Assignment:
Your team is to develop and explain a proposed technology solution for Jerry's business. You will come up with some specific business objectives that could be supported by technology solutions, and then identify some IT solutions that could benefit Jerry's carpet business. As a team, you will decide which technology or combination of technologies would benefit his business the most and should be implemented first. Your team will develop a Business Case to explain the solution and how it would be implemented.
The Business Case must be well written and be able to be understood by Jerry, with his limited technical understanding. It is to be written as a proposal to Jerry that explains and defends the solution your team is putting forward.
Your team will develop the Business Case, section by section, as we proceed through the class. The Business Case will be done as a series of documents prepared by your team that together form the full Business Case. The specifics for each section are in the weekly group project assignments, beginning with the Week 1 Group Assignment. The complete business case assignment is in the "Building the Business Case" document posted in the classroom.
Context Diagram
The purpose of this section is to provide a context diagram to illustrate the various types of system users and the types of interactions they will have with the system. The context diagram supplements the requirements listed in Section VII to further illustrate the system requirements and solution.
- Since this diagram will be placed in the Appendix, this section should include a brief explanation of the diagram and make reference to it.
- The diagram shows the boundaries or scope of the proposed solution, the external entities involved, and the data that flows between the system and the external entities. Each type of system user should be included among the external entities.
Approach to Developing this Section
In developing this section, the team should be sure that the diagram matches the system description and includes all of the entities that interact with the system. In developing the context diagram, the PowerPoint presentation "Context Diagram Explanation" (located in Course Content) provides an example and a brief explanation, and the icons can be copied and used for the team's context diagram, if so desired. In Section VIII, create an explanation of the context diagram and refer to it in the Appendix, and place the context diagram in the Appendix.
