Question Case Study Q

Case Study Assignment - Part 1 (due Friday 20 March 2015 @ 11:55pm) (late submissions without approved justification may attract graduated marking penalties) There should be only one submission per group in the moodle site (i.e., only one student should submit the assignment on behalf of the group). However, every student should keep a copy of the assignment for future reference.

This is the first of three components for your case study. You should now complete Part 1 of your analysis in your group. There are 6 components required for this assignment. The topics here have been or will be referenced in the lectures as well as exercise components in the tutorials.

This assignment should not exceed 12 pages including diagrams. Use the title page template (to be provided). You may have as many pages of references as required to support your work. If you are not clear how to cite and reference your research consult the unit outline or search for referencing on the UC website. Poor or inappropriate referencing will cost you marks.

1. Write a project purpose for your case study. It is essential to include purpose of the system. Note that the system purpose should focus on business discussion, and should avoid too much technical discussion. In a separate section, it is essential to list functional requirements (functions) of the proposed system.

2. Identify and describe Stakeholders for your case study. This needs to be more than a simple list. There is much literature that describes how you might identify, classify and describe stakeholders, their influence and how they are impacted by the new system. You are urged to explore this and form your analysis based on your investigations. The lecture notes and textbook are great starting points, but should do further research.

3. Develop a rich picture or equivalent diagram for your case study. You have been shown what a rich picture looks like and what it contains. There are many variations. Consider the key elements in a rich picture. Your lecture slides and tutorial exercise note will be invaluable here. Consider why you are creating this artifact and for whom. I expect that you will have already researched these matters and reflecting the results of your research in the assignment. Don't forget to cite and reference your research.

4. Develop a comprehensive table of events, type of event, sources of events, conditions (if applicable), activities, responses and destinations of responses for your case study. This too will be illustrated in the lecture and should reflect your investigation in the tutorials.

5. All assumptions must be documented.

6. List of references (Harvard style). This assignment is not intended to be presented as a many pages of writing. We are looking for evidence of research and reasoning. Each group will get 10 minutes to present their work (including 3-minute Q&A session).
