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:
• Overview of the problem you've been asked to research.
• The key concepts you will be addressing,
• What the reader can expect to find in the body of the report

The body of the report (1700-1800 words) will need to cover the following areas:
• A Product Roadmap and a Product Backlog of coarse granularity including Epics and user stories
• A Persona who typifies the future system end user
• Decomposition of an Epic in user stories for first release
• Story Mapping - ordering user stories according priority and sophistication
• Minimum Viable Product definition for first release
• Story elaboration of the stories for MVP to ensure that the User Story is clear
• Well considered acceptance criteria for the stories to ensure that ‘definition of done' is clear to all stakeholders.
• A paragraph detailing the similarities and differences between traditional predictive requirements analysis and management and Agile requirements analysis and management.

The conclusion (100-150 words) will summarise any findings or recommendations that the report puts forward regarding the concepts covered in the report.

6. 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.
