At this point, I indicates some relevant references to you; pls feel free to borrow relevant textbooks from your local public libraries. You should take the opportunity of your study to learn how to apply IT project management concepts  as well as systems analysis and design concepts in your assignment, and reading the relevant literature is required. Do not just say that you are confused with my comments on your assignment proposals; you need to learn the subject via reading the relevant literature and then, learning by you cannot be imposed by the teacher.
