Extracts from University Regulations on Cheating, Plagiarism and Collusion

Section 2.3: "The following broad types of offence can be identified and are provided as indicative examples…
(i) Cheating: including taking unauthorised material into an examination; consulting unauthorised
material outside the examination hall during the examination; obtaining an unseen examination
paper in advance of the examination; copying from another examinee; using an unauthorised
calculator during the examination or storing unauthorised material in the memory of a programmable
calculator which is taken into the examination; copying coursework.
(ii) Falsifying data in experimental results.
(iii) Personation, where a substitute takes an examination or test on behalf of the candidate. Both
candidate and substitute may be guilty of an offence under these Regulations.
(iv) Bribery or attempted bribery of a person thought to have some influence on the candidate's
assessment.
(v) Collusion to present joint work as the work solely of one individual.
(vi) Plagiarism, where the work or ideas of another are presented as the candidate's own.
(vii) Other conduct calculated to secure an advantage on assessment.
(viii) Assisting in any of the above.
Some notes on what this means for students:

1. Copying another student's work is an offence, whether from a copy on paper or from a computer
file, and in whatever form the intellectual property being copied takes, including text, mathematical
notation and computer programs.
2. Taking extracts from published sources without attribution is an offence. To quote ideas,
sometimes using extracts, is generally to be encouraged. Quoting ideas is achieved by stating an
author's argument and attributing it, perhaps by quoting, immediately in the text, his or her name
2
and year of publication, e.g. "e = mc (Einstein 1905)". A references section at the end of your
work should then list all such references in alphabetical order of authors' surnames. (There are
variations on this referencing system which your tutors may prefer you to use.) If you wish to
quote a paragraph or so from published work then indent the quotation on both left and right
margins, using an italic font where practicable, and introduce the quotation with an attribution.

Abstract
Farm Fresh aims to make a profit by operating poultry farms in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the poultry
business has decided to initiate a standalone software to regulate and monitor the feeding
activities of the business by using the technology. It is a desktop-based application which helps
to Manage the stocks available in the farm, cage management, food feeding management, egg
sale management and to create reports. Poultry Management System has secured access to
admin. The admin shall be able to keep track of different users and Supervisors. It's a clever
desktop application that can help farm owners keep track of food management that happens on
the farm. For example, the document includes descriptions of the above-mentioned program,
such as the introduction. The report described the diagrams that were used with explanations to
design the system and execute the system with different user interfaces, in the software
dimension, uses C Sharp and SQL in the context database

1 Chapter 1 Introduction.
(Anon., 2020)Poultry industry has contributed 0.38 to the GDP. 0.38 GDP is more than 50% of
the total contribution of iSri Lanka's livestock, (Anon., 2020)
Information technology has been evolving for a long time and incorporating it into organization
and operations has become a part of the world's everyday routine. Everything in our modern
environment is becoming more digital. This is where all the paper works end up. Industries have
also converted to a more efficient system. During the previous decade, the chicken industry has
been the most dynamic within the global meat industry. In Sri Lanka, the poultry business is the
fastest expanding livestock industry. With the greatest growth reflected in the food global
demand increase. It is expected that, in the next years the meat industry will increase production
driven by global population growth. Chickens are the most common sources of poultry meat.
The world's population is growing, and with it comes a higher demand for high-quality protein in
the form of eggs and poultry meat. As a result, the pressures impose on poultry farms and chain
integrations are increasing. Professional, animal-friendly, safer, and more sustainable production
is required but, Poultry business owners are having a difficult time developing their products and
keeping track of their records. Feed stuffing is a crucial aspect of commercial chicken
production, not only because it is the most expensive element of the process, but also because it
is the source of the hens' growth response. Feed costs are the key determinants of commercial
poultry farm profitability, and good nutrition is largely responsible for current poultry species'
exceptional growth rate responses. In addition, the cost of labor and food wastage are major
issues in the industry. To meet this problem, the sector needs to implement a well-organized
structure.
The poultry management system will aid the industry to overcome these problems. With the help
of this system the industry can develop their products and, they can gain all the aspects within the
business. This technique aids them in obtaining these benefits. It helps to decrease labor costs,
food waste, and time, and the benefits of using processed feed have been widely documented.
Despite the fact that they have a high manufacturing cost in natural conditions.
10
1.1 Goals.
Every day, the system should calculate how much feed is required based on the day count of
chicks and the total number of chicks for that specific cage; if a chick dies, the number of chicks
for that specific cage will be updated, and the system should calculate the quantity of chicks
based on the number of dead chicks information provided to the system; and the required feed
weight for any specific day for a chick will be predefined and customizable. And also, the system
helps to take reports on egg sale of the farm. The system has been developed user friendly and
the design emphasizes ease of use and a clear overview, and the system will easily integrate with
your organization's procedures.
1.2 Motivation.
The world's population is growing, and with it comes a higher demand for high-quality protein in
the form of eggs and poultry meat. As a result, the pressures impose on poultry farms and chain
integrations are increasing. And Poultry business owners are having a difficult time developing
their products and keeping track of their records. To keep all relevant data within a poultry farm
accurate and to avoid frustration and keep the farm process moving forward as quickly as
possible the business required a suitable system. Feed stuffing is a crucial aspect of commercial
chicken production so the system will aid in the accurate calculation of feeding amounts without
the use of human error, as well as the maintenance of poultry records.

