MAGS Sports Carnival Project Journal http://sportscarnivalprojectjournal.posterous.com A journel for my sports carnival project posterous.com Thu, 23 Jun 2011 03:39:00 -0700 Journal 9: 23/06/2011 http://sportscarnivalprojectjournal.posterous.com/journal-9-23062011 http://sportscarnivalprojectjournal.posterous.com/journal-9-23062011

Today is the last day that I'll be working on my assignment. I made some changes on the database. I had a probem with creating a drop down box. Then I followed the step on the internet. And I understood it. I made a drop down box for student events. And I also put validation rules for each tables. This allows the users to enter specific data into the database.
I already mentioned this on the prospectous that this system needs a few improvements. One of them is make a new results entry whih will calculate individual's points and house points.

Tonight, I added a few things on my database, such as querries, forms and reports. It was very hard. I had to try it for a few times. I found a problem, access wont let me to import the original data from excel (spreadsheet). I made a new table then it will let me to import the data. After I saved it, I lost my data again, then I tried to import it again, it wont let me. 
It seems to be access can't read the file form.

I sent a few questions to Mr. Cadd last Sunday and I got the results this afternoon. From these results I was able to determine the client's need/want even though I already have an idea what they need. The client didn't mention budget that they wanted to spend for this new system. I estimated the budget and it was $5000. This budget will conver the designing, implementing and designing processes. 
Next lesson, I need to keep continue with creating tables.

Today's lesson I started my database table. I made 3 different tables, this include: students, event and event record tables. Student tables include, first and last name and house. Event tables include even name, record, time, winner and age group. And event records include event name, record and age. 

I keeo forgetting myself to interview Mr. Cadd so I can estimate the designing and implementation cost. I need to have some questions before next lesson.

Today I recieved a feedback from Mr. Fenwick. He said that I need to break the tasks down (more specific) and my problem statement needs requires more detail. 
I did some changes with time plan, I put the dates and break the tasks into more details. 
At the moment, I'm on the right track with my project.

Today I updted my project management. I've decide that I'm going to use parallel system conversion to implement the new system. By the end 2011, cross counrty and foundation day sport carnivals will be running the new system and by the end 2012 all sport carnivals will be running the new system. I chose parallel system conversion because it's the safest method, but it costly. 
Next lesson, I need to finish watching the tutorial video so I can start building my new database system which based around Micrsoft Access.

Today I sent my first draft of my Gantt Chart to Mr. Fenwick. I updated my problem statement, requirement report and ISC diagram. I also started my Feasiblity report. I use Microsoft Publisher because it's easy to use and I've used it a few times. Before the next class I need to have my interview questionns with Mr. Cadd and finish my feasibility study.

Today I started on my project. I made my Gannt Chart on Microsoft Excell. I used MS Excell because it's easy to use and doesn't cost me anything. I also started on my problem statement. I used Microsoft Word to do my project, because it's easy to use. I found out what were the problems with the old system. I almost finished my ISC diagram.
