Projects are usually divided into eight phases. Each phase has an objective, associated documents and deliverables. Phase 1: The first phase intends to produce a Requirements Evaluation and Project Proposal document.
Areas to be addressed include:
- Fundamental Problem to be solved
- Tasks/functions the FOSS Education Solution will perform
- Benefits/Savings/Cost Justification
- Economic
- Contribution to EFA goals and objectives
- Quality
- Performance Requirements
- Security
- Compatibility/Migration
- Product integration
- Packaging
- Related/Dependent Projects; Other Dependencies
The project proposal document should set the background, define the fundamental concepts, compare and evaluate the alternate FOSS Education solutions in terms of functionality and compatibility, and should be accompanied by a thoughtful analysis of the current isolated FOSS Education Solutions and the desired integrated FOSS solution. It should also identify the missing components if any.
- Phase 2: Planning Phase
- Phase 3: Detailed Design Phase
- Phase 4: Construction Phase
- Phase 5: Testing Phase
- Phase 6: Implementation Phase
- Phase 7: User Support Phase
- Phase 8: Completion Phase
Please note that this is a first attempt to design a project proposal for building a FOSS Education Solution targeting universities. It needs further improvement and elaboration. It could also be envisaged to build a FOSS Education Solution for secondary education (or K12).
