r Module 4, your assignment is to put your knowledge of system requirements analysis into practice.
Please write up a 3-4 page paper documenting the information requirements of your hypothetical information system project. In the course of your write-up, please describe user (business) and technical requirements (technology acquisition). Training users should be also part of business requirements. Training is a requirement often overlooked, but it can certainly improve technology acceptance and the quality of systems implementation.
The paper can be longer because certain project may naturally vary in terms of their list of requirements. In your paper, please make sure to discuss the following points in additional to presenting your information requirements:
How did you conduct your requirements analysis? What techniques did you use?
Why did you conduct your analysis in the way that you have chosen?
What are your business and technical requirements?
What difficulties did you face when conducting your requirements analysis?
What were your lessons learned as you elicit requirements and gathered information? Would you do something different next time?
The following items will be assessed in particular:
The degree to which you have carried out the assignment completely, or clarified why you could not and investigated alternatives
Your ability to describe your project clearly and develop your recommendations systematically
Your ability to focus on the overall purposes of the assignment, not just its specific steps
Your use of some in-text references to what you have read; please cite all sources properly. General Case and SLP Paper Writing Guidelines
