MIS611 Information Systems Capstone

Task:

Summary

This capstone subject encompasses an authentic assessment strategy within a work integrated learning context that delivers a ’real life’ learning experience. You will receive a brief from a case organisation/client which will form the basis for the three sequential assessments included in this subject. Assessment 1 Stakeholder Requirements Document is the first of three phases in which you, as a team will formulate a group response to the case organisation/client’s brief. 

You will be required to select a project management approach based on what you believe is the most suitable approach for your client’s project. In doing so, you will make use of the tools and techniques that are aligned with the chosen approach including the appropriate requirements lifecycle techniques. Part of this assessment is also to briefly explain why the selected approach is the most appropriate to meet the needs of your client. In alignment with your selected project approach and framework, you will need to detail and demonstrate the requirements methods, tools and techniques that you are using with a justification as to why they have been selected as the most appropriate.

Caveat

While this subject focuses on three phases of assessment, this does not preclude the selection of an iterative framework. The structure of the assessment is not one of the characteristics which you should use to define the selected approach. Also, note that the title of this report specifically does not references typical document naming conventions within either the traditional ‘waterfall’ approach, nor the Agile approach to offer you the freedom to make the selection you believe is the most appropriate response to the challenge.

Context

In the field of Information Systems (IS), there are several different frameworks with aligned tools and techniques that can be used to build solutions for organisations. Different frameworks are better suited to different problems and solutions. For example, the traditional project management approach takes a linear approach through a sequence of events, while an Agile approach is iterative.

IS leaders need to understand different philosophies and their approaches, their frameworks and the tools and techniques which they employ. This is so that they can make discerning decisions when selecting approaches to solve problems for the business. A key outcome of this series of sequential assessments will be for you to demonstrate your skills in selecting an approach with reasoning and justification, and then follow through by using the appropriate methods, tools and techniques as a simulation of a real solution delivery for a case organisation/client.
