Computer Science final year project Problem writeup

[Shicky]

Hello all, have to write my problem specification for my final year project and well im a little confused as to how I should structure this. The information I have been given is:

Once you have been allocated a project, you should spend approximately three weeks developing the problem specification, which should give a good overview of the problem to be solved, from the user’s perspective. It should provide a general description of the problem including, as appropriate, the way the problem is solved at present and the advantages and disadvantages of the present method. The goals and requirements should also be stated clearly. The constraints of the proposed solution should be specified, including a description of the environment in which the software is to be developed, i.e. the hardware/software platform on which it will run, performance constraints, other programs to be adapted or interfaced to. Verifiable criteria against which the success of the project is to be judged should be identified. Lastly, this should include a Gantt chart outlining the project plan with major milestones and deliverables highlighted.

So has anyone else completed one of these and if so could I see it? No need for your whole writeup, this is just the initial problem description and like i say could do with being pointed in the right in terms of structure

Thanks

Yes thank you I have picked out pretty much exactly what you have from that text. But Im still not sure how to approach it in terms of structure, I didnt think it would be a simple document listing those items you picked out. Im curious what others have put down for their projects both past and present
