Institute of Information Technology & Management, New Delhi

IT APPLICATION PROJECT: BBA SEMESTER V

Objective

1. Students of BBA Semester V are to carry out a project as part of curriculum. At the end
of the semester the students are to submit a written project report. The objective of this Circular
is to standardise the format of submission of the project report and to lay guidelines to conduct
the project including methodology. In this project work, students are required to develop an
application using the concepts of front and back-end and writing a Technical Report.

University Scheme

2. As per the syllabi of BBA (Paper code BBA-313), students of Semester V are to develop
an application and submit a project report comprising of 2 credits. The project report has two
components, viz.

(a) External : Project Viva (60 Marks), where viva on written report
would be undertaken by an external examiner.

(b) Internal : Conduct & Submission Project Report (40 Marks) It

involves development of application & submission of
report, presentations & viva at the Institute.

Scope of Project

3. It is partly the responsibility of the student to find a relevant topic for his/her project and
decide it in consultation with the guide allocated to him/her. The project work shall be an
application development using Visual Basic as front-end and MS Access as back-end. It shall be
an in-house development. A team of FOUR students is required to work jointly on a topic
assigned to them and submit the report jointly.

NOTE: ANY PREVIOUS WORK OR BORROWED REPORT WILL BE SUMMARILY

REJECTED AND IN ALL CASES OF REJECTION THE WORK IS TO BE REPEATED
AFRESH.

Methodology

4. Methodology and activities that are to be performed to conduct the project are
given in details in Appendix-A.
Format & Final Report

5. The Guidelines for the format to be used for compilation of the project report are given in
Appendix-B. All students are to adhere to these guidelines.

METHODOLOGY FOR THE PROJECT WORK

Chapter-1: Problem Definition

This chapter should include the following aspects:

System Objectives & Needs: Explain the objectives and the needs for developing information
system vis-à-vis the referenced organisation. For the purpose of this project the organisation
could be a virtual set up.

Data Collection: For developing information system data is required in respect of input, output,
storage and processing requirements. Data is also required in respect of entities involved in the
system & their connectivity/linkages and flow of data between the entities. The data can be
collected from the secondary source.

Note: In the ‘training environment’ your guide will invariably act as the user of system and
define the requirements of data.

Project Planning: Give the plan of distribution of work amongst the team members giving
name of task/activity, precedence/order (date-wise) in which these are performed and the name
of the team member who has performed that task/activity.

Chapter-2: System Analysis & Design

This phase of the project requires the complete study of the system before database design
(Access Tables) and Interface Design (VB forms) could be formalised. Following activities are
to be undertaken in this phase:

Description of Information System:

(a) Identify the Processes: This activity involves identifying processes included in the
information system under study. Meaningful names are to be assigned to each process. For
example in the Billing Information System shown in Figure-1 two processes are ‘Purchase
Order’ and ‘Bill’.

(b) Identify the ‘Input to’ & ‘Output of’ each process: For each process identified in step
(a), you need to identify Input & Output. Give meaningful names to each input and output.
Conceptually, each process shall have at least one input and one output. In the example of
Billing Information System the Input to Purchase Order Process is Purchase Orders of
customers and the Output of Bill Process is Invoice. For each Input and Output included in the
system, identify data elements connected with each input and output. Present the catalogue of
data elements in tabular form. An example is given in Table-1:

Input/Out Data Elements

put Name
Purchase Date, Item Code, Item Name, Quantity. Any
Order other Labels to be included.
Invoice Date, Item Code, Item Name, Quantity, Price of
each item, Total amount charged for each item,
Gross Amount, Discount, Tax, Net Amount
Payable. Any other Labels to be included, e.g.,
name of organisation, terms & conditions etc.

Table-1: List of Data Elements Included in Input & Output

(c) Overall Design of Proposed System: Describe the functioning of information system
under study in narrative form in details. Draw a functional ‘Block Diagram’ to show generic
input, output and connectivity/flows between various entities of the system. It must also include
external/outside entities that interact with the system to identify external source/sink of
data/information. As an example, a block diagram for Billing Information System of a
Departmental Store is shown in Figure-1:

Figure-1: Functional Diagram Billing Information System

At the end of this phase, each project team is required to present the designs of the following:

(i) Table (s) designs for back-end database - it is to be presented as per example
given in Table-2.
 FILE NAME: STOCK LIST LINKED TO PURCHASE ORDER PROCESS
Field Name Field Field Type Size (No of Description
Code Characters)
Item Code Item_Code Alphanumeric 10 Unique code of each item
Item Name Item_Code Alphabetic 20 Name of item
Quantity Qty Numeric 10 Quantity in stock

Table-2: Database Description

 (ii) Form (s) designs for front-end as shown in Table-3. Each project should have at
least one Login & one data entry form.

INPUT NAME: PURCHASE ORDER FORM (FOR PURCHASE ORDER

PROCESS)
Name of Label in Description/Purpose Validation Required
the Form
Date Date of Purchase Order In the format ddmmyyyy
Item Code Unique code of each item Alphanumeric (size 10)
Item Name Name of item Alphabetic (Size 20)
Quantity Quantity ordered Numeric (Size 10)

Table-3: Form Description

(iii) Report Format - each project should have at least one screen based and one
printable report.

Chapter-3: System Coding & Implementation

In this phase all practical implementation is to be carried out on selected back-end and front-end
and the designs presented in Chapter-2. Following activities are to be conducted in this phase:

(a) Create Database File (Attach relational/ER diagram of database).

(b) Create front-end Screens/interfaces (Attach snapshots of all front-end screens

along with full description).

(c) Connect back-end database & front-end screens (Explain the tools used for
database connectivity).

(d) Perform required validation checks (Explain implementation of all validations

checks performed).

(e) Implement complete system and create executable file (Submit the EXE file on a
CD).