1.3 Method
Upon careful analysis, it was decided to take up a project with a poultry farming company that
required automation and was seeking to simplify their daily activities.
During the many discussions, I had with the management of the company, many proposals were
placed for development of commonly available systems such as payroll, E-Commerce, and
Accounting. However, the Supervisor of the farm indicated a pain point in their daily operations.
This point of concern being the calculation of the type of feed to be administered to the birds on
a daily basis and the quantities involved. I took this as an issue that require a solution. Hence, I
took up this project.
The name of the company is Farm Fresh, located in Kandy. They have a large poultry farm that
rears broiler chicken. I visited the farm to gather information about the operations. The
Supervisor of this farm has been faced with an issue of the quantity of feed to be fed to the birds
daily and the types of feed to be used during the life cycle of each bird.
A Broiler chicken farm needs to calculate total weight of chick feed required for the total number
of chicks in a cage every day. A Broiler Chicken's life span is around 42 days. The farm has many
cages and per cage the maximum 1000 or less quantities of chicks can be occupied.
There are 3 types of feed available.
1. Booster (1 - 12 Days)
2. Starter (13 - 25 Days)
3. Finisher (25 - Rest of the Days)
It was clearly evident that the supervisor of the farm had little technical knowledge in rearing
broilers. Most of the feeding activity was based on guesswork and was unscientific in nature.
Upon developing of the system, I realized that the amount of resources wasted could be
minimized and the cost of production could be brought down to the optimal level. And also the
company wants to keep the egg sale records.
This software was developed to solve all of the above issues and some additional features such as
the marketing of eggs and other byproducts were added.

1.4 Overview
As per the Client's Requirement I selected Windows forms app using C#. Entity Framework Code
first approach has been used to create the SQL database. LINQ is used to retrieve data and filter
data from SQL Database.
Benefits Of C Sharp - C# is one of the world's most popular programming languages. It's simple
to learn and can be used to create a wide range of software, including web applications, Windows
programs, and console and PC video games.
• Object-Oriented Language
• Automatic Garbage Collection
• Cross Platform
• Backward Compatible
• Better Integrity and Interoperability.
• More Legible Coding
Benefits of SQL - SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language

for managing relational databases and performing operations on the data contained within them.
(Sirkin, n.d.)
• No Need to Code.
• High Speed
• The user can rapidly and efficiently obtain a huge number of records from a database by
using SQL queries.
• Users can create several views of the database structure using the SQL language.
• Interactive language
• Multiple data views - SQL can provide distinct views of the database's structure and
content to different database users.
• Client/Server language: SQL is a programming language that connects front-end
computers (clients) to back-end databases (servers). As a result, the client-server
architecture is supported.
• Internet usage: In a three-tiered Internet architecture, SQL can be employed. A client,
application server, and database are all part of the architecture.
13
Benefits of Entity Framework - Entity Framework is an open-source ORM framework for.NET
applications. (Anon., n.d.)
• EF Allows to use LINQ Queries to get data from the database
• Keeps track of changes to your entities' instances (property values) that need to be
reported to the database.
• To establish or manage underlying database schema, EF provides a series of migration
commands that can be run from the NuGet Package Manager Console or the Command
Line Interface.
• Entity Framework facilitates in the reduction of development time and expense.
• It facilitates the execution of CRUD tasks in a timely manner.
• It generates code for developers and helps them to construct database models and
mappings visually.
Benefits of LINQ - A query is a statement that retrieves information from a database. In most
cases, queries are written in a specialized query language. For different types of data sources,
other languages have been developed over time, such as SQL for relational databases and
XQuery for XML. As a result, each type of data source or data format that developers must
handle necessitates learning a new query language. LINQ makes this scenario easier by
providing a consistent model for working with data from a variety of sources and formats.
(Anon., 09/15/2021)
• LINQ provides a uniform query syntax for all types of data sources.
• Second, it bridges the relational and object-oriented paradigms.
• LINQ saves time by catching mistakes at compile time and offers IntelliSense and
Debugging features.
• Strongly Typed expressions are LINQ expressions.
• LINQ saves time during development by catching errors at compile time and providing
IntelliSense and Debugging support.

