MIS604 – REQUIREMENT ENGINEERING

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 organisations will also be able to review student profiles and send targeted messages 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.

This Assessment requires you to respond to a case study. For this assessment, you are required to produce an individual report of 1500 words detailing requirements elicitation plans for the case organisation.

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.

Write a 1500 words requirements elicitation plan for the case organisation. Write a 1500 words (+/-10%) requirements elicitation plan for the case organisation.
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.

Plan how you will structure your ideas for your report and write a report plan before you start writing.
