Project Description
Important Notes:
• This Project Description provides only the high-level goals of this project. The development team
MUST elicit more detailed and specific requirements AND get feedback from “the client” (the
lecturer and tutors) during the second half of weekly labs.
• The requirements may change during the course of the project (this is to simulate a real-life project).
FlyDreamAir is a major airline which covers both international and domestic routes with a large fleet of
aircrafts. The airline has a large network of travel agencies and customers across the world. FlyDream is
planning to digitalize its business processes and operations, and has identified three potential projects:
• Project 1: develop an IT software system to manage customers and allow them to book flights, manage
flight reservations, seat selections, purchasing in-flight services such as food and drinks.
• Project 2: develop an IT software system to manage loyalty programs (e.g. frequent flyer points and
rewards including a wide range of ways to earn points, use points, status upgrade, etc.).
• Project 3: develop an IT software system to manage the airline’s lounges across the world (e.g.
customer membership, pay-per-use, bookings, cancellations, occupancy management, search for
lounges, etc.)
Assume that you are members of FlyDreamAir IT team. You are required to select and execute one of the
above projects. In doing so, you would need to exercise various project management skills in different project
management knowledge areas that are discussed in this subject. Note that the focus is on the project
management aspect, rather than the software itself (see the Guidelines section above for more details).