2 Chapter 2 Background and Problem Statement
To follow the progress, the client is now manually calculating everything and filling out a lot of
documentation. When a customer calculates these things manually, it can waste time and increase
labor costs. Chickens' health can be harmed by human errors too. They will need a well-organized
system to solve these issues. This system will take the place of the manual method, as it is predicted
to be more efficient, useful, and cost-effective in completing the tasks desired by the farm manager.
Based on the current situation, this is a unique situation for which there are no ready-made software
solutions. As a rapidly growing industry, production will continue to rise day by day. When a
company grows, so does the demand for chicken, and the client grows with it. And do not intend
to devote further human resources to this endeavor.
To make their business a success The industry requires a well-organized system. In this Poultry
Management System project, the client must track how much food they are expected to give each
cage and, ideally, reduce costs while maintaining a healthy poultry management system. It should
provide an interface for entering the number of deceased chicks counted and time intervals, as well
as a detailed track report for each cage. Depending on the nature of the poultry sector, this software
could be enhanced in the future.

2.1 Introduction
We want all our software releases to get to production in a seamless, defect-free manner, with
everyone being aware of the results and status.
documentation. When a customer calculates these things manually, it can waste time and
increase labor costs. Chickens' health can be harmed by human errors too. They will need a well-

2.2 Literature Review
Due to its efficiency and precision, computerization of systems has become popular all around
the world. However, the following challenges are similar to Poultry management systems in
different Softwares:

When examining these projects, it becomes clear that they have some similarities, such Stock
maintenance, and that they are all based on Web. Even so, there are more differences than
similarities. Each project has its own traits and characteristics that might aid the developer in
forming an idea for a new concept and putting it into practice.

2.3 Problem Statement
Many businesses start small, keeping track of their finances in a series of linked Excel
spreadsheets. This is an excellent starting step toward making your company more structured and
productive. However, as the company develops and evolves, the company will eventually reach
the limits of these platforms.
• Human Errors.
Are you certain that the formulas you have in place are appropriately carried forward
when you insert rows/columns/tabs? Is everyone on board with the procedure, and are
they all following it the same way every time?
When people enter Data, it’s not sure that the formulas they had in place are being
properly carried forward? Cannot assure that everyone on board with the procedure and
are they all following it the same way every time. In many circumstances, they aren't
without even realizing it or intending to, and as a result, calculations may be incorrect,
leading to inaccurate reporting and choices.
• User Friendly.
The Farm supervisor is currently using an excel sheet for these feed management. Mostly
the excel or paperwork are too inconvenient, especially when changing data that has
already been entered.
• Less Secure System.
Microsoft Excel is the most widely used spreadsheet program on the planet. (Anon.,
2021) But when it comes to a software like Poultry feed management system the data
base can be simply copied by another stranger and misuse it.
• Lack of Knowledge.
When use has lack of knowledge, or even when related knowledge is not realized,
software faults may occur. This error mode is more likely to emerge when the problem is
multidisciplinary in nature.

