Unit 2 Systems Development Assignment

Continuing from the Unit 1 assignment, the objectives for this assignment are as follows:

1. Based on feedback from your instructor and the knowledge that you have gained, update your detailed project plan from Unit 1 with corrections and/or added details.
2. Conduct a search for potential financial and budgeting applications for which the functionality may meet the needs of a small business. Your search should include applications that will run on different devices (windows, Mac, mobile), although not necessarily all three for each application. Identify the applications, briefly describe their functionality, identify their price, and identify what types of devices upon which each will operate. A minimum of 10 applications should be identified, though it is encouraged that more be identified. Your description of functionality should identify key features for each application and should include a minimum of five features identified.
3. For this assignment, it will be assumed that the device(s) you own equals those used by the small business. The remaining portion of the assignment will reference the device as that owned by the small business. Identify the devices (desktop/laptop/notebook, tablet, or smartphone) that are owned by the company (ones you own). Be sure to identify the brand, device type, and operating system.
4. Which of the applications are feasible, given the constraint of the types of devices that are currently owned by the company? Is there any discernable loss in functionality with the exclusion of the applications that cannot operate with these devices? Please explain.
5. Which of the applications are feasible, given cost or price constraints? Is there any discernable loss in functionality with the exclusion of the applications that exceed the cost or price constraints? Please explain.
6. Which of the applications are feasible, given cost or price, and device constraints? Is there any discernable loss in functionality with the exclusion of the applications that exceed the cost or price, and device constraints? Please explain.
7. Based on the findings in 3, 4, and 5 above, identify at least three applications that will be the subject of the next steps in this assignment and project. If three are not identified in #5, select an additional application(s) that will work with the device(s) owned by the company.
8. Identify the key stakeholders (e.g. executives, owners, accountant, bank, etc.) that should serve as members of the project team. Please explain the rationale for your selection.
