Task: Software Development for Social Good
You are employed by a local bank and as part of their social responsibility program, your project
team has been tasked with creating an App aimed at assisting and benefiting a South African Nongovernmental organisation (NGO) of your choice. You are required to think of an innovative idea
that could lead to the development of an App for this organisation.
The following are ideas to get you started on a App for your project:
• An App for connecting an NGO with potential donors
• An educational App for an NGO focused on special needs children.
• An App for an NGO focused on addressing Gender based Violence (GBV) in South Africa
• etc
Your solution should:
• Digitise the processes involved in the NGO.
• Make the solution simple, efficient and reliable.
• Ensure hardened security is implemented.
• Use low data and free to use.
Your task is to demonstrate how you would apply project management knowledge and skills when
creating the information technology solution - the App from start to finish. Use a suitable IT (or
any other) project management methodology and project management software.
Note:
The idea you develop must be communicated to your lecturer and be accepted or approved by
your lecturer before you start the project.

• Preferably, the system approach/project information system approach is to be followed;
• The budget is limited to R1 000 000;