3 Chapter 3 project management
Project management is defined as the process of planning and justifying a project's development
lifecycle using a Gantt chart to plan resource allocation, cost, and budget. It also the process of
organizing a team's initiatives to reach all project objectives while maintaining within financial
constraints. Usually, this analysis is represented in project documentation, which is prepared at
the start of the development process. Scope, time, and budget are the three main restraints. The
second challenge is to optimize the allocation of required resources and apply them to achieve
specified objectives.
3.1 Approach
The information gathered through interviews, most of the client meeting through online as because
of pandemic situation and also from the surveys. With the help of the information, the requirements
were gathered by presenting the client with a prototype frontend design utilizing requirements
gathering approaches, and once they were finalized, the Interim Report was developed and
presented during the interim viva. The functional and non-functional requirements were all listed
in the interim report. Once these requirements were obtained got the Feedback and extra
requirements have been received repeatedly with each prototype provided to the client and have
been used to improve the prototypes until they meet the business requirements. Prototypes have
been constructed without database to save time.
21
3.2 Initial Project Plan
Initially the project has been planned to develop the software with PHP Laravel. But after some
time, the client made a request that they need a Standalone Software not web based. So, on the
request behalf of the customer the plan was totally changed and started to work with C#.
Figure 3-1 Initial Gantt chart
3.3 Problems and Changes to the Plan
As mentioned in the initial Project Plan, Initially the project has been planned to develop the
software with PHP Laravel. But after some time, the client has made a request that they need a
Standalone Software not web based Because they have financial issues because of the COVID-19
Pandemic Situation and other issues with Hosting like the business located area has poor internet
connectivity. So, on the request behalf of the customer the plan was totally changed and started to
work with C#.
22
3.4 Final Project Record
The project was supposed to begin in April 2021 and can last for four months. However the
activities were constrained and delayed because to the country's pandemic situation. Client
meetings were not held on a regular basis and also, the client's assistance was not received in a
timely manner. The client has requested a Standalone Software rather than a web-based solution
because they are experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and
other hosting challenges, such as poor internet access in the business's location. As a result of the
customer's request, the plan was completely overhauled, and C# was implemented. All because of
those reasons the project could not implemented in scheduled period. Apart from the time
constraints, the entire backend was totally coded and effectively implemented on time, allowing
the project to concentrate on other aspects. The project, which was supposed to be finished in four
months, ended up taking up to six months.

4 Chapter 4 feasibility study
The feasibility study's major goal is to look at the technical, operational, logical, and financial
viability of developing a computerized system. A feasibility analysis, as the name implies, is
used to establish the viability of a project, such as ensuring that a project is legally, technically,
and economically feasible. It tells us whether a project is worthwhile—in some situations, a
project may be impossible to complete. There are a variety of reasons for this, including the need
for too many resources, which not only stops those resources from performing other duties, but
also may cost more than the company would earn back by taking on a project that isn't
economical.
4.1 Time feasibility
This analysis is crucial for successful; after all, if a project is not completed on time, it will fail.
An organization predicts the amount of time it will take to execute a project when scheduling
time feasibility.
Phase count Time for each phase
Phase 1 1 Week
Phase 2 8 Weeks
Phase 3 6 Weeks
Phase 4 2 Weeks
Phase 5 2 Weeks
Phase 6 3 Weeks
Total Number of Weeks 22 Weeks
Table 1 - Development Phases
24
4.2 Cost feasibility
Estimating project costs to an appropriate level of accuracy is part of cost feasibility. The cost
estimate includes both the initial and maintenance expenses. The initial cost was about Rs.
20,000 so it is cost feasible to continue this project.
4.3 Scope feasibility
The scope feasibility expresses the limitations of a system. It contains requirements analysis,
process work, engineering and design, cost estimation, financial analysis, project impact,
alternative descriptions, alternative evaluation, and results and suggestions.
The farm fresh provided the scope, which was well within the capacity and schedule. Farm Fresh
requested a simple project that could be implemented in two months to replace their paper manuals
and excel sheets with an automated system that would minimize human errors, decrease wastage,
reduce the labour cost, to obtained quickly without any delay, to maintain the stock in a proper
way and allow them to operate more efficiently.
4.4 Technical feasibility.
The technological resources accessible to the organization are the subject of this examination.
The proposed system's hardware, software, and other technical needs are also evaluated for
technical feasibility.
The system's minimum requirements are as follows:
A. Development environment requirements
• Desktop / Laptop with 4GB ram, Core i5 3GHz or more and 256Gb SSD Hard Disk
• Windows based operating system.
• Visual Studio.
• SQL database.
• Adobe Photoshop / Any photo editing tool.
25
B. Client Requirements
• PC/Laptop with Windows Operating System.
• PC/Laptop .NET Runtime.
4.5 Economic feasibility
Economic Feasibility often entails a cost/ benefits analysis of the project. Before financial
resources are given, it is necessary to establish the viability, cost, and advantages of a project. It
also functions as an impartial project assessment and improves project credibility by assisting
decision-makers in determining the proposed project's positive economic advantages to the
business.
Farm Fresh already has a good infrastructure. Because the machine is already in use for other
purposes, there is no additional cost for setting up the operating environment. Furthermore, the
employees are already in and comfortable with computer technology. The system is user-friendly

