Problem Background
• Explain about the problem of your proposed systems
• Example
• Hospital Information Systems– Explain how the hospital handle the current
systems to register patients.– What is the process involve– Any weaknesses etc
3
Chapter 1
• Problem Statements
• What is the Focus of a Problem Statement?– Some Need or Needs must be addressed.
– Some Problem must be tackled.
4
Building the Problem Statement
• Sketch the problem that you feel exists.- Who else says it’s a problem?- Any statistics/commentary that highlight the
problem?- What other efforts have been made to work on the
problem?- Create a general question you would like your study
(when finished) to answer.

What is a problem statements?
• A problem statement is a clear concise description of the issues that need to be addressed by a problem solving team and should be presented to them (or created by them) before they try to solve the problem.
• When bringing together a team to achieve a particular purpose efficiently provide them with a problem statement.
6
A good problem statement should answer these questions:
• What is the problem? This should explain why the team is needed.
• Who has the problem or who is the client/customer? This should explain who needs the solution and who will decide the problem has been solved.
• What form can the resolution be? What is the scope and limitations (in time, money, resources, technologies) that can be used to solve the problem?
7
Primary Purpose of Problem Statements
• The primary purpose of a problem statement is to focus the attention of the problem solving .
• However, if the focus of the problem is too narrow or the scope of the solution too limited the creativity and innovation of the solution can be stifling.
8
The need of evidence
• When drafting a Problem Statement, authors should show some degree of evidence that what they claimed is true.
• Eg. The current Hospital Inventory Systems is bad.
9
Project Constraints
• The primary impact of project constraints is the likelihood of delaying the completion of the project.
• There are three types of project constraints:
1. technological,
2. resource and
3. physical.
10
Project Stakeholders
• Project stakeholders are those entities within or without an organization which:
• a) Sponsor a project or,• b) Have an interest or a gain upon a successful
completion of a project.• Examples of project stakeholders include the customer,
the user group, the project manager, the development team, the testers, etc.
• Stakeholders are anyone who has an interest in the project. Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a result of project execution or project completion.
11
The following are examples of project stakeholders:
• Project leader • Project team members • Upper management • Project customer • Resource Managers • Line Managers • Product user group • Project testers
