Email Brief

Dear Project Management Team
We have decided upon the name of a new Reality TV show called No Escape. However, we need your help with this project: storing all the data in a suitable format and interrogate the data to obtain appropriate information. It’s really important that we create an amazing show and that everything runs smoothly. We must do better this time around!
First of all I will need your help in storing the information somewhere safe and in a suitable format so that the information can be used. You will be doing this by adding data to an existing database. Another task we would like you to do is find out how many people actually like watching reality TV Shows.
To help you with this you will need to create a questionnaire to give to these people to answer. Your questionnaire must include suitable response methods. Once the information is gathered from these questionnaires you will be asked to store this data in a database using a package called Microsoft Access.
Once data is entered you will answer some simple questions by creating different queries and reports. These reports will then need to be formatted in an appropriate way so they are suitable for the target audience.
FINALLY you will have the chance to evaluate the whole project and see what worked well and what can be improved for next time. These improvements would then need to be actionned and presented to the producer
You will need to use the System Lifecycle to help you plan each step of your project.
Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Mike Real
Executive Producer
Get Real TV Ltd.
