Developing a Robust Event Management Software for IT-Novice Event Organizers

Event management software was developed for event organizers to manage their
events much more effectively; However, most software is too complex to be used by
many users, especially the IT -novice users. The purpose of this report is to provide
the preliminary information related to the research topic, in which to develop a
robust event management software for IT -novice event organizers. The current
problem is that there is a lack in terms of standard software that can be used for all
event management. To have such standard software would require the user to fine
tune the software to suit the nature of the event to be planned. Therefore, the
software must be easily modified by the event organizers which are assumed to be
IT -novice users. There will be five chapters in this report. in which the first will
provide introduction to the research topic, with some background information,
problem statements, objective and scope of study. In the second chapter, some
literature reviews are included, explaining key idea related to this study. Then, the
methodology used in the study is also proposed in the third chapter, including
feasibility analysis of continuing this project. Chapter four will present the results of
the questionnaire that was conducted among UTP students and lecturers and also the
prototype that had been developed including several discussions. Finally a
conclusion in the final chapter will summarize this report as a whole, including
recommendation in continuing this project.
