Assignment 2
Final Project Paper Proposal
The purpose of the final project is to communicate the analyst’s findings upon completion of a detailed analysis of the current system. It also is intended to communicate the proposed approach to be used in continuing the project into the next phase. You may select an existing company and identify improvements to a system or you can use your own company. The company must be approved by the instructor.
The proposal will actually consist of the purpose, history, and scope located in the final project template (be sure you can see the blue hidden text in the template which has additional instructions to guide you).
Purpose: Include the name of the system and the purpose of your evaluation.
History: 1-3 paragraph description of the history of the company and the events that led you to choose that company.
Scope: 1-2 paragraph description of the scope of the system that you will study in detail.
Use the Final Project Template. Then “copy and paste” just these three sections into a Word document. Include the title page, “Proposal,” and reference page.