6 Chapter 6 implementation
As per the request of the client, I chose a Windows forms app written in C#. The SQL database
was created using the Entity Framework Code First technique. The LINQ query language is used
to obtain and filter data from SQL databases.
C# is a high-level programming language, which means it may be used to construct applications
that aren't restricted to a specific type of computer. Rather than being computer languages, these
languages read and write like human languages. It's simple to use and compatible with Windows.
No extra configurations are required for a C# program to execute in the Windows environment.
C# is the most widely used language for backend coding and automation on Windows systems.
The core advantages of using C# are,
• Object-Oriented Programming
• Garbage Collection by Automatons:
• Easy to Create:
• Improved Interconnection
• Cost-Effective
• Syntax that is both familiar and simple
• Assistance with programming
41
Architecture of the Software
Poultry quantity data will be tracked and updated so that when the amount of food to feed each
day can be calculated. In object-oriented technology, this project will be constructed using three
tiered structures.

8 Chapter 8 EVALUATION and CONCLUSION
Today, the system has clearly handled the client's issues and has been cross-checked against the
Software Requirements. There are some more capabilities to incorporate into the system,
therefore it will simply be waiting for some additional modifications with completely web-based
software.
This project helped in developing practical experience and put the knowledge I had learned in
coursework to use. It was intriguing to take what I had learned in previous courses and apply
other strategies, and certain concepts, tools, and techniques only made sense after seeing them in
action in a real-world context. It was difficult at times, but it was a fantastic and excellent
learning experience.

Some notes on what this means for students:

1. Copying another student's work is an offence, whether from a copy on paper or from a computer file, and in whatever
form the intellectual property being copied takes, including text, mathematical notation and computer programs.
2. Taking extracts from published sources without attribution is an offence. To quote ideas, sometimes using extracts, is
generally to be encouraged. Quoting ideas is achieved by stating an author's argument and attributing it, perhaps by
2
quoting, immediately in the text, his or her name and year of publication, e.g. "e = mc (Einstein 1905)". A
references section at the end of your work should then list all such references in alphabetical order of authors'
surnames. (There are variations on this referencing system which your tutors may prefer you to use.) If you wish to
quote a paragraph or so from published work then indent the quotation on both left and right margins, using an italic
font where practicable, and introduce the quotation with an attribution.

2 Abstract
Farm Fresh aims to make a profit by operating poultry farms in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the poultry business
has decided to initiate a standalone software to regulate and monitor the feeding activities of the
business by using the technology. It is a desktop-based application which helps to Manage the stocks
available in the farm, cage management, food feeding management, and to create reports. Poultry
Management System has secured access to admin. The admin shall be able to keep track of different
users and Supervisors. It's a clever desktop application that can help farm owners keep track of food
management that happens on the farm. For example, the document includes descriptions of the above-
mentioned program, such as the introduction. The report described the diagrams that were used with
explanations to design the system and execute the system with different user interfaces, in the software
dimension, uses C Sharp and SQL in the context database.

4 1. Introduction
We are living in this modern world everything is becoming computerized. All the paper works
are ended up in this world. Industries also switched their system to a proper way. The poultry
industry is the most dynamic sector within the global meat business during the last decade. In
Sri Lanka, the poultry business is the fastest expanding livestock industry. With the greatest
growth reflected in the food global demand increase. It is expected that, in the next years the
meat industry will increase production driven by global population growth. Chickens are the
most common sources of poultry meat.
Owners of the poultry industry facing many problems to develop their products and, they are
facing difficulties to keep the records. Feed stuff is a very important feature of commercial
poultry rearing, not only because it is primarily responsible for the hens' growth response, but
also because it is the most expensive part of the production cycle. Feed costs are the primary
drivers of profitability for commercial poultry farms, and proper nutrition is largely responsible
for current poultry species' remarkable growth rate responses. In addition, the cost of labour and
food wastage are major issues in the industry. To meet this problem, the sector needs to
implement a well-organized structure.
The poultry management system will aid the industry to overcome these problems. With the help
of this system the industry can develop their products and also, they can gain all the aspects
within the business.
1.1 Benefits of the System.

