Introduction to System Design Assignment
A teacher wants to start a Maths Tutoring business for primary-school children in Melbourne. The plan is to start with one mobile classroom in a large bus that can move around different school areas in Melbourne, and then expand to multiple buses, and other large Australian cities (especially Sydney and Brisbane) over the next couple of years. Each mobile classroom will be independently owned and managed, using a franchise arrangement for all the learning materials (online teaching materials, games, and quizzes, etc.) and central support (booking systems, finance management, etc.).
The business will require mobile computer links to all classrooms to access the learning materials (for fast response times, the learning materials could also be cached locally within each mobile classroom) and handle bookings. Most children will use large-screen tablets supplied in the mobile classroom, but there will also be a requirement for wireless access points for the children in each mobile classroom so that they can bring their own device (BYOD). Each bus has a waiting lounge for parents, with vending machines to sell high quality snacks and tea and coffee. Given that the business owner has specific objectives for the business, including the expansion to other stores, it is important that the current business be structured correctly as it will form the model for future franchises.
The owner of the business (Mrs Ada Lovelace) has commissioned your consultancy firm, NMC Consultancy to prepare a formal business management report to explain the concepts of systems analysis and systems design, in relation to their situation. In particular Mrs Ada Lovelace and her associates are interested in understanding the following questions:
Q1: For the requirements analysis you will need to talk to people. Please detail five groups of people you will talk to about requirements and justify your answer?
Q2: Explain what methods you might use to discover the requirements for this system.
Q3: Provide a 750 word summary answering the question; what is scalability and why is it an important factor to consider when making recommendations to the franchise?
