Conceptualizing and Initializing the IT

Project
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter 2 describes how IT projects are conceptualized and initialized. After studying
this chapter, you should understand and be able to:
 Describe the project life cycle (PLC) and the systems development life cycle
(SDLC), and their relationship.
 Define what a methodology is and describe the role it serves in IT projects.
 Identify the phases and infrastructure that make up the IT project methodology
introduced in this chapter.
 Develop and apply the concept of a project's measurable organizational value
(MOV).

INTRODUCTION
This chapter will introduce a framework for an IT project methodology that will be
integrated throughout this text. A methodology provides a game plan for planning and
managing the IT project and recommends the phases, processes, tools, and techniques
to be followed and used throughout the project life cycle. All projects, however, are
unique. A project methodology must be flexible in order to be useful. Moreover, a
methodology should evolve to include the best practices that are derived from an
organization's lessons learned. Over time, the methodology will better fit the
organization and may even.

We want to develop an online e-voting machine system so that the

complexity which is there in the present voting system and the cost is
associated with it will be reduced. This e-Voting Machine System will help a
voter to submit their vote even though they are not in their locality which
helps the voter to participate in the voting. This e-Voting Machine System
will also be helpful for election commission for counting of votes, and they
can check the status of the percentage of votes submitted in any voting
booth. This will also improve the security of each vote so which will avoid
the illegal polling.