This system helps them to get these benefits.
• Can reduce the labour cost.
• Can maintain a good feeding system without any wastage of food.
• It helps to use the time in efficient way.
• The information on poultry business can be obtained quickly without any delay.
• User friendly system.
• It can help to maintain the stock in a proper way.
• Can help farm owners keep track of everything that happens on the farm.
104
1.2 Aim
Every day the System should calculate how much of feed will be required depend on the day
count of chicks and total number of chicks for that specific cage, if chick dies number of chicks
will be updated which relevant to specific cage and system should calculate the quantity of
chicks after number of dead chicken information provided to the system, the required feed
weight for any specific day for a chick will be predefined and customizable.
1.3 Objectives of the System.
The Main Objective of the project is to Manage the amount of poultry food.
• To replace the manual method of documenting poultry farm records with an
automated system.
• To create a system that makes updating poultry farm records easier.
• To create a desktop application that may be used to manage and give information
about the poultry farm's cage, stock and food data.
• To create a system that would help in the presenting of poultry farm reports.
• Manage the Information of the Chick Feed items.
• Display the Information and the details of the chicks.
• Provide a Printing Facility Option for track the process.
• Update the dead chick count.
• A summarized report of the whole progress.
• Detailed report of each cage
• Management of poultry feeding data.

documentation. When a customer calculates these things manually, it can waste time and
increase labour costs. Chickens' health can be harmed by human errors too. They will need a
well-organized system to solve these issues. This system will take the place of the manual
method, as it is predicted to be more efficient, useful, and cost-effective in completing the tasks
desired by the farm manager.
Based on the current situation, this is a unique situation for which there are no ready-made
software solutions. As a rapidly growing industry, production will continue to rise day by day.
When a company grows, so does the demand for chicken, and the client grows with it. And do
not intend to devote further human resources to this endeavour.
cage and, ideally, reduce costs while maintaining a healthy poultry management system. It
should provide an interface for entering the number of deceased chicks counted and time
intervals, as well as a detailed track report for each cage. Depending on the nature of the poultry
sector, this software could be enhanced in the future.
6 2.1 Requirements.
It was possible to determine the needs with the use of the different requirement collecting
approaches described above, minimizing the project's risk. As a result, elicited needs are divided
into functional and non-functional categories, as illustrated below.
106
2.1.1 Functional Requirements.
• Users shall be able to login and signup
•Passwords shall be stored in the database
• Users shall be able to add stock
•Users shall be able to remove stock
•Users shall be able to manage stock
•Users shall be able to add cage
•Users shall be able to remove cage
•Users shall be able to update cage
•Users shall be able to manage the food to the relevant cage
•Users shall be able to update the dead chicken count
• Users shall be able to take various reports
2.1.2 Non- Functional Requirements.

• Errors should be handled properly and display a meaningful error message to the user
• Remaining stock should be calculated automatically.
• The category of the food should be assigned to the cage accordingly.
• The amount of the food should be calculated automatically.
107
7 2.2 Architecture of the Software.
Poultry Quantity information will be tracked and updated to Measure the amount of food to feed
every day. This project will be developed under three layered architectures commonly called as
MVC architecture in object-oriented technology.
108
8 2.3 Similar Applications
smartbirdapp.com
2.3.2 poultryplan.com
109
When examining these projects, it becomes clear that they have some similarities, such Stock
maintenance, and that they are all based on Web. Even so, there are more differences than
similarities. Each project has its own traits and characteristics that might aid the developer in
forming an idea for a new concept and putting it into practice.

15 5. Progress Review
Since the approval has been given started to research for existing softwares in the market. started
work by examining the present business model and done the requirement gatherings. Made the
client meetings via WhatsApp because of the pandemic situation. Discussed about the issues
that the business facing without a proper system and discussed the requirement of the system to
develop the products of the business.
According to the Gantt chart, it can be observed that approximately 10% of the project has been
completed. The project is behind the schedule as because the reason is due to pandemic situation
in the country and also because of the client unresponsiveness of the relevant in a timely manner.
Earlier the client requirement was to create a web-based software for access from anywhere and
mobile compatibility but after the lockdown situation in Sri Lanka the client has some issues in
their business, so the client wants to make a stand alone software to cut the maintenance cost of
this software.
Due to the problems in the client side, the client nearly put the project on hold when the
implementation phase began. Fortunately, the client later decided to proceed with the project
with a standalone software. As a result, it was decided to make up for lost time by redefining
efficient time management and working longer hours than scheduled. It is now expected that the
implementation and subsequent phases will be completed as scheduled.
