Development+of+the+project

** Development of the project **   Students are advised to use the following guidelines to produce their project. This will ensure it fulfills the requirements of the criteria.  When developing the ITGS project, the student must follow the processes as set out in each of the criteria. Criteria A–D inclusive must be reviewed by the teacher before allowing the student to proceed to making the product in criterion E.   The student must identify a specific client who has a problem with the present situation that can be best addressed by an IT solution. The client is the person(s) who needs the IT solution (product). After consulting with the client, the student must explain the inadequacies of the present situation, which may or may not involve the use of an IT system.  <span style="color: #141413; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The following key questions should be considered. · <span style="color: #141413; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Who is the client? · <span style="color: #141413;
