university or even at a lower level. What is assured is that the development of such a
system is done with the main intention of improving the standard of working in such an
environment. It concerns more of a project management based environment.
. This report is an extension of the proposal submitted for approval as a Final
Year Project. The following paper will present the background of study, problem
statement on the problem the current system in terms of users interaction, effectiveness
and the HCI properties of the system and the objectives and scope of this study. The
methodology used by the researcher is based on the Waterfall Model where two phases
which are analyze phase and design phase is covered in this report. It also covers the
findings of the research carried out by the research and explained them in terms of pie
charts and the functionalities of the proposed system and how they work has also been
explained by the usage of use case, class diagram and sequence diagram. Among the
implications and contributions of this research is the identification of features that may
maximize the likelihood of user satisfaction and return visits to the system
