Introduction

1st paragraph -> universally accepted definition of Profiling System.

2nd paragraph -> a definition of Profiling System that is relevant to your own definition
or to the theme of your project by a FOREIGN AUTHOR
3rd paragraph -> a definition of Profiling System that is relevant to your own definition
or to the theme of your project by a LOCAL AUTHOR
4th paragraph -> your own definition of Profiling System that you will use in this project.

1.1. Project Context

This portion of the chapter discusses the concepts underlying the feasibility
of the project.

This portion must answer the following questions in no particular order:

 What is the concern of the project? What activities in the agency to
you want to enhance through computerization?
 Who will be your respondents and who will be benefited and who
will be involved in this project?
 When is the start and finish of the project or how long is the
duration of the project?
 Where is this project conducted and implemented?
 Why do the researchers propose for this project?
 How the project development will be conducted?

Example:

This capstone project entitled “A Proposed Grading System of

ACLC College, Tacloban City ” is a software development project focused
on the improvement and implementation of a software that will automate
the computation and release of grades of student. This project was
started last November 2012 and is expected to be finished until the end of
March 2013.

This project is intended to help faculty members in the preparation

of grading sheet. It is believed that with the help of a software developed
and designed based on the needs of the clients, tasks will be simplified
and thus makes the faculty member more effective in her teaching.
Through this project, the researchers aims to eliminate the long wait of
students in securing their grades.
 The system analyst of this project recommends the use of
Software Engineering techniques to come up with the desired
software and hardware requirements and specification.

1.2. Purpose and Description

This part discusses the purpose of developing this project and a description
of its purpose. This must elaborate what specific actions will be contributed to the
development of the project or what activities in the office will be covered in the
project development and why it has to be part of the whole project.

This project entitled “A Proposed Point-of-Sale System for _________

Canteen” is intended to (improve the existing point of sale / develop a
computerized point of sale) system to automate the sales activities of
____________________Canteen.

This project aims to implement a computerized profiling system for the

__________College of _____ to lessen the enrollment process where the student
has to write every enrollment his/her profile. The automation of such repetitive
task is what the researchers wish to resolve through the development of a
Profiling System
.
List the persons who will be benefited and how they will be benefited.

The College Secretary. This project aims to determine the feasibility of

automated profiling system for the easy collection, storage and retrieval of
student information for the help of the secretary. The secretary is therefore an
essential participant in the development of the requirements.

The Students. This project will aid the researchers in the issues of
repeated activity in writing profile during enrolment. The students will be
involved in providing the researchers with their desired process of submitting and
updating their profile.

1.3. Objectives

General objectives will be stated in this part where the researchers must
describe what they wanted to accomplish at the end of this project development.
Specific objectives shall be enumerated in such a way that the objectives will
become attainable.

This capstone project entitled “A Proposed Profiling System for

_________________College of Information Technology” aims to develop and
implement a computerized profiling system to aid the students, the college
secretary and the college dean in securing, storing , retrieving and updating
student profile.
 Specifically, this capstone project aims to:

 Determine the feasibility of implementing a computerized profiling system

for the College of Information Technology, __________________ City

 Develop the system requirements or system specifications based on the

roles and activities given by the stakeholders and end users.

 Design and develop ____system based on the given system requirements

and specifications

 Develop strategies in maintaining the implemented software and system

 Prove that the developed and implemented system complies with the
system requirements and/or system specifications

1.4. Scope and Limitations

This part presents what particular activity in the agency is the focus of this
project. The researchers must therefore state on this part the scope meaning what
part of the activities in the office is covered and what is not. The limitations refer to
what this project cannot accommodate or what the researchers of this project is not
going to deal with.

The proposed system and how the proposed system will work should NOT
be discussed in this part. Wait until chapter 4 that you have to discuss everything
about the system but not now.

Example:

This capstone project entitled “A Proposed Grading System for the

_____________________College of Information Technology” is focused on the
design, development and implementation of a working Grading System that will
be implemented for all faculty members. Only the process of computation,
storage, submission and release of grades in covered in this project. Account
statements, and billing or payments are not part of this project
