirements established in the previous phase.
• Forecast of the necessary material and human resources
1.7. Project design.

integration.

Points d, e, and f will consist of only two or three examples or cases. These cases will be determined.
