Gathering, Analyzing, and Presenting Business Requirements This section serves as an introduction to the process of gathering, analyzing, and presenting business requirements that students will use throughout the course. It introduces the concept of aligning business and technology groups and using a process to develop solutions to business and technology challenges. Remind students that they will be delving into each part of the process in the modules that follow. Avoid getting into any detail at this point. Emphasize the deliverables along the way. Indicate the module in which you will cover each step in more detail so that students can see the course flow. ! Activity 2.1, "Reviewing the Process" This activity serves as an opportunity for you to learn more about students’ work experience and to assess their understanding of the overall process. If students have not had much business experience gathering and analyzing requirements, you will need to use examples from your own experience. ! Business Processes This section introduces students to the common processes that occur across all businesses and those processes specific to a business. Students should see that they need to get the big picture of a business before launching into the process of gathering, analyzing, and presenting business requirements. Let students know that at this point they are identifying the processes at a high level, rather than focusing on specifics. They will focus on the details of each process when they start gathering and analyzing information about the high-level processes. ! Activity 2.2: "Identifying Business Processes" Students should identify as many processes as possible in the case study. They should not try to prioritize business processes or determine any details of the process. They will focus on a subset of the processes when they identify the business challenge and vision statement. ! Business Challenge Students took a high-level view of a business when identifying business processes. Now, they begin to narrow the scope by learning about a business challenge that may focus on a subset of the business processes. Students should realize that the business challenge may already be identified when they join a project. They will still need to verify the accuracy of the business challenge. ! Activity 2.3, "Identifying the Business Challenge and Vision Statement" Let students determine their own business challenge and vision statement in their small groups. If they have problems developing a common business challenge or vision statement, review the case study with them and point out the main problem with the consultant timesheets and customer billing, and then develop a common answer with the class.
