Task Description 1.1 Overview You are required to read the provided Case Study document (on MySCU) and complete each of the activities and questions in the weeks advised. The answers to all activities and questions are to be collected in one “Systems Requirements Report” with a title page, page numbers, table of contents, headings and all other report formatting. The purpose of the full System Requirements Report is to guide and enable your fictional client to make a rational selection from options for a proposed computer application. The Initial Investigation part of this report will include: Business Information including Organisation Chart System Vision Document Project Management Chart Simplified Risk and Cost-Benefit Analysis Feasibility Analysis You will be required to include other sections and models in the full Systems Requirements Report (see Part B). For example: Fact Finding Documents Use Cases ERD and Domain Model Class Diagrams System Sequence Diagrams Project Management Charts with progress against tasks Conclusions and Recommendations. You will also be required to make a presentation as part of this unit (worth 10% of your marks). Specific Topics will be released separately, but note that your presentation will be based on a detailed consideration on an aspect of this process.

This approach should assist you with the inevitable changes that you (or another analyst, in a real life system) will need to make, and also gives a better quality and hence more readable result. Hand-drawn diagrams are not suitable for this project. 2. Marking Criteria You should refer to the rubric available on the website for marking criteria and each section should be of sufficient length to adequately describe that section. http://www.scu.edu.au/current-students/study-resources/academic-skills/quick-guides/ http://www.scu.edu.au/media/scueduau/staff/teaching-and-learning/ctl-document-downloads/as-quick- Systems Analysis & Design 3 Session 3 2019, Report Part A 3. Submission Format You will be required to check this assignment through Turnitin on MySCU. Please leave adequate time to review your assignment for originality, through the Turnitin process. Your Part A and Final Report assignment submissions should each be in the form of ONE Microsoft Word document, including the Turnitin statement. You should include your diagrams in this Word document, as clear graphics. Note: any graphics that cannot be clearly seen will NOT be marked. Your Word document should be named as: Lastname_FirstIinitial_PartA.doc (or docx). For example, my submission would be named Cooper_G_PartA.doc or Cooper_G_PartA.docx. 4. More information If you need more information about completing this assignment, then you should contact your local lecturer or tutor. 5. Original work Your assignment must be your original work. Assignments form a major part of course work. Exchange of ideas with other people can be considered educationally valuable; however, excessive collaboration will be regarded as plagiarism, which is a University offence. For example, the copying of significant parts of a document, even if subsequently modified, is plagiarism. Such academic dishonesty will be penalised in accordance with the University's rules and regulations. You must not copy material from books, magazines, internet sources or other students’ assignments. Of course, you may include direct quotes from any source, but these must be small (e.g. one sentence or one paragraph) and must be properly referenced, using the Harvard Referencing Style. The value and relevance of including materials from another source must be fully explained. If plagiarism is found in your assignment, you may receive zero marks for this assignment. The assessment process may require some students to attend an interview in order to explain aspects of their assignment. 6. Problems to avoid Start early to allow sufficient time for thorough analysis, report writing and production of many analysis diagrams. Do not copy materials from any source, unless referenced. Explain the value and significance of any external materials. 7. Identification To clearly identify your work, ensure the following information appears in the footer of your report: Student ID, Unit code (ISY00243), Session and year (Session 3, 2019) Systems Analysis & Design 4 Session 3 2019, Report Part A 8. Retain duplicate copy You are strongly advised to retain a copy of original work, and progressive versions of your work during the session. In the event of any uncertainty regarding the submission of assessment items, you may be requested to reproduce a final copy and/or any previous versions of your work. 9. Penalty for late submission A penalty of 5% per calendar day will be applied to all late assignments. An extension of time will only be considered (not necessarily approved) when a written request is submitted with appropriate supporting documentation and in accordance with University guidelines. 10. Marks and Feedback Marks and feedback comments will be returned through your MySCU site for this unit. 1.

Marks and Feedback ISY00243 Case Study Case Study Part 1Note: This case study is to be used throughout this Session to answer questions in set activities, which will be compiled into a report. Part A of the report, an “Initial Investigation” is to be submitted at the end of Week 6. The final report (including your Part A adjusted after Mikeer feedback) is to be submitted in Week 12. You should use all relevant parts of the case study to inform your answers for the report. Introduction Natural-Lee produces organically certified vegetables, fruit and nuts, honey, decorative plants and eggs that are grown with permaculture principles and biodynamic soils. It initially started in Kevin Lee’s backyard. He and his friends started a community garden, and due to increasing demand for local grown organic food, it has grown into a commercial venture. The business prospect has expanded in recent years with the return of Kevin to his family property that historically had been used as a station for cattle grazing. Although it was a major commitment, Kevin has turned much of that land into a food forest. He did not do this all by himself. He and his friends have worked tirelessly, and now they have employed horticulture and agriculture students from Southern Cross University’s Plant Science faculty to assist on the property. With the range and volume of produce, along with the outputs of the animals, in addition to the growing number of customers, Kevin is finding it hard to keep the track of things. An information system may provide a way to help manage the increasing complexities of the business. You have been brought in as a business analyst to assist with its organisation. Background Briefing The Early Days – Growing up on the Station Kevin Lee believes that he had been born to be on the land, following as he did, in his fathers’ and grandfathers’ steps with their love and passion for living sustainably and green. Of course there were also differences...especially as Kevin was now passionately dedicated to growing produce rather than attending to sheep and cattle. Kevin has some cows for milk and manure, and recently acquired chickens to provide different manure for fertilizing, in addition to egg production. Kevin grew great organic produce without the use of any pesticides or artificial fertilizer. He practiced companion planting to help protect crops from insect attack, and he cycled different crops from year to year to aid soil health. Kevin carried in his memory an immense body of information about soil types, weather, seasons, crops, crop rotations, soil preparation, and composting. Being a station boy, he also knew many things about animal husbandry too. Living on a station is rough. As managers you have to deal with drought conditions and with a lack of infrastructure such as grid electricity and council water feeds. Basic survival is always at the forefront. Careful planning is a must. Premium Pricing Kevin had given up his occupation as an electrician when he returned to the station to dedicate time to his permaculture activities. He is now committed to growing and selling produce. People happily pay top dollar because of the high quality
