Learning outcomes addressed

1. To explain the approaches available for systems development
2. To apply appropriate project initiation and requirement capture techniques

Background Information/ Topic

As a student of computing you have been talking to the owner of your local corner shop. Having found out you are a student of computing, the owner of the shop has been talking to you about how she manages the stock / inventory control in the shop. She believes that automation of the inventory control in the shop would result in a number of benefits. She would like you to produce a feasibility study for the proposed replacement of her current paper based system with an electronic information system. You have decided to advise her how she could proceed before committing to a full systems development project. You have decided to produce a poster to explain your ideas.

The system will focus solely on the management of stock; everything else is out of scope. It will not include:
• Sales system
• Accounts system
• Personnel system

You are required to produce a poster which together with a verbal presentation will provide the owner with:

1. The high level requirements for the system
2. The development approach you would propose to adopt
for the system and why
3. A requirements capture plan

I hope someone could kindly guide me on this. Appreciate it

Thanking you in advance!
