Software Development Project

The content of this project is to create and develop a software which will be called DEDS: The Dog E-Daycare System (DEDS) will accept information from clients and potential clients that supports presenting dog services, scheduling appointments, and collecting relevant dog information.

In short, DEDS is a brokering system for dog owners to obtain services such as dog-sitting, kennelling, walking, and various appointments (e.g., veterinarian, breeding, grooming).

DEDS will interact with clients (people) through a web interface both for data entry and business transactions. There must be a database maintained on a web connected personal computer for dog information and client information to be entered, updated, and removed.

The DEDS will accept dog information, accept inquiries for service, schedule service, provide interface for specific care instructions, and track services rendered. The system will interface with people via the workstation and via the web.

While some of the functionality of the system may be purchased from third party vendors, it is presumed that the software for the project will primarily be developed in-house (in other words, code will have to be written).

It is also presumed that any hardware or software (e.g. database management system) needed for this new system must be purchased.

It is required to complete the Goals and Objectives section of their project plan (pdf. file attached). It is expected that your completed document will be between 3 and 4 pages in length.

This deliverable should be in the following format. This is a textual discussion. No WBS should be created at this point. At the top of the first page of your project plan should be a revision history table. Please note that this outline should be followed faithfully, including the numbering hierarchy.
