Description
Application: Fact Finding and
Requirements Development
One of the most important responsibilities of a systems analyst
is to identify the requirements for a project by gathering information from
various stakeholders of the system. Stakeholders include the users of the
system, those who are paying for the system, and those who will support the
system after it is implemented. The stakeholders may have different opinions on
what the system should do. For this Application, you apply what you’ve learned
about requirements-gathering and fact-finding techniques to a common
technology.
Consider the self-checkout system at a grocery store. What if
that system did not exist yet and you were the system analyst in charge of
developing it? How would you go about determining the system’s requirements?
In 2–3 pages:
·
Identify the roles of people you would interview to learn more
about how the system should function. Why would you choose these people?
·
For the people you have identified, prepare a list of detailed
questions designed to elicit at least five functional and five nonfunctional
requirements. (Hint: Consider techniques such as JAD, concept map, etc.)
·
Create a list of system requirements (five functional and five
nonfunctional) for the self-checkout system.
·
Justify your interview choices, questions, and system
requirements, supporting your analysis with your readings, research, and
professional experience (if applicable).
Cite your sources according to APA guidelines.
