Problem Statement: Online
Library Management System
Description:
Borrowing books,
returning books or
viewing the available
books at the
library of ABC University Computer Science Department is
currently done manually. The students and faculty has to go
to the Library and check the available books at the Library. They can borrow
book(s) only if that book(s) is/are available.
Then the librarian makes manual entry on the Library card issued to the members
(Students and faculty) and allows them to check out the book(s). The searching,
booking and maintaining the records become difficult due to lack of a database.
This project aims
to develop an Online Library Management System for ABC University. This
system would be used by members who may be students or faculty members
of the Department to check the availability
of the books
and borrow the
books, and by
the librarian to
update the databases.
It focuses on
the capabilities and
facilities provided by a real Library.
Considering the above scenario,
Question 1)
Work
breakdown structure (WBS) is a technique to decompose the project for the purpose
of management and control. It provides the framework for organizing and managing
the work. The WBS is
commonly used at the beginning of a project for defining project scope,
organizing Gantt schedules and estimating costs.
(a)
Suppose the project needs to complete in 60
working days. In the context of the given scenario, write down the WBS (Gantt chart) using MS Project tool.
