2.3 Problem Definition

2.3.1 Problem Statement

There is a pressing need to develop a Scholar Information System for the GJJSP Team. The following problems are sought to be addressed by the proposed project:

1. The GJJSP Team is facing challenges in the current submission process. Scholars often take 2-3 weeks to submit requirements because requests are through Facebook Messenger, making urgent requests difficult to manage, and the physical handover of requirements adds inconvenience for both scholars and the GJJSP Team.

2. The GJJSP Team currently uses Excel entirely for manual processes, resulting in data duplication, and time-consuming data management such as updating, querying, editing, adding, and deleting Scholar data every School Year having an average of an hour in just creating one scholar record, and having 5-10 inconsistent scholar records.

3. The GJJSP Team lacks data visualization in their reports which may affect the decision-making of the benefactors during Mid-year, and Year-end Accomplishments reports.

4. The GJJSP Team has trouble staying connected with scholars because the team is the only one who can update contact details which means any changes scholars make to their contact information cannot be quickly added to the system, leading to outdated or missing info and making it hard to communicate efficiently.

2.3.2 Organizational Impact

The Gado and Jess Jalandoni Scholarship Project (GJJSP) is facing a pressing and contemporary system problem in the way they manage and track their scholars. The GJJSP Team relies on manual tracking methods, primarily using Excel Spreadsheets to maintain records. The current system does not incorporate scholar-tracking data management and report generation.

2.3.3 Technology Migration

The team will utilize tools and frameworks for front-end and back-end development, having a standardized development environment, an optimized database system, and the system's deployment.

In the context of the front-end development, the React JS library [11] will be used as this will help to build user interfaces because of the component-based approach and high-speed work. As the main design system for our website, the team will make use of Materialize UI (MUI) [12] because of its features of accessibility, responsive design, and the built UI components which are rebranded and customized to GJJSP.

In the back end, the Laravel framework [13] will be used for authentication, and authorization while ensuring adherence to code organization, maintainability, and scalability. The system processes are being monitored using the REST API [14] for adding, deleting, and updating data.

The development environment is brought up to speed with Docker [15] containerization, which makes creating and scaling infinitely easier, more flexible, and portable. Docker images will be used to handle the application environment which includes containerized applications including Nginx [16], PhpMyAdmin [17], and MySQL [18].

The storage of Scholar data is a bit more different; it involves keeping it for 3-7 years after graduation, which may be anonymized or archived depending on the ages of records and policies. Files can be stored only at the capacity of the memory.

The application and database for the GJJSP-SIS are hosted on Linode [19] and AWS (Amazon Web Services) [20]. The frontend React application is deployed on AWS, while the backend, which includes the server and database, is hosted on Linode. The frontend communicates with the backend through a secure connection. The client will be provided with a detailed budget for deployment.

2.7 Alternatives Analysis

The needs assessment report for the Gado and Jess Jalandoni Scholarship Team (GJJSP) undertakes alternative analaysis that specifies the weaknesses present in the existing manual methods and propose remedies to correct the deficiencies.

The objectives of the new regulations include the improvement of the efficiency of managing the scholarship processes.

Firstly, the option to create scholar accounts directly within the system saves time as well as minimizes the number of mistakes made during manual repetition thus making the data entry more accurate. Secondly, there is the importance of a direct email function to strengthen the relationship between Scholar Managers and Scholars so as to meet deadlines for document submissions on time.

This ability makes a huge difference between the really high rates of accuracy and efficiency and the totally ineffective ways of using the messengers services only. Moreover, integrating a portal that enables Scholars to submit their required documents through the system provide extra level of organization and efficiency when it comes to document submission by directly associating with Scholar profiles.

Generally, the above-proposed modifications will move data management further, decrease the processes, and make a positive influence on user experience, which collaboration the defined drawbacks and supporting the objectives of the project.

Pros:
  • Low-cost option as it utilizes the existing manual procedures without requiring additional investment in new systems or technologies.
  • Familiarity with current processes may lead to minimal disruption in workflow initially.
Cons:
  • Lacks scalability and may hinder the ability to handle increasing volumes of scholarship applications efficiently.
  • Reliance on manual procedures increases the likelihood of errors and inconsistencies in data entry and management.
  • Limited automation and communication capabilities may result in delays in document submissions and processing times.
  • Potential for decreased user satisfaction due to outdated processes and lack of modern features.
Conclusion:

This option was not chosen because while it may be initially cost-effective, it fails to address the inefficiencies and limitations of the current manual procedures. Additionally, it does not align with the project's objectives of enhancing efficiency and user experience.

4. STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY PLAN

4.1 Introduction

Stakeholder Management is essential in project management and can have a significant impact on the project’s success. This Stakeholder Management Strategy Plan was created with the Gado and Jess Jalandoni Scholarship Project (GJJSP), a transformative effort to provide deserving students with higher education opportunities. The GJJSP demonstrates the Assisi Development Foundation and its dedicated team’s unwavering dedication to investing human capital in education.

The GJJSP Team is guided by the ideals of service, quality, innovation, honesty, teamwork, and social responsibility and has helped improve the lives of countless people in many areas, cities, and educational institutions. With a strong emphasis on social inclusion and collaboration with partner groups, the GJJSP has effectively assisted scholars from all backgrounds. In recognition of the GJJSP’s significant impact and continuous growth, there is a need for an effective, unified, and user-friendly system to streamline scholar data administration and improve stakeholder communication. This requirement prompted the development of GJJSP-SIS, an innovative information system intended to transform the way data is gathered, updated, evaluated, and preserved for GJJSP scholars.

This Stakeholder Management Strategy Plan outlines a thorough approach to engaging and managing stakeholders during GJJSP-SIS deployment. This strategy intends to promote GJJSP-SIS's successful adoption and utilization by aligning stakeholders’ interests, enabling open communication, and proactively resolving potential difficulties, thereby helping the GJJSP Team to execute its goal more efficiently and effectively

4.2 Outline View

The outline view for the work breakdown structure (WBS) of the GJJSP-SIS provides a straightforward and clear layout that is easy to understand. This layout is particularly useful during the project's development phase as it enables the project team to make changes quickly and efficiently. The outline view displays the hierarchical structure of the WBS, which allows the project team to easily see the various levels of the project and how they relate to one another. With this view, the team can easily identify the major deliverables of the project and the sub-deliverables that contribute to the completion of each major deliverable. This helps ensure that the project team stays on track and can complete the project within the established timeline.
