Assignment:
At their initial meeting, Nina and Mark discussed some initial steps in planning an information system for the new facility. The next morning, they worked together on a business profile, and talked together about various types of information systems that would provide the best support for the supercenters' operations.
They also discussed the possibilities of incorporating personal wearable fitness devices that capture and monitor parameters such as heart rate. They know that these have become popular in the general community, especially for people who are keenly seeking to monitor and improve their fitness. Although no firm decisions were made, they did discuss the possibilities that such devices may offer to enhance their business offerings. It was observed that there would even be the possibility of offering such devices for hire to their customers. There were clearly possible benefits for using such devices, but it seemed a big step to formally incorporate these into their information system.
Still, the idea had been raised and may be worth further consideration. They had each wondered about the possible benefits that could flow from such devices, but acknowledged that these were likely beyond their immediate needs.
Nina starts creating a System Vision Document for the new You Can Fit In system, so she can use this to define a vision for the new system.
ACTIVITY
1. Either by yourself or with another class member, brainstorm all the functions that the You Can Fit In system might fulfil. Keep it at a very high level.
2. Prepare a draft System Vision Document for the new You Can Fit In system. This System Vision Document will be revised when you find out more about the requirements for the system. An example System Vision Document can be seen in Figure 1.8 of your textbook (Figure 1.5 in the 6th ed).
3. Add your System Vision Document to your Report document in Part A: Initial Investigation.
