| dc.description.abstract | In many development projects, reporting implementation progress has become of great importance. Project
implementation reporting should be done right and in a timely manner for decision making. Reporting on
project progress and data consolidation can be challenging if several projects are undertaken
simultaneously across several regions. To this end, this research describes why project monitoring is
necessary.
Due to advancement in technology, many organizations have noticed the increasing benefits of using
Information Communication Technologies to the function of project monitoring.
This paper describes and reports on an effective system for monitoring of Constituency Funded projects
using best practice project monitoring framework.
Besides the research, the project also involved the design and development of a system that would help to
monitor several projects across several regions. To this end, a web based project monitoring solution is
desirable. The web solution has been used to specify and implement the framework to represent all the
processes in project monitoring. The use of web technology has been motivated by an increased demand for
information sharing, transparency and efficiency in project implementation.
Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) was used as a research methodology to
create the system. PHP and MySQL were used to develop the web application and the database.
The system consists of a main function including User Management System, Project Monitoring System,
and Report Projects Progress System. The System users are divided into four levels depending on user's
authorization -system administrators, project directors, project coordinators, and senior officials of the
Constituency Development Fund Board- to manage, track, monitor, update information, handle real-time
projects progress, and analyze the projects efficiently.
The outcome of this research is a web-based project monitoring system which monitors, updates progress
in projects, and tracks the progress and status of the projects. | en |
