Requirement Engineering

Case Study: Recycle4Change (R4C) - Enabling a Sustainable Recycling System

Assessment - Requirements Documentation & Lifecycle Management Report

Learning Outcome 1: Critically evaluate requirements management as it applies to a variety of organisational environments.

Learning Outcome 2: Demonstrate methods for eliciting, analysing, documenting, and maintaining requirements in an organisational context.

Learning Outcome 3: Evaluate organisational requirements to maximise effectiveness and promote sustainable business practices.

Assessment Task

This Assessment requires you as a group to write a requirements document and lifecycle management report in response to the given case study. The same case study will be used for all three assessments so that you can develop insights into the different facets of Requirements Engineering. This is a group report of 2500 words (+/- 10%) and should focus on the following two areas:
A. Requirements Documentation
B. Requirements Lifecycle Management
Please refer to the Task Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context

The focus of Assessment 1 was on the strategic analysis and elicitation of requirements. In this second assessment, you will come together as a team and progress to the next step in the requirements process: requirements analysis & documentation, and requirements lifecycle management. Here you will focus on specifying, modelling, verifying, and validating requirements using Business Analysis best practice. Then you will focus on Requirements Lifecycle Management. This assessment aims to assist you in developing workplace relevant business analysis skills in a predictive planning context.

Task Instructions:

1. Team Formation
a. You are required to form teams of 5 members.
b. Team formation will be decided by the Learning Facilitator in consultation with the class.
c. The deadline for team registration is 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of Module 2.1 (Week 3). For
intensive class, the deadline is 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of Module 2/Week 2
d. Consult your Learning Facilitator about team registration process (email or any other means). Please list the names and student ID numbers of all the members of your team.
e. You are required register your team before the registration deadline.
f. After the registration deadline, those students who are not in a team will be allocated to a team by the Learning Facilitator.
2. Please read the given case study and make assumptions wherever needed.
3. Based on the given case study, you as a group are required to write 2500 words (+/-10%) requirements document and lifecycle management group report.
4. The report DOES NOT require an executive summary or abstract.

5. Structure of the Group Report
• A professional custom title page with the subject code and subject name, assignment title, student's name, student number and lecturer's name
• Table of contents
• Please indicate who participated in which part of this assessment development. This will be helpful to understand the level of contribution of each member in the group.
• An introduction (100-150 words) which will also serve as your statement of purpose for the report. This means that you will tell the reader what you are going to cover in your report. You will need to inform the reader of:
o The key concepts you will be addressing,
o What the reader can expect to find in the body of the report

• The body of the report (2200-2300 words) will need to cover two specific areas:
A. Requirements Documentation - all items should contain unique identifier and priority (where applicable)
a) Identify business requirements in terms of business objectives, success criteria, and business
risks.
b) Identify major features of the project and the scope initial and subsequent releases.
c) Seven (07) functional requirements as requirement catalogue (following the characteristics of
‘good' requirement). Please document each functional requirement using the following template:
d) Five (05) non-functional requirements for the given case study (e.g., performance, usability, security, safety, availability perspectives). This also need to follow the characteristics of ‘good' requirement.
e) Map out a swim lane diagrams for one (01) key process, which will be supported by the system.

B. Requirements Life Cycle Management
a) From requirement life cycle management best practices, select the three (03) most important practices for the given case study and describe them briefly. Then justify why you think they are most important for the given scenario.
b) A Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to manage the requirements through each stage of the requirements lifecycle populated with the requirements identified in the first part of this assessment. You may use Excel for your Requirement Traceability Matrix. An example of RTM template can be like the following:

• The conclusion (100-150 words) will summarise any findings or recommendations that the report puts forward regarding the concepts covered in the report.
• Reference list
• Appendix (if required)
5. Report Format and Layout
• The report should use font Arial or Calibri 11 point, should be line spaced at 1.5 for ease of reading and page numbers on the bottom of each page.
• If diagrams or tables are used, please follow APA 7 guideline for the same. Diagrams and tables must carry the appropriate captioning.
• Due attention should be given to pagination to avoid loss of meaning and continuity by unnecessarily splitting information over two pages.
6. Peer evaluation
Peer evaluation will constitute the final 20% of the mark for Assessment 2. Participation will be determined as follows:
• Each student in the team will evaluate the other members' contributions using a participation score in the Peer Evaluation Matrix)
• Individually, each team member will assign a "participation score" for each member of the group, according to the Peer Evaluation Grading Scheme.
• The participation score need to be submitted by each student individually via the designated link at the same time as the final group assessment submission.
• The Facilitator will use the average "participation score" for each member to determine the weighted
‘Teamwork' criterion row in the final marking rubric for this assessment.
• All peer evaluation submissions are mandatory, confidential, and not viewed by other team members.
