Discussion One – Dec/17

Consider what you will need to know about the business problem, and using the lecture, your Robertson and Robertson text and the BABOK® guide located in your online classroom, develop a list of 10-15 open-ended questions that you will need answered in order to begin formulating a solution. Explain the techniques and/or approaches that you will use with the stakeholder(s) to help develop the answers you need. Post your list of questions and techniques to the forum.

Discussion two – Dec/17

Before beginning work on this forum, read Crossing the Imaginary Line—Design Thinking in Business Analysis (Links to an external site.). Define and explain the differences between functional requirements and non-functional requirements. Support each description with examples demonstrating your understanding of the concepts.

Assignment – Dec/18

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, review the lecture, the assigned readings in the Robertson and Robertson text and the BABOK® guide located in your online classroom. Using either UML (Universal Modeling Language) (Links to an external site.) or BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) (Links to an external site.) and the CWI business scenario, collaborate and work with your assigned group to map CWI’s business problem. You may use one of the suggested modeling tools or choose one of your own, but you must use either UML or BPMN as the notation for this task. Also incorporate the answers stakeholders may give you from the questions you developed in this week’s discussion forums.

Use your Team Project Workspace for any correspondence and work that the group completes. Post a copy of your group’s diagram to the interactive discussion forum, and provide a short description (one to two paragraphs) of the business problem your diagram depicts.
