Assignment Overview

The Scrum process is one of the more successful software-architecture processes used today. For this assignment, you will apply one part of the Scrum process to the Fantasy Games scenario-the creation of user stories. The user stories become the product backlog of the Scrum process. In order to complete this, first review the Fantasy Games scenario

Fantasy Games Scenario

Your consulting company has been hired by the CIO to design the software architecture for Fantasy Games. The company is adding a new game titled Asteroids to its catalog and intends to build a multiplayer environment for this new game. In order to support this game, an entirely new subcomponent needs to be added to their existing Web community. You are to create a software architecture proposal for this new subsystem. As part of your proposal, you have been asked to develop a single-player working prototype of the game itself.

The Fantasy Games community currently has 1.2 million users, and they expect that user activity will grow tremendously with the addition of this new environment. Your design must be flexible enough to accommodate the current number of users and all anticipated and unanticipated future growth. The Asteroids Web component, or subsystem, for this game should include many of the same features found on other popular online-gaming sites such as chat, instant messaging, user-rank functionality, and high-score display. Although Fantasy Games currently has a few other multiplayer games available within their overall community, they would like this project to set the new standards for how similar subsystems will be added in the future.

Assignment Preparation

For this assignment, you will apply the Scrum process to create user stories for the Fantasy Games scenario. You need to create user stories for chat, instant messaging, user-rank functionality, and the high score display for the Web subsystem functions.
