    This document provides guidelines for students completing an internal assessment project on information technology for a CAPE Unit 1 course. It outlines the required sections of the report, including a cover page, problem definition, Gantt chart, analysis of the problem, identification of possible solutions, evaluation of solutions, selection of a solution, and justification of the solution. The problem definition section must address where the problem occurs, who is affected, and the nature and background of the problem. The Gantt chart must include all stages of the problem-solving process with accurate labels and a realistic timeline. In analyzing the problem, at least three fact-finding methods must be used and data must be appropriately presented. Students are to identify at least two IT

    The cover page should include the following:

     Title

     An appropriate graphic

     Name of candidate

     Candidate number

     Territory

     School name

     Center number

     Year of exam

    PROBLEM DEFINITION

    When writing the Problem Definition, you are to ensure that the following areas are addressed:

    1. Where the problem is occurring


    2. Who is being affected
    3. The nature/background (of the problem) that shows the context in which the problem
    exists (the effects or how persons are being affected should be mentioned here)

    Nb. Ensure that what is mentioned as being an effect can be solved by using an IT based
    solution, otherwise leave it out….keep solutions within context.
    Look for the nature of the problem in terms of areas such as:

    - Performance
    - Efficiency
    - Security

    *Pay attention to the scope (narrow it down)

     Do not state the causes of the problem in this section, state instead the effects the problem
    have on the organization’s stakeholders.
     Do not include solutions in this section of the report.

    GHANT CHART

    1. Must include all the stages of the problem solving process.


    2. Ensure the charts are accurate and labelled
    3. Ensure the time frame is realistic

    *best to use a software to generate one

    ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM

    1. Pay careful attention to fact finding methods


    2. Use at least 3 methods
    - Interview, questionnaire, observation, document review (see Kendall &Kendall)
    3. Use spreadsheet features to help with the analysis…(to create graphs and charts)
    4. Students should only include graphs where appropriate
    5. Students should avoid recommending solutions at this phase of the SBA.

    *describe methods of data collection, presentation of data (charts and graphs) and interpretation
    of data.
    IDENTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

    1. At least TWO IT based solutions


    2. Show how tools can be used to solve the problem. Explain how.
    - Look at areas such as processing methods (state what methods and how data will
    be processed using this method)
    - Network technologies (can use diagrams and explain what network will be set up)
    - Automation
    - Software (eg. Custom, commercial, productivity tools)

    The features to be considered are:


     Procedures

     Personnel and end users

     Network technology (if any)

     Software alternatives

     Hardware alternatives

    EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

    Ensure that each possible solution is evaluated based on operational, economical and technical
    aspects.

    These areas will include:

     Software tools
     Hardware tools
     Networking for communication
     Time frame
     reliability
     Legal issues
     Environmental issues
     Training
     Total cost

    Students are expected to evaluate all identified solutions. All the necessary elements as they
    relate to their implications on the economic, social, political, technical, operational and schedule
    feasibility for the organization or individual should be examined. Students should elaborate on
    the elements and the weights assigned to each, and the reason for that assignment.

    SELECTION OF SOLUTION

    1. Choose the most feasible solution


    2. Base choice on objective evaluation
    3. Give evidence to support your choice
    4. Look at resources required to implement solution

    JUSTIFICATION OF SOLUTION

    1. Analyze the issues in relation to the implementation of the solution (eg. Privacy, security,
    etc)
    2. Look at strategies for dealing with the issues in the system
    3. Give appropriate justification for all strategies
    4. Use SWOT analysis

    GOOD LUCK !!!
