MIS604- Requirements Engineering Case Study Student Gigz Pty Ltd is a recently formed student start-up company in a university accelerator program in Adelaide. Their business focuses on ensuring that organisations can call on students, in short notice, to fulfil their short-term vacancies/ needs for specialised skills. Student Gigz Pty Ltd is building a web and mobile application combination. This application should allow organisations that require short term assistance to register for the service online to source students with the appropriate skills. The company will be funded by a pro rata commission charged per hours worked by each student. The web will be a portal for organisations s where they will be able to sign all contracts and undertakings and post listings for their short-term employment needs. They will be able to send job alters to students with the appropriate skills in their listing, who are able to work in their location via a message broadcast. The organisations will also be able to review student profile’s and send targeted message to students with the experiences in a specific area. The mobile application is designed as the primary student interface. Students will be able to create a profile where they will be able to select their skills from a pre-existing list as well as the locations where they are able to work. Typical jobs might include project support, accounting support, wireframing, high fidelity html prototyping and marketing. Contact can be made post-matching for students to find out more about the job or the organisation to find out more about the student’s availability. Once the job is completed, payment can be made securely through the app. The organisation will also be able to rate and review the student. Your company has been engaged by Student Gigz (Pty Ltd) to help them with the requirements analysis for this project. MIS604_Assessment_1_Brief_Requirements Elicitation Report_Module Due2.2 Page 1 of 4 Task Summary This Assessment requires you to respond to a case study. The same case study will be used for all three assessments so that you can develop insights into the different facets of Requirements Engineering. For this assessment, you are required to produce an individual report of 1500 words (+/-10%) detailing a requirements elicitation plan for the case organisation. The report should contain the following: 1. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan detailing: a. Stakeholder list b. Areas of influence and Power mapped on a Power/Interest Grid c. Definitions of the stakeholder’s power and interest. 2. An Elicitation Activity Plan detailing: a. Four elicitation methods b. An explanation of each method and why it has been selected c. A tailored and customised example of the information gathering tool you will use for each method d. Which stakeholders will be engaged for the elicitation activity and why? Context Business Analysts work with organisations to improve organisational processes and systems. One of the most important parts of a Business Analysts job is to elicit requirements from stakeholders so that there is a clear understanding of what will be required from the new system. This requires a Business Analyst to understand who their stakeholders are, how to engage with them and which elicitation methods to use. This assessment aims to develop your knowledge and skills in this area and to lay down the foundation of knowledge for your future professional practice. Task Instructions 1. Please read the attached MIS604_Assessment_Case Study. 2. Write a 1500 words (+/-10%) requirements elicitation plan for the case organisation. ASSESSMENT 1 BRIEF Subject Code and Title MIS604 Requirements Engineering Assessment Requirements Elicitation Report Individual/Group Individual Length 1500 words (+/- 10%) Learning Outcomes The Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by successful completion of the task below include: b) Demonstrate methods for eliciting, analysing, documenting, and maintaining requirements in an organisational context. c) Synthesise key principles of requirements management and communicate to stakeholders in order to solve problems. Submission Due by 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of Module 2.2 Weighting 25% Total Marks 100 marks MIS604_Assessment_1_Brief_Requirements Elicitation Report_Module Due2.2 Page 2 of 4 3. Review your subject notes to establish the relevant area of investigation that applies to the case. Re- read any relevant readings for module 1 and 2 for this subject. Perform additional research and investigation and select five additional sources in the area of elicitation methods to add depth to your explanation of method selection. 4. Plan how you will structure your ideas for your report and write a report plan before you start writing. The report does not require an executive summary or abstract. 5. Please structure the report as follows: A professional custom title page with the subject code and subject name, assignment title, student’s name, student number and lecturer’s name An introduction (100-150 words) which will also serve as your statement of purpose for the report. This means that you will tell the reader what you are going to cover in your report. You will need to inform the reader of: • The key concepts you will be addressing, • What the reader can expect to find in the body of the report The body of the report (1200-1300 words) will need to cover two specific areas: • A Stakeholder Engagement Plan including: i. Stakeholder list ii. A Power/Interest Grid iii. Definitions of each stakeholder’s power and interest • An Elicitation Activity Plan. i. Four elicitation methods ii. An explanation of each method and why it has been selected iii. A tailored and customised example of the information gathering tool you will use for each method iv. Which stakeholders will be engaged for the elicitation activity and why? The conclusion (100-150 words) will summarise any findings or recommendations that the report puts forward regarding the concepts covered in the report. 6. The report should use font Arial or Calibri 11 point, should be line spaced at 1.5 for ease of reading and page numbers on the bottom of each page. If diagrams or tables are used, due attention should be given to pagination to avoid loss of meaning and continuity by unnecessarily splitting information over two pages. Diagrams must carry the appropriate captioning. 7. You are strongly advised to read the rubric which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading the assignment. This will give you a clear picture of what a successful report looks like. Referencing There are requirements for referencing this report using APA referencing style and it is expected that students reference any lecture notes used and five additional sources in the relevant subject area based on readings and further research. It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research.
