Instructions for the Final Project
It's important that you understand what you're supposed to do, and what you're not supposed to do. You'll be listening to a series of interviews with your customer, and as a class, conducting a series of interviews with your customer. Then, based on that, you're going to produce a requirements specification in the format of your choice that covers her needs. The 3 interviews arelabeled season 1 to 3. The remaining will be any or all of you asking questions of your customers in the Bidders' Forum. Your requirements documents will explain your customer's needs, all your customer's needs, and no needs but your customer's needs.
It is very important that you understand that the previous interview, Season 1 Episode 1 and Season 2 Episode 1 is an introduction to one of the characters involved and the situation only. All of those needs are in the past. You should not be basing anything in your specification off Season 1 or Season 2, except perhaps to mention as reference points things that have already occurred. Season 3 Episode 1 is my first interview with your customer. All of season 3's needs are to be addressed completely. There's no "stop at 8 rule". Season 3 Episode 2 will be a follow up interview I'll be doing. The rest of Season 3 takes place in the Bidders' Forum, before and/or after Episode 2 drops.
I'll be constructing the "answer key" from the interviews, including the Bidders' Forum as soon as I get the first paper in, and the Bidders' Forum will close at that point, but not before Episode 2 drops.
Bidder conference, you write the questions you want to ask in the bidder conference as seen below.
Here, just as in real life, you can send questions to your customer through me. You don't need to post here, but you do need to read this forum every day. If the customer says she wants something, or doesn't want something, that had better affect your SRS. Don't annoy your customer by asking questions already answered. Remember that she's newer to this process than you are, and is in no way a computer expert. When the 2nd interview posts, and then the first turn-in of this assignment happens, this forum will close, even if you have a question entered but not yet answered.
A warning: You may use any reasonable format you like, with or without a template. For instance, you can use the template from assignment 1 or 2, or find one to your liking elsewhere. But, if you do use a template, be sure it's a template only. Don't work from someone else's work, because this customer's needs are extremely different than any other customer's needs (unless you've contracted with JLA).
The Bidders' Conference establishes the fine points of the assignment. I construct an "answer key" by going through the customer interview transcripts, and further conversations with the customer in the Bidders' Conference. I'm going to look for use cases or stimulus/response/requirement sets that fulfill all of the main points in the sessions with the customer. I'm also going to go through your work and make sure that nothing you have violates anything in the main points or in the fine points. I'll also check for overscope (things you have [other than suggestions] that the customer didn't want or need). Suggestions (marked as such) are fine.
