Assessment Details:
In this assignment, you have to perform a system analysis and design for the Gold-Cinema System (GCS) case study provided below.
Case Study: Gold-Cinema System (GCS)
The Gold- Cinema is a ticket office that would like to develop an online system for keeping track of customers, productions, performances, and seats. The Gold- Cinema intends to keep track of their customers to notify their customers about upcoming events and identify loyal customers. For this purpose, customers require to create an account before booking any ticket for the first time. The Information records on the online system consist of first and last name, residential address, city, zip code, mobile number, and email address. After entering all the information, a unique identification number is created for each customer (customer's ID) membership. If the customers face any issues with creating an account or booking a ticket, the advisor needs to support them. In this case, the online system needs to record the assigned advisor for each customer by using the customer's ID each time.
Further, the new online system keeps the information of the name and type of the program, such as movie, play, or concert. Also, the number of tickets sold for each program and the date of performance is precisely recorded.
The cinema management wishes to operate an entirely testable procedure to the whole online system to discover any bug and major issues before the final launch of the system. The duration of the project is two months.
The company considers different methods to estimate the investments in this project. Table 1 presents the information the accountant provided to the system analyst to calculate Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period and Return on Investment (ROI).

Tasks:
- Develop your introduction and clearly define the aims and objectives of the report.
- Develop system vision document with all details.
- Explain the requirements for the new system (FURPS requirements)
- Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) description supported with a table for the GCS project explaining the ID, description, and duration for each task based on the project's duration.
- Develop PERT/CPM chart explaining the early and late start for each task. Identify the critical path and the total time to finish the project.
- Recognize internal and external stakeholders for the new system.
- Use the information in Table 1, calculate the net present value, the payback period, and the return on investment using a discount rate of 6%. The development costs for the project were $15,000. Do a five-year return on investment.
You may need to make some assumption as required. Whenever you make assumptions, please state these clearly.
