Your Task

This assessment is to be completed individually. In this assessment, you will create a requirements specification plan using Agile requirement gathering techniques and UML modelling for a new online shopping platform that meets the specifications described in the case study.
Assessment Description

You have been hired as a consultant to design a set of IT project specifications for a new online shopping platform. The platform will allow customers to browse, select, and purchase items online, and will require the development of a database to manage inventory and orders. You will need to apply various IT modelling techniques to produce a requirements specification plan and create a use- case model and associated user stories of a sufficient calibre to be presented to various stakeholders. Your task will be to document and communicate the requirements to various stakeholders, including the development team.

Case Study:
You have been hired as a consultant to design a set of IT project specifications for a new online shopping platform called "ShopEZ". ShopEZ is an e-commerce platform that will allow customers to browse, select, and purchase items online. The platform will require the development of a database to manage inventory and orders, as well as integration with various payment and delivery systems.

The stakeholders for this project include the development team, the project sponsor, and the end- users (i.e., the customers). The project sponsor has set a strict deadline for the launch of the platform, and the development team is working in an Agile environment using Agile methodology.

Learning outcome 1: Apply the elements of an Information Systems Development Methodology when evaluating business requirements.

Learning outcome 2: Explain the components of an Agile methodology and how they can be applied in the modelling process.

Learning outcome 3: Document and communicate information systems requirements to various stakeholders.
