Guidelines for preparing your midterm report

. Overall

o You are explaining how a system provides value to an organization – you need to give detail about HOW and WHY it does what it does

o The report needs to be consistent, with all sections supporting each other towards making the reader understand system

o Use professional report format – so title page, short executive summary, contents page, numbered headings for the Sections 1-4 specified – and references where appropriate. Use a portrait orientation and avoid using large graphics as a background or excessive use of screenshots.

o There is NO recommended page/word length, or limit – as many as required to show you understand the course content covered within first six lectures, and how to perform the analysis

. Section 1

o Don’t forget to explain the background of the organization who owns the system and how that system provides value to them

o You also need to explain the rationale (reasoning) for choosing this system to analyse

. You don’t need to tellus the real business or system name (confidentiality is respected). However,the report needs to clearly explain the organizational   background and system

. Section 2

o Draw asystems diagram and discuss scope

. Using the basic system features (slide 15 of Week 2) will help with this

o If you have a very large system, this is where you focus on a particular major function(s) or sub-system(s)

. Section 3

o First explain how you gathered requirements, why that method(s) and who from

. Optional: Good idea to include copies of any surveys, questionnaires,

interview questions, etc. you created – put them in an Appendix at the end of your report

o Then for each type of user/stakeholder you identified and gather requirements from, identify what their requirements are

. Suggest you workout the best way to allow you to organise by type

(manager, customer, etc.) and importance (mandatory, desirable & frill)

. Section 4

o Draw a context diagram

o Your process models will be DFDs and done to the level 1 DFDs

. Make sure you follow the rules concerning use of DFDs

. Clearly title every DFD (captions will help with cross-referencing)

o Strongly recommend use of some form of CASE or modelling diagram tool

. You may draw by hand, but be extra careful to make them neat and readable
